I wouldn't wish the university experience on my worst enemy. Tutoring is bad, student support is unhelpful and rude. My advice is.. RUN away from Arden University.
Arden University makes zero efforts to increase my employability. Most of the tutors just want to hurriedly interact with you and be out, mostly lacking the drive to see impact of success on their student.
I do 98% of the study myself. The tutors just do the grading and contradict themselves in the comments they give on grade in relation to their feedback before assessment.

Manageable
I do distant learning
ZERO. Student support staff basically lack good interpersonal relationship.
I am very happy with Arden University. I feel comfortable thanks to the great support and the absence of discrimination, and over all, the encouragement of my tutor.
By providing the students with valuable transferable skills, our university is enhancing our employability profile in a highly competitive job market.
Being one of four SRA approved course providers delivering LLB by distance learning. Arden University is giving chance to thousands of people like me all over the world to gain a high quality and highly valuable degree.

As distance learning student I can only refer to the distance learning platform, the email support, Skype, and adobe connect sessions. I will know more about my university when I will have the opportunity to take my next exam.
As a distance learning student, this question seems not to be relevant to me.
The university is very supportive to its students. By promoting the idea of "EDUCATION FOR ALL", Arden University is breaking the barriers which prevent a lot of people from acceding to Education.
I started a healthcare management course in 2017. Its great course for someone who wants to learn about social care. I also have been a student representative, the system covers various different roles. It gaining skills that assist in my personal development and help improve my employability.
For Arden university is the concept of student employability is high on the agenda. Around 75% of our university students say that enhanced career prospects are one of the main reasons they have chosen to go into higher education. Our university supports us to achieve high academic grades by organizing students to attend a different workshop. Most of the students in my class will know about skills teamwork, transferable skills, communication, attributes.
The way the programme set up and have enough material in iLearn and flexible learning. The way tutors guide us to achieve our goals

Arden University is very well structured and our student support helps our many ways. Excellent facilities.
I like it bit far to travel
Student support work within the team. I f you have any issues medically or financially or related to stress there are plenty of help available to us
The best educational experience I have ever had. The subjects are interesting. The tutors are extremely helpful. The website is easy to navigate. The assignments are very challenging.
Great University. Can't fault it in any way.
I genuinely find it difficult to fault anything. Great support and interesting subjects.

Online. Easy.
None.
Perfect. Very helpful.
Well, I have only just completed my first module (1 of 5) on my top-year at Arden University, but going by what I have experienced so far, it has all been positive. Arden University's distant and blended style of teaching is modern and suits me and is good for students that are working, parents, etc, as it offers flexibility.
Their modules are relevant and kept up to date with modern society. Their additional workshops help with improving transferable skills. Not sure if they support work placements.
They have high quality tutors who know their stuff and apply teaching techniques that are relevant to the assignment and easy to understand. Their ilearn online infrastructure is modern and contains support on every aspect of academic needs. That have a great online induction system that fully prepares the students for university.

I am used to city life as I have lived in London all my life. I feel the hustle and bustle of a fast-paced city life is more suited to the younger generations, as one gets a bit older they tend to look for a bit more of the tranquil lifestyle.
Excellent. Arden University has first rate student support and unlimited feedback from tutors.
One star is to much for this university!! Please if you don’t want your life to become difficult and to have problems, to cry daily and to be lied in your face, don’t go to this university, as this will be the worst choice! must say the worst university you can ever attend. My experience with Arden was a nightmare and it still is. They making my life hard, they are not organised and they definitely don’t offer any support for the student. For the law subject, we had no seminars , no support. They give us a law timed assignment 24 hours for 3000 words in the first year. then told us we need to do a face to face presentation, we prepared and told us there is no date for that yet and then one day before submission 24 hours before they telling us we need to do an audio presentation and no more face to face! Then they released another assignment at 14:30 in place of 2 pm and they told me thats not true , because the actual assignment was there at 2 pm ( big lie as all my collegues send me picture with that, showing the assignment is not out) , then we still had to submit the next day at 2 pm , regardless they was late or not! I post them a review on facebook, made them several complaints and told them i wanna change the university next year and exactly after 1 day I received an email of unfair practice on my assignment, then been accused of plagiarism of 2 assignments in total! ( strangely after puting my review on facebook they dismissed the review so now no one can see any review). I just hope i can move myself or i can take an action for this university as i wasted my time and my money for nothing.

Good
no support at all!! 0 support
It has been a very good experience so far. The course material is interesting in most cases, uses real life examples however they should be regularly reviewed and refreshed. Most assignments were interesting but one was a total disaster. Overall it is very good however it could be even better.
there are very valuable free webinars with limited 1:1 consultation option and a career development portal.
A like the short but in-depth lessons I do not like that course material is sometimes outdated and assignments are mostly outdated.

Never used them

Fairly good, tutors respond quickly and provide detailed explanations. Student support could be better.
Excellent and enjoyable atmosphere with constant student support team with various experience in dealing with student issues positively. The uni is recommendable with my great experience during my session in higher institution regarding the quality tutors and mentoring ability to enrich individual student without any form of discrimination. The learning environment is very accommodative at convenience with higher administrative support to help learners accomplish their potentials.
Great Tutoring and Mentoring with outstanding learning materials provided
It is flexible and reliable

Outstanding learning material
Great with all parking and commercial facilities available with ease
Brilliant and empowering
overall I'm loving university, studying and meeting new people. I wish I would have done this years ago. I feel that Arden sometimes run to much like a business which may be correct to a certain degree, but due to working with all types of people it must base its policy and procedures on Person Centred Approach as each student will have their own individual needs and requirements that may need to be taken into consideration as part of the Equality and Diversity Acts and New GDPR Regs 2015 etc
offers extra studying groups and reqular emails to inform students of any training available etc
Due to this only being my second assignment I don't really have any major dislikes about my course being taught, apart from the fact that we have a new lecturer for each module so I feel as we are just gett8ing to know how one teaches, establish a good relationship between students and lecturers we are switched to another.
could have better facilities available to purchase a snack or drink open breaks and at dinner time.
Used to really but adapted well, parking is a nightmare and more car parking for the uni would be welcomed ny many
academic support is fine and if needed I have been given extra support by lecturers. the only area I feel I have had support is from, student services, I found the staff to be rude, patronising and condescending when I went to them with my situation. this has put me off ever wanting to approach them again with any other issues I may have if I'm honest.
It’s been great. Student based study groups, opportunities in discussion forums to get to know other students, plenty of assessment help, lots of notice for live sessions, deferral opportunities, the tutors are great and offer lots of support. Overall a really fantastic uni
Entire module based on transferable skills for employment including how to form a CV, how to write a covering letter, and skills that make you more employable. Great overall
Most: get to draw my own schedule up, around things in my life. Also great for helping with my anxiety as I don’t have to miss lectures Least: a little bit lacking in tutor support unless specifically requested. However emails are open to tutors and the replies have been very helpful to other students

Opportunity for formative feedback before coursework due dates - this is great for knowing you’re on the right track. Live sessions where students can ask tutors questions and the assessment is explained in detail - these are wonderful, and are recorded in case you can’t attend. Really can’t fault it. Also, if you mark yourself as having a disability during application you receive emails offering all kinds of support and exam adjustments, as well as opportunities to defer coursework. Fantastic overall
