The reason why I decided to study at the University of Staffordshire was because of 3 things. 1. The location is right next to the train station and all the facilities are near each other which makes it really enjoyable and easy to get to. 2. The staff on my course and at the University are really easy to talk too and really friendly when you approach them. I also like the fact that the University allows you when it comes to the course to privately talk to the lecturers who will be teaching you and also some of the current students on the course which allows prospective students to get a feel from a student perspective who is currently doing the course which helps them build an understanding of the course that they will be going into. 3. The size of the class as compare to bigger University which could easily have 100 students on courses at least. The University of staffordshire has around 30 students per year at most on courses this allows the student to get more guidance and help from fellow students and more support from lecturers. In general the location of the University is not bad and really easy to find and when on the train you will always be able to see the university not matter which way you go to leave stoke station.
The facilities are great… if you’re not in the arts. There is a big lack of… well, anything when it comes to developing the arts. With the comic printer being fired and now the art shop closing down, it feels as though the University does not care about artistic courses at all. The student life is good, and the support is okay- excellent if sourced through the Students Union. The location is fantastic in regards to its links with the rest of the country.
Best experiences are that the staff understand your needs and help you achieve your goals. The facilities are amazing I haven't had a bad experience
Staffordshire University is the supportive atmosphere and all the opportunities to grow. The Student Ambassador scheme has been amazing for building confidence and meeting new people. The lecturers are really experienced and often bring in real-world examples from industry, which makes the lessons so much more engaging. The Careers team is also super helpful — they give great advice and genuinely care about helping students plan their future. If I had to pick one downside, it would be that there aren’t any microwaves on campus for students to heat up food, which would definitely make things more convenient.
great teachers
The teachers are welcoming and helpful the environment is nice I learn a lot and there are so much opportunities great for you portfolio and networking purposes
I think the only downside to this university is the fact that it's small but that's what makes it so good. Because of how small it is, lectures are able to help us on a more personal level.
More activities to do outside of class times
The university offers a wide range if courses and opportunities for specialisation. It offers a vibrant and friendly atmosphere to all. The layout is different to a traditional University, being open planned with many areas to work as groups.
Very supporting , feeling very comfortable and excited for the future.
Coming in, because I didnt move in on the 14th, it was really difficult to find where to get your keys and there was an option to come in at a time where the key people are supposed to be having lunch, (the option we picked) and we had to wait extra time. Apart from that it was a very smooth process moving in. I've really enjoyed freshers week so far and all the events that have been offered, even though i missed the welcome party because of work. This week has been very useful, everyone is friendly and im excited to spend my year here.
University of Staffordshire is a great place to study due to the fact that their lecturers are accommodating and have a unique ways of teaching by making sure that the students understands the modules being taught. They are friendly, ensure that all students are inclusive and always try all their possible best in making sure that students achieve their aims.
Being nervous if your passing the theory side of the course. The best bit is being able to do the practice side and go onto placements.
Its good not that much good.
Make it even the best.
Great staff. Amazing opportunities and guest lecturers. Could be improved by better timetable schedules. Some lessons have 2 - 3 hour gaps inbetween them.
Nothing to improve every single member of the staff and students here are impeccable.
I don't have a comment on how improvements can be made but I love the variety that is offered to meet new people.
