First gen student
The staff are incredibly supportive. There are opportunities to explore career fayres, student extra curricular activities related to the course. The facilities are great but I do feel the food provided on campus is expensive for what it is.
Student support from staff is outstanding. Course content is delivered in a variety of ways to ensure different learning styles are met.
The fact that we are only in for a whole day from 9am to 4pm and then only 2 hours the following day is a bit annoying because it means we have 5 1/2 days with nothing to do because we're not given our assignment briefs until 2 weeks before the due date usually so it means we have months of 5 days off and then 2 weeks to do 3-4 assignments depending on how many modules we have so it gets a bit boring then very stressful but the lecturers are brilliant mostly.
Our lecturers are excellent and so dedicated to us students. No problem is too big and they always provide a solution to any difficulties.
The university is on a good location with lots of support during my course. I dont have any comments on improvement, I'm happy with how it is.
Its not too far from home.
Stafford university offers a layout of lectures and placements that other universities don't. Such as having 3 different placements a year and knowing where you go at the start of the year and assignments being laid out so there isn't too much going on at once. They could improve by having more placements or hands on assessment options rather than assignments. Could improve on having available tutors for those that struggle academically.
The campus is lovely and the staff are really friendly and helpful. It's close to the train station so it's connected to larger cities. My course is really interesting and caters well to it's students.
The learning is great, I think staff care a lot here compared to the last university I went to and left due to lack of support. I find the course is actually interesting and I like being engaged.
I am studying a very good course with amazing staff and facilities. I am completing placement in an amazing location and cannot complain. I have loved every minute. I love living on campus and getting involved in everything that goes on.
It's a great place to study- there are a lot of facilities available to use which can enhance the experience and help with assignments etc.
The Staff are very good and the facilties are up to standard.
It's been a great experience so far and has both improved my social life and given me something to aspire towards. Lecturers and support can sometimes be quite hard to approach, though this is more so my own fault due to general social awkwardness.
Ticks all the boxes for me. Couldn't have asked for better. Also as a neurodiverse mature student, the support I got was beyond my expectations. The lecturers were well knowledgeable and went beyond their duty to make sure the students achieved the maximum from the course.
It is a small building which gives a sense of community about it. One way it could be improved is to have different food options as the cafe is quite expensive.
Great resources, facilities and teaching.
It a close by location with great opportunities to go into. There could be more toilets closer to studios.
Most faculty and staff members are kind and supportive, demonstrating a willingness to assist students in various capacities. While the majority of students are also pleasant, I have observed that within my group, I am one of the few individuals of African descent. This can occasionally create a sense of discomfort associated with being a minority. I appreciate the secure nature of the campus buildings, which restrict access to only students and staff members. This security measure is reassuring, particularly given the university's proximity to a busy road, which allows for the potential influx of uninvited individuals. However, I have concerns about the considerable distances between some classes, as navigating from one location to another can lead to excessive perspiration while endeavoring to arrive on time. Furthermore, I am grateful that lectures are recorded, as I have faced challenges attending some classes this year and have relied heavily on these recordings. Nevertheless, I find it concerning that recordings may sometimes be halted during critical segments of the lecture. This issue is particularly disheartening because some students cannot attend due to employment obligations, financial difficulties, or family commitments. For many, this academic experience may represent a unique opportunity to pursue their education, and such barriers may hinder their success. Overall, my experience at this institution has been highly positive. As I approach the conclusion of my undergraduate studies, I intend to apply for the doctoral program at this university.
So far good.

Best thing about university of Staffordshire is the family atmosphere.
Blended learning is ok but I prefer in class learning which better suits my learning style and there is only so much you can learn online.
