They have a graduate+ scheme that helps increase employability. They also have many other schemes, guest speakers, people you can goto to check your CV and job applications and many work placement opportunities. The lectures all provide transferrable skills which will be valuable in real life

The lecturers are really friendly and they care. They are all willing to go the extra mile, and do what they can to help you succeed. The thing I like least is sometimes there are a lot of deadlines near to each other so it can feel a bit rushed

The students Union is really good, and they run lots of events so it's easy to get involved

I really like the accommodation. It is clean, well managed and all the staff are really friendly. My flatmates are nice, and it's a great environment to live in.

Extremely good. We have very high quality computers and lots of resources we can use, and I know it is constantly being updated

The city is a real nice place, and it's easy to make friends and meet new people

I love the ones I attend. They are well managed, fun and engaging, and there is such a wide variety of one's to choose from

We have weekly sessions where we can get support from our personal tutors, and there are lots of people we can reach out to if we need

Having a degree makes it possible to go into certain careers. It gives great opportunities to put in your CV, and great transferable skills, such as being part of a society.

I love the modules and the lecturers, and love the coursework. However I do not enjoy exams, but the course is mostly coursework based.

The students union is the best part about the university. We have a great students union pub with cheap prices. There are also a large variety of societies to get involved with, which is the best way to make friends and a great way to have fun.

The facilities are excellent. The university looks wonderful and modern and has a large amount of computers to access.

Being on the city campus, it is amazing to be so close to the city centre, everything is at your door steps and it doesn’t take long to get to shops or nightclubs. I love the city life and being in such a busy city.

Societies are amazing with a wide range that you’ll be able to find something you enjoy. They’re a great way to make friends and have fun.

Lecturers are amazing at giving feedback, giving detailed feedback on what went well and where to improve. However with my experience of one of the counsellors I did not find it helpful, but that is my personal preference of not liking counselling. The counselling facilities are easy to access.

Provide Careers+ department for every faculty im CV checks, guiding in jobs that are suitable for each student. The JobBook section that BCU had provides many opportunities for stident from jobs, volunteering and work placement experience.

I love how practical the whole course is, it is just that some parts are unclear at times and when being asked it did not give stidents the answer that we’re looking for.

Shared flat.

High tech, modern facilities. Very convenient especially in last minute printing

I love it, very alive at night and always feel safe and secure:

Great. The communication between module tutor and students is alright. The way of teaching for media students seems to be very practical and efficient in a good way.

All of the above.

Best: lots of group discussions in class and not just lectures. Worst: group presentations

9 hours a week isn't enough for £9250, often rushed, lecturers don't take much care to check if we understand

Good

More huts/places to sit at lunch would be better

Having lectures until 7pm makes me slightly annoyed sometimes, the walk to the station is a bit long

Could be more choice as cheer was the only one for dance/gymnastics girls

I previously wanted to change course and was having a bad time and the team were fantastic
