Fantastic student support for mental health and lectures
Good support, good location, safe and comfortable environment
The student support available is always incredible and everybody is so welcoming and approachable
It is a nice campus with good facilities
The help you receive at BGU is amazing from academic to mental health support. The campus is in a fairly decent location. The staff have been very helpful and friendly in assisting me with my needs.
I love the university as it’s small and all the tutors are friendly helpful, approachable, understanding of each students commitment also specially if they have caring commitments.
There is an unlimited amount of support for students making assignments easier to understand and complete. As a smaller university the community is smaller and not something i have been able to experience to the fullest due to outside uni commitments. Everyone students and staff have always been lovely. Facilities and buildings are older than other universities but they serve their purpose.
It is a very welcoming environment and all the staff such as the accomodation staff and cleaners are lovely.
It’s a small uni which makes it easier to access support and one to one meetings with tutors and student services. This uni provides great services such as CELT which helps you with academic writing and tech support. The only negative is its location. Although it is within a university city, the city is small and the nightlife is not that of other, bigger cities.
Staff are friendly and know you as an individual. The range of clubs and societies are slim. The uni is slow to act on complaints about uncomfortable and offensive flatmates.
The University staff have been incredibly supportive and couldn’t have made settling into my studies any easier. My lecturers are easy to talk to and supportive of all their students. Couldn’t ask for anything to be improved upon.
Coming to BGU from the University of Oxford, I can whole-heartedly say this place is fantastic. The tutors are incredible, highly inspiring and extremely well-organised. It is the most supportive environment you could ever imagine. The campus is in a lovely location. The only downside is the lack of extra-curricular opportunities.
Personally I don’t think it is worth the money that it is and go only be in 2 days a week. Only one/two lecturers on the course that makes it worth it in my opinion.
This university as one of the smaller ones makes your tuition feel very personalised. You receive an amazing amount of support with whatever you require support in; educationally, mentally, physically. I applaud this BGU’s part in reducing period poverty, supplying sanitary products for females in need. BGU could improve by increasing the size of the parking lot.

The university is amazing. The support I've received from tutors is brilliant. Student advice helped me apply for DSA and put a support plan in place. All my tutors have been supportive, understanding and approachable. The grounds the uni is set in are lovely and relaxing, the cakes from curiosity are delicious. All the staff I've met in refectory , curiosity , gardeners, in the gym, Celt, librarians, student advice etc are so warm and friendly. I'm currently doing dissertations and have enjoyed every minute of attending bgu.
Campus is nice, facilities were great, however they got rid of Starbucks for a self serve coffee station which isn’t nearly as good. Support is alright, you can always ask for support from your personal tutor or another tutor. Student life is, in my experience, quite frustrating right now. There’s no clear schedule, and as someone who takes public transport to get to university it can be frustrating having to come in for a one hour lesson. I also missed placement this year due to them not being able to find one which ruined quite a lot of plans for me. I have had limited interactions with the students Union so can’t say much about this.


Lovely Uni, great opportunities and people
Great course fab leaders
