The student support is very poor, students report safeguarding concerns to no avail.
The agile learning was removed without publishing this therefore not helping those of us who are young carers. Student support is lacking. The course is very good.
Fun comfortable uni to study at
There is little to no support for students struggling and complaints do not get taken seriously. Needs stricter punishment for bullying.
Friendly and helpful
Better organisation of our time tables at the start of the year.
Great timetable and lecture
I think that the campus is easy to found your way around
The friendly atmosphere
I love how small the uni is as it makes of feel more like a community. The staff are all kind and happy to help answer any question you may have. However while the uni is small it can be complicated to find some classrooms as they aren’t always labelled in numerical order
I think we need readint weeks
Uni location is so far from the centre No reading weeks makes it harder to catch up when falling behind
The best is the academics and the facilities, but the worst is that because the uni is small, it usually feels empty.

I really enjoy studying at BGU, with it being such a small campus it really gives a homely and friendly feel. The support it’s immaculate with there being a support system in place called CELT where you can book up to 4 appointments each semester and also have continuous drop in sessions. I also enjoy the class sizes as they are quite small compared to if I went to a bigger university in a bigger city, this helps me concentrate a lot more as there’s less noise and distractions and it’s a lot easier to get help from my lecturer as they have less students to deal with. BGUs location is also lovely with having a very historical background, the cathedral and the castle are beautiful to go view and have a picnic and study in during the summer!! BGU also has a variety of sport activities including netball which is one that I attend every week and I enjoy very much. They also have a variety of events on throughout the semester such as movie events, fun fair, free food events, studying events, discussions etc. so far I cannot think of any ways BGU can improve, students have the support and the activities they need all in one area.
Immerse students into facilities more
