Great location with good equipment and talented teachers
Good place to study small group of students to lecture ratio. No proper zone for final year students to use as their own
the whole environment is amazing and so positive, it couldn’t be better
The students always have a place to sit and socialise
No
I love that there is always an event happening on campus, it makes coming to Uni really enjoyable as you never know what might be happening. It could be improved by more SU events as most are put on in other areas around campus.
The people and the lecturer.
I’ve loved my course so far and have met great people!

The student Union Bar is oddly built and I would argue not fit for purpose, poor atmosphere dissuades visiting although the food is reasonable. Walking around campus there are many class rooms that appear to be very poorly utilised, low flexibility in design so many are left unoccupied at what appears to be a permanent basis. That being said its very easy to find an empty room for the day to study in although security will tend to displace you come 6pm or so. Signage is a little odd but they are currently updating them. Canteen prices are rather high for some items, healthy options are not at all subsidised and fatty foods remain cheaper on the whole. Student Union shop is overpriced for basic essentials including women's sanitary (So I'm told) Large swathes of UWE require refurbishment externally, many instances of asbestos are present in the older UWE buildings and its surprising easy to access many parts of UWE you probably shouldn't be, cupboards left unlocked, dry risers ect. strange designs alterations such as suspended ceilings covering roof lights and the like make the older structures very odd. All in all could use a reskin for many areas, many services remain closed such as UWE IT foundry Activities, CPD and other events are poorly advertised across UWE recommend the use of more video or digital displays across UWE where data allows it. Same goes for Student support with notices in large A1 format would be beneficial at key foot traffic positions such as by the UWE library ground floor which remains a mostly unused space outside of open days and registration. Below the library E specifically the large tunnel area is a poor use of space considering the relatively small amount of circulation through it. a short cut past the block once the old engineering block is demolished to the bus depot would be very welcome. UWE library services are very good, teacher support equally the faculty are great but often difficult to get a hold of and roughly one module a year will be poorly run but otherwise its pretty well tuned. Additional guidance for Year two students for placement years would be appreciated by most of those I've spoken to.

Good opportunities of going abroad, not enough funding for non-British students and limited student support.

It has such a cool environment to study there lots of places that you can seat and study no distrubance and anything, you can totally use facilities which university provide for us and they working very good. Beautiful environment outside which makes mind refreshing and help to reduce anxiety people at university are very helpful and kind. Nice building with best Architectural design, nice washrooms, cafes, fresh water, clean environment yes they are the best parts. I had problem about making new friends when I was arriving here. Just please have an eyes about international students when they are new.
