1 University College of Osteopathy review

There are no facilities to talk of expect the student union and library. They changed the layout of the library to this progressive open plan situation and have allowed students to talk which defeats the point of study. The librarians are absolutely incredible (some of the best staff at the university).

Shocking counsellor who’s head is in the clouds half the time. The university doesn’t nt care about you at all please don’t be in disillusion. They have never gone out of their way to protect vulnerable students. They have on multiple times protected bully tutors from a range of student complaints. They threaten to remove you and warp their ‘policies’ to suit their needs at the time and its absolutely appalling. A lot of clinic tutors sit on their asses and do absolutely nothing. My team had 3 tutorials in the entirety of my 4th year. YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THE UCO AS A COMPETENT HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER. This is not the university to go to if you want to be a clinician. Their lectures are absolutely crap and dated.

Only a student union by name. Absolutely zero funding or attention by the dean and higher faculty. They are grossly under trained compared to larger universities and essentially do everything themselves without support from the university.

The location is as good as it gets. You are in the very heart of London with plenty of eateries and public transport.

There weren’t any societies when i started but before leaving there were a handful. Some of the lads would play football once a week and a few other people made a climbing society. Generally due to the size of the university people do things with their friendship groups.

Absolute joke. The number of staff which left during the course, incomplete modules and lectures. Marking takes months on end. Poor feedback. Dated lecture material. Half baked modules. A lot of pseudoscience. ‘Fake intellectuals’ in the faculty who pretend to be qualified doctors and its dangerous. Seriously please please go to a better university its not worth the debt. The head office staff and course leaders are so painfully incompetent and they are always playing catch up or cover up. They are also lack any diversity. You wont find any people of colour in positions of importance.

Absolutely S**** 1 lecture at the end of the 4th year about how to find a job and that was half baked. Its basically up to you to find your own job or suck up to tutors who are looking to employ the brightest students.
