Good classes in an old campus which is far from Belfast Facilities could be better and more outgoing student union
18-24 years
I study physiotherapy and therefore requires a lot of practical rooms and sporting facilities and my university provides state of the art equipment and facilities. As well as course specific advantages, the university has an incredible “mall” with cafes and shops and a large library with incredible staff. The only disadvantage of the university is the location, but that is purely because I live a fair bit away.
The campus is nice with the staff being friendly and supportive. Courses are slowly migrating to a new building which better supports learning and gives a new and healthy atmosphere to work in.
Everything seems so slow - marking the papers/ coursework usually takes longer than promised and any decision that needs to be made is so slow - QUB knew their timetable 2 weeks in advance this year, while we are going back in 3 working days and still nothing. Disgraceful.
This year has been tough, no doubt and my University has pulled through the desperate times such as writing to the education ministers to give out £500 to all students as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, keeping students informed about events and situations inside and outside of university life. Engaging students virtually is a big challenge but I feel that the University have done really well to be active and support students by using virtual platforms to deliver course material/contents, social media updates happening in and around the University and teaming up with the local attractions in my country such as showing virtual tours or sessions with guest speakers.

It’s a really good environment for study and I feel like I’m getting the time and place to really discover myself and my interests. However, I do feel that coming out of student life within the covid pandemic that that the area around or students understanding and wellbeing is ignored slightly. I do think it should have been more understood that our levels and capabilities of working from home and living a sheltered life for so long would have huge impacts on the way we take in information as well as distribute content. I feel like the uni experience is the best place for me at the moment and my confidence has been growing slowly over the months. My tutors are very helpful and I feel comfortable in my class but I have struggled a lot with getting back into the education and a learning environment and feel misunderstood when I demonstrate a motivation slack or just find it hard in general to take on content due to the mental impact lockdown etc has had. I feel welcomed to the uni and feel very in my place in my class from the beginning with my tutors even though I start from 2nd year. I have made friendships and bonded with those in my class which is an amazing experience all on it’s own. I just hope that come my final year I can feel more understood in the moments where the past setbacks are taken into consideration in terms of the amount of workload I can produce.
My course currently takes place 2 days a week and one day is extremely long. It’s filled with mostly content and the tutor really does try to break the day up with fun activities but it doesn’t help with the amount of information we’re pushed through the day. Me and the majority of my classmates are mentally drained after that class. However the class is filled with a lot of beneficial content and is delivered well with the circumstances given. My tutors have tried their best with the time they have to break the days up with activities and team work tasks
