This course has given me a wide-range of transferable skills, including but not limited to, legal and analytical skills, communication and advocacy, professional awareness and social awareness. Lecturers are passionate about what they teach, making the learning environment very inspiring.

The course is very big so very little contact time with tutors/lecturers. The content and quality of teaching is generally good.

The flat was shared with 11 other girl - shared kitchen and bathroom. Had it not been for the weekly cleaning service it would be unliveable.

best - has a big range of learning, we do all aspects of pharmacy, science and patient based learning, HEIW provide great placements in GP, community pharmacies and hospitals worst - there is a lot of self directed learning with not much support following up, it’s a very intense course with almost too much learning, it’s not very well organised - last year i was getting my timetable on a sunday night before lectures/workshops on the monday, although the HEIW placements are good, the university itself doesn’t provide any placements this year - which would better prepare us, there’s very mixed teaching - unsure if they’re teaching us IP things or not

Best: Lecturers and overall staff have all been brilliant. Loads of extra support provided ( such as help with statistics or software clinics). Worst: Main psychology building looks slightly rundown Very popular course thus interactions with lecturers tend to feel slightly impersonal

Liked most: -Main appeal of this accommodation I’d say is the social aspect, as it’s the most populous out of all of them. Very easy to meet people and socialize -Although location is not really convenient, as it’s slightly far from most of the university buildings, it certainly doesn’t lack in beauty. It’s located by bute park and the river taff, providing most rooms with a gorgeous views -Rooms were ensuite Liked least: -Silverfish infestation for which nothing was done about, in my knowledge -Rundown, mouldy spaces -Small rooms

The best bits are the content. The slides are very good. Some lectures feel pointless. Seminars are better education-wise.

I like that you get a lot of lab time and access to really good facilities, and the teachers have very in depth knowledge so you can always ask questions. I wish there were more contact hours for normal lectures, there are too many lectures where we have to watch recordings on our own and I struggle to pay attention to recordings and you can’t ask questions as easily.

Accommodation is good condition and nice with big kitchen to hang out in. Way too many people share the same laundry room meaning you sometimes have to queue to wash clothes, also they don’t function well and very expensive, even more so when you have to wash things multiple times because the machines aren’t cleaning clothes properly (Circuit laundry is terrible).

I like the fact that the lecturers are receptive to contacting students and don’t mind giving information and give a good balance of online/in person learning. However, I would say that the lessons could be more interactive.

Lots of contact hours, which is good.

Less exams more projects is all I can think would benefit the course.

Doors to building did not lock so there was a case of someone walking into the kitchen of a flat in the building from outside without a key card.

In-class teaching with in-person multiple-choice assessments except for OBOE which is online 24 hour exam for essays.

Super close to uni building so it has a great, convenient location. To improve, the street could be cleaner as there is sometimes rubbish and broken glass. But generally, it has a been nice place to live for the price.
