Lovely campus, academically is very high quality but residential life don’t really do anything - someone broke into my flat in halls due to the door being broken (it had been reported) and res life did nothing
Nothing ! I love the University
I'm presently enjoying my time at the university. The academic setting is top-notch, boasting outstanding facilities and a commendable approach to blended learning. The support available for students is truly noteworthy. The majority, 99%, of the teachers are exceptional, although there's one instance where a teacher doesn't review slides in advance. However, my experience with the photography society is disappointing. Despite my enrollment, I haven't received any contact from them, and my attempts to reach out have been futile. Overall, I have a strong affection for the university and would wholeheartedly recommend it to prospective students.
One of the standout features of my university experience is the rich and diverse curriculum that has not only deepened my understanding of my major but has also allowed me to explore various interdisciplinary subjects. The university's commitment to fostering a sense of community is another highlight. Through a vibrant array of student clubs, extracurricular activities, and campus events, I've had the opportunity to engage with peers who share similar passions and interests. This sense of belonging has not only enriched my social life but has also positively impacted my overall well-being. Improvements in the communication between different departments and administrative offices would streamline various processes for students- especially troubles with eye centre and SFE and sorting out problems that students struggle to do online (sometimes you get transfered to different departments and everybody is sending you somewhere else). Also, a more transparent and efficient feedback system could enhance the student-teacher relationship and aid in continuous improvement (especially when it comes to feedback on grades).
its a friendly place where you feel like home. its not that expensive so anyone can afford it. it has a really good location, just 1 hour far from london. i wouldnt change it with any other university, if i would get a second chance.

The campus is modern, clean, and well equipped. The learning hub being 24/7 is helpful to ensure access to facilities, perhaps if there is an assignment due. The library team are great, and the use of the inter library loans service means we can access texts that UON might not currently have. The weekly events ran on campus are also AMAZING. Some of the catering facilities are a tad expensive, though there are other places on campus which tend to be a bit cheaper.
Good
Enjoyable
The lecturers and uni staff are all lovely and approachable, possibly more reminders via emails for certain events and activities that are on plus any support on offer.

Good uni


The campus is really nice and welcoming especially since its new so its very modern. The lifts are quite slow sometimes so that could be improved.
I do not like the online classes since it is hard to concentrate. The 3 hour lectures are a bit long so that could be split up into separate lectures.
Everything was good in there.
