2 reviews for Cornwall College

The overall management of the Course was incredibly poor and very frustrating in both years. It was very disappointing that having expressed concerns via with someone from Plymouth University towards the end of the first year, they were not listened to and in fact the Second Year was horribly managed as we started the year 3 months late. This caused incredible amounts of stress as everyone on the course was part time and worked full time, with a years worth of assignments to complete between January 23 - July 23. The modules were great and I found them very enjoyable. The tutors were very helpful and assisted where they could considering the loss of time and course management issues. Losing our tutor for the Design Principles Module in the First Year was also disappointing as it was difficult for any of us to get any feedback on assignment work. I think however, that considering the limitations, everyone did very well, particularly my Second Year peers who graduated this time round. Improvements to the course structure, including communication prior to academic years starting, up to date assignments (many were years old and referenced old policy which is outdated, including multiple grammatical errors), would help to improve the experience of the course. I also often felt like the tutors were not supported enough, leading to the loss of a tutor in the First Year as an example.

Uni is in a great location and has contacts with an aquarium and zoo which is good for course and future career. Easy to get hold of tutors and lecturers. As it’s a small campus the student life is limited. There is not on site accommodation so we have to find our own.
