Best thing I like their environment and worst their facilities not good
Friendly atmosphere! But needs better organization with the induction days!
In my opinion, I feel like this University meets all the needs for a student, and I don’t feel like there’s anything to be improved
This institution offers you the opportunity to excel in your chosen field with extraordinarily trained teachers.
It's mostly a good place to study but there is not enough support during placements. Some lecturers vary in quality. Some are really good but there are a few that are terrible.
Good Uni, live on Lampeter Campus, Beautiful place. Lack of exams are great. If you're looking for a lively party university probably not for you, at least in Lampeter.
Amazing scenery and staff are so friendly and happy to help.
Lecturers are always helpful and easy to contact if I had any issues or queries. The university has offered many opportunities for trips and experiences outside the university to develop on knowledge for our particular course.
The lecture is so good and presented the material very understandable. I think for improving will be more better for students to have more practical work then lectures at specially for computing courses! I am so happy to be part of this course!
It's exactly what it needs to be, at least personally - a professional workplace that approaches teaching both logically and theoretically, while still leaving room for some fun. Lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, leaving time to both give lecture content, as well as provide one-to-one or group assistance if need be. To this end, whilst help is always available, part of me wishes this were advertised a bit more, outside of just a mention at the start of the year or during a module/course introduction. Otherwise, everything is perfect. Facilities are lovely and technology is up to date, if maybe a little slow to start, needing upwards of 15 minutes for certain programs. I recognise this is because every system is loaded with multiple high-load/intensity programs, presumably needing time to load each on startup/login, as well as time to connect to the university network. So while this issue is somewhat unavoidable without (fairly costly) upgrades to RAM, it means students who wish to bypass this long startup process will need their own PC systems - a laptop in many cases. Otherwise, the uni building is comfortable, providing both public work spaces and more private booths, including a small cafe area for coffee and refreshment provisions throughout the day. I really quite like my uni, and I look forward to the years of study to come!
University of Wales is a fantastic university in Wales however the London campus is not as efficient. 90% of the students in a class are from the same country and lecturers tend to grade students based on the overall performance of the class. Lecturers rarely reply to emails or give structured feedback on assignments, or when they do, the final grade still remains lower than expected despite the hard work put into it. You may experience students obviously struggling with the material taught and the English language getting higher grades than others who do not.
Lecturers are incompetent and some even study their module in class while we wait so they can read what's on the presentation slides.
As for now, my university experience is wonderful, everybody is helpful you can find the right answers you want, the lecturers are professional and great teachers.
Pros - Good building with good facilities, such as, library, labs, cafe. Always clean and tidy across campus. Cons - Support from certain members of staff are lacking - response to complaints and issues are insufficient.
I'm currently studying at the Humanities Campus at Lampeter and I would say the best thing would be the professors, they are all really helpful and approachable. Another great thing about this Uni is the services on the Careers office, all staff is really helpful and kind and they helped me a lot. The bad things about this Uni comes from the administration, there's no investment when it comes to the Humanities campus such as the exclusion of one of their biggest programs "Medieval studies", the Uni's administration doesn't seem to care for the students and the staff of this campus and I'm only enjoying my time here due to the professors if it weren't for that I'd have had a terrible time since there's no real choice of modules for the students and the administration does not help with that not caring about the students complains which caused the campus to lose a lot of students.
I am an online student, so I don't know much about the campus
Teachers are quite supportive. IT staff is polite and always happy to help.
The student union doesn’t hold many events and because it’s such a small campus the events are always really quiet but they made an effort to arrange some events at a popular club in town when our union was closed for refurbishment. The campus is really cute and homey, on-site staff are so supportive and helpful. The course staff are very accommodating, placement is a big part of my course and they have been very accommodating to those who don’t have access to a car.


The communication with peers and staff at the uni is beautiful because they listen and support.
I think the worst part is getting a job
