I like the structure of the timetable but I don’t like how it’s on a hill
amazing
Supportive and good uni
Good course,friendly,helpful and supportive lecturers, great campus. Food prices could be better subsidised.
Such a pretty campus and city, the unis small so classes are small and the engagement with lecturers is reliable. Student support have been there anytime I need over the last 3 years, the facilities in campus and the accommodation is also good. If you are used to a big night life in a city, this might not be the place for you unless you would be happy to travel outside of Winchester but there is a nightclub and plenty of pubs across town.
Theres not alot if support for disabled students with non physical disabilities
The experience gained through my degree is invaluable the opportunity to work with 16 – 18-year-old athletes delivering workshops on sport psychology skills gave an insight to apply the knowledge learnt from the Psychological Skills module to talented athletes. The one-to-one attention provided by all lecturers is second to none, always willing to make time for the students and support you through not only your university life but also personal life. This support network was also further expanded across the year groups, created through the staff putting on socials (Summer sports games, Christmas meal and quiz, Pizza night) open for all year groups on the course to attend which has been a fantastic way to build relationships and share experiences with other students in the up-and-coming years. In addition, the lecturers are always keen to hear feedback from students to keep the course, modules, assessment types, tasks and opportunities provided etc up to date to cater for and meet all the needs of the students. I can’t fault the experience I received during my three years of study here at the University of Winchester and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to study for a degree in Sport psychology.

The study areas on Campus are extremely varied and so suits everyone. The campus and city are gorgeous. The lecturers are passionate about their work and (on my course in particular) make an effort to engage with students and get feedback. Student support could be more present and easier to remain in communication with - I understand they’re busy however they are currently making promises they cannot fulfill.

The place is nice and safe considering that it's almost exclusively dedicated to students, there is a lot going on each week and if you are part of a society and want to have fun it's the right place. The accomodation are nice although they do have problems (especially this year) but maintenance is very quick to solve the issues. I know that the disability team is not the best so that's something they should work but the career service works wonderfully, they are super helpful and nice and we also have graduate support in which you can meet with people working in your desirable field to help you out with finding a job. Definitely needs some work for the student shops on campus because they are very expensive, on the flip side, 30 minutes of walk in a beautiful scenery are not too bad (not thanks to the uni, just luck). Winchester it self is very pretty and would recommend. Good are also all the networking possibilities that we get, I got so many advice and connected with many professional that helped me find a job for when I finish very quickly, it also helps that all our lecturers are professionals in their field (forensics) and therefore they can talk about their experience and how to make it into this world.

Winchester is a lovely small university which means you get to know everyone really quickly which is nice. There’s loads of good societies to join both sporty and social and the SU puts on loads of good events.The location is good too as it’s a 10 minute walk from town and 15 minute walk to the train station.

Really lovely campus, super friendly people and friendly staff. The SU should hold more events as there’s not really any clubs (apart from Vodka) and going to Southampton for a night out can be expensive for some. Student Services wait times can be a while as always busy.
Very friendly staff and there's always someone about to help. Not had a problem with lecturers and lectures.

Beautiful surroundings, and I really enjoy the course. We sometimes have guest lecturers in from the actual professions we want to go into. Maybe improve the security at the university (especially at the SU nights out, spiking occurs but is denied by the security)
Transport is bad. Student mental health services are lacking/not helpful Everything else is great though

As a mature and commuting student, I don’t spend a lot of time on the campus. However, even the few hours I’m here I have found such a lovely community spirit and a great group of friends. The lectures are incredible and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.


Good
