Haven’t been to uni this year

We had quite a lot of contact hours called ( virtual contact hours) for each module. 1 to 1 or group calls.

No

Covid has affected our lectures so much being 95% online. This limited us to meeting our peers and to use the facilities. Overall I haven't gained much I haven't already done during my BA sadly

Can't really access as much due to covid

No

Employability team within the Computing department are great, with regular sessions aimed at 2nd and 3rd year students

The lectures were good, videos posted due to covid teaching weren't as high quality as they maybe could've been but we're a good substitute for in person lectures. Lab "virtual contact" was terrifying for me but was a good idea for many others

I wouldn't really know, I was only ever on campus three times in the entire academic year and used the same two rooms (both lecture theatres) on all occasions

Personal tutoring sessions were helpful although rare and seemingly not scheduled until I indicated I was struggling

No

Yes

Often informing us on opportunities available now in many forms as well as future job prospects preparation. Always encouraging the use of their great cv writing and interview prep careers services.

I think online teaching has had its ups and downs in terms of accessing content and when eg. Lectures are uploaded or what resources are made available. It has although been easy and helpful to have the same support from lecturers and seminar teachers through email, 1-to-1 chats etc.

It’s relatively easy to access services but the variety is not up to standards in places.

Always keeping us informed on support services available and sending out their support especially during lockdown periods recently.

No

They do send out jobs related to your field via email. No complaints so far.

Teachers are very helpful and will explain things in a kind and polite way. Lectures are not recorded which is disappointing. During coronavirus many students had to get their work remarked due to incorrect marking.

Think giving 3 stars is a bit generous. During the Coronavirus pandemic we have not receive any financial or emotional support. None of the teachers or assistants emailed us to see if we were fine and in terms of financial support there was none. Other unis such as LSBU, MDX have been providing hardship funding to their students but Goldsmiths didn't give a dime to their students during this pandemic. During early 2020 the university has been going on many protests and strikes which resulted in lecturers taking days off and students getting less help. Learn.gold and mygoldsmiths is sometimes down and students cannot login. SOOO MANY PROBELMS. Currently, the lockdown has eased and the uni should be open (following the social distancing guidelines) if students need help during an emergency situation but Goldsmiths is still providing support to students by just only email. Many problems with this uni and I think they don't have enough money to provide support/resources. Many negative articles online about this uni. I do like the uni since it is small and has a community feeling but they need to fix up!

Decent. Has a few Macs in the library and cycle parking. However, the design of the uni is a bit poor. Doesn't have a lot of open space. They should make a seperate hall just for societies.

New Cross gets a lot of bad rep but never had any issues long as your near to a large crowd and don't wonder off by yourself you'll be good.

Does have societies but i just think not a lot of people have time for them due to focusing on their course.

None.

The lecturers are so Unhelpful, from my three years I can name three tutors who were helpful. The uni is constantly going on strick. It was annoying during years 1 and 2 however, just before kickdown uni was on strike for a few weeks, when we got back we were on lock down so you can imagine the little amount of support we recived.

Support offered by uni is non existent. I'm so glad there are a few tutors. Most of the other tutors are too good for people like us. In my first year, my friend and I were treated differently to how the white people were treated but one of our tutors. One of the tutors told us that our religion was based of culture (in a matter of fact way). Unis constantly on on strike and gives no support. During lock down we've received no help. And we're in our final year. Not sure how I'm going to get a degree.

Great careers department, they will help you out as much as they can. My course offers two modules for work placements.

My lecturers and tutors are super friendly and they seem to care about us, personally have had a great experience
