The teaching is great and my course is very interactive
I love Leeds Beckett city campus because it’s so modern and placed right next to the city centre. It’s in a great location. The facilities are all really nice from the cafes to the library.

The uni as a whole is good however there aren’t many lectures a week and the lectures are still online rather than in person. Only seminars are in person
The location and facilities are brilliant
Yeah it is great place to study . Very friendly environment my some of friends studying and they tell me very good place for study very good teachers, good facilities . The university is in the centre of the London where u get good transportation facilities.
the environment is great, teachers are mostly friendly and helpful making it a better place to study, to improve make sure all teachers have this quality, some are less willing to help you out and won’t give answers to your questions

best- the lecturers are amazing and really supportive worst- public transport isn’t that great, hyde park is a really scary area to walk through in the nighttime

It is really good place for somebody who would like to study sport courses. The facilities are really modern and easily available for everyone. It could be improved by having a senior lecturer watch the phd and other lecturers while delivering their lectures. I could see the difference when i was taught by a senior lecturer and a phd student. The senior lecturers were very open to sharing information out of the course and were very enthusiastic as well.

It’s a good place to study because of the various different spaces with different atmospheres.

My Uni experience compared to this year from last year was so different and more enjoyable as last year i was doing a course i was not happy in, i barely attended the campus and was stuck in my room listening to online lectures. The university made sure there were places to study independently, with friends or in a quiet area. There are many different locations and looks of this university so if you feel bored of one you can just relocate. Since i currently don’t have a laptop to work with i find myself looking for different places that has computer access where i can work which is very helpful. The university also reinforces and promotes proper recycling and hygiene by leave rolls of tissue and antibacterial spray all around campus as well as wipes we are able to take. This makes it more comfortable to work in. The only thing i can say for it to be improved is the the internet. Sometimes it doesn’t work, granted it’s a big area the connection wouldn’t be great but also any other internet such as 5g isn’t as compatible with the campus either.
General Facilities are good, the campuses are 20 minute walks from most student livng

I love being at Beckett. The location of it is great and i am on Headingley campus so its really close to city center but not in exact city center which for me works really well as its very spacious with so much green space around it - i walk through the park every morning to get to uni which is good for both physical and mental health to get that time outdoors in green space. City campus is really nice and also spread out through the city so you always get to see lots of leeds center when you are there. Access to both libraries is 24/7, 365 days a year which for me is really reassuring that i can be in the library whenever working or reading etc. It is such a great place to study because the support from teachers as well as all the teams we've got (finance, mental health, wellbeing, student living etc etc) The one thing i would like to see some improvement in is the service at the Student Union meeting spaces - specifically the Hive on Headingley campus. There was a time where i was meeting with a group in the Hive for 5pm for some drinks and a catch up on a Friday and it was shut!! I thought very odd given that it was meant to be open untill 8pm and it also said this on the website with no communication of the fact that is is closed or why it was closed. i emailed them and never got a response or apology back. But overall i love studying at beckett

I love studying at Beckett because I feel really supported by the staff, I never feel too stupid to ask a question. The things that could make university better would be maybe having a seminar where we collectively go to the library and get a tour or chance to explore it as I feel like both myself and other students haven't been and see it as an intimidating building because many of us have never used a university library before. Moreover I feel like the societies at Uni of Leeds are better and more well organised than the societies at beckett which is why I am enrolled in more societies over there. They also have club nights like fruity's which I think would be amazing at Beckett. I feel that Beckett is more friendly and welcoming but uni of Leeds has better societies and union.
This is a great university they take the happiness of their students seriously and are open to improving themselves when concerns arise. They offer many great opportunities and I couldn't have made a better decision

The uni itself is impressive but I don't feel I've been given the full experience it has to offer

I have enjoyed my first year however I have not had many hours nor had the chance to meet any of my friends on my course. I also have not had the chance to visit my university which make it not feel as real even though I am spending around £9,000 being here.

Experience has been very different due to coronavirus and adjustment to online learning. I have adapted to it but it has been quite difficult and my experience would be much better in campus and I feel learning is more effective in person.
honestly, 3/10. Would not reccomend wasting your money on coming to leeds beckett. so disorginised and staff unprepared to help students struggling with housing issues such as an abusive house mate.
I enjoy university because it is a lively place to be. The atmosphere created by the tutors and SU is friendly. My course is challenging and I learn a lot. I am part of a few clubs and societies which add to the experience.

Whilst living at home it can be hard to catch the bus and still not be late, because of the bus routes, there aren’t ones that stop by close to the university making me walk 10 mins to get to the university. I enjoy being at the university, as it gives me a professional and fun setting to be in.
I feel like whilst changing from a college setting and that kind of teaching technique, we didn’t get any help to be honest, which helped the 1st year students see the new style of teaching. Especially with assignment, very little to non help with explaining, or giving advice on how to approach an assessment.
