It’s a great environment
-filler modules -some tutors being not as good at giving feedback -some things not being organized properly But overall I've still been enjoying the course and my time at the uni
the bet part has to be the lifestyle of being in the city, and the worst part is commuting due to class times
It’s easy to be sociable in the open plan environment, however the societies need worked on
no parking
Wonderful place! Welcoming, with a lot of student support
It's an awful department. I constantly feel like there's no help from lectures as my circumstances are different to my peers and I don't feel they understand that. When asked by myself and my peers to change how they word things in mark schemes so as we could better understand the course they denied it and said it already made enough sense even though my whole class is confused by it. Very set in their own ways and don't take students opinion or new ideas to run the course into consideration! Also not much support from the uni in terms of how to use different facilities.
Really like the building and resources available. Could do with more activities for students ti di during the day
Great new campus but very poor disability support
The building has lovely food and coffee facilities. The staff are well knowledged in their specialties. The library staff are great. Student services definitely need more training. Lack of training for those with learning disabilities, lack of training for those who seek help with help with their future careers and lack of postgraduate support. Employers who come to the employability fairs are rude and disrespectful. The drink in the student bar is very cheap and great to be in. For future students, I would only attend this university for an undergraduate course if the course allows you to jump into a job example: nurses, engineers, healthcare jobs etc.

Coleraine is an inconvenient location for travelling to and from. Ugly tower beside front steps doesn’t fit in with the rest of the buildings. Campus Spar is a tad overpriced. SU bar could use more pool tables. Lecturers are very supportive and helpful. On-campus accommodation is well-maintained and is of a very good standard. Good sports centre and gym. Nice wooded nature trails, very open and green campus. Nice Student Union bar, affordable drinks.
there’s loads of student opportunities e.g jobs like campus ambassador, student ambassador, etc. wish there was a bit more greenery but that’s very difficult on a city centre campus
I love studying at my campus as there is so much to do and it is extremely accessible. As part of a Student Union myself, we are always striving to keep students busy and involved with societies, social events and work experience. However the only downfall of my University is that the campus is huge! And sometimes difficult to get around. But during my first year, our lecturers were very understanding about this and always gave us a bit of extra time to get to class. I definitely recommend studying at Ulster University. :)
Continuous assessment. Too many class tests doesn't allow for consolidation of knowledge. Not much interaction with 2nd and final year students. No assignments in first year yet biomeds do an assignment in first year. Near the beach in Portrush not that you will be skinny dipping due to course hours and workload.
I enjoy the campus and the city of Derry, however the facilities in Belfast are definitely better
Lecturers are engaging and easy to converse with

I feel very supported by Ulster, the only downside is its location, it’s a bit inconvenient for where I live.
The lecturers are very supportive when students ask questions or need help, the only downside is that when explaining a subject initially, they sometimes unintentionally complicate it
