Human Geography & Planning BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

The city centre campus lacks the feel of being at university which other campus universities have, such as University of Leeds up the road. The students' union is not ingrained into the experience of being a student here like what can be observed in other places. It took a long time to feel settled in here as there are limited events, activities and opportunities for spontaneous social occasions. This is not limited to a slightly disappointing building and facilities that people don't spend their day hanging around within (bar, cafes, study spaces). Chances of bumping into people I know are slim and each school and its building function very separately form each other with very little effort to bring together students from different courses and schools. The library is a very useful place to spend my time around the clock with all the facilities I need to get work done, but some cosier, remodeled study spaces and a later opening coffee shop/machine would be a recommendation. Financial issues are a problem in every university these days, and this has been a massive contribution to my loss of motivation and negative experience especially towards third year. Some help is available but initiatives for helping people to save money are few.

Adult Nursing BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

I am an adult student and has dyslexia. I found that LeedsBeckett University is very supportive and helpful. I have arrange for me to have Reasonable Adjustments and special tool to help me learn and prepare for my lectures , assignments and exams. This really made me feel happy knowing that I am involved with my own learning with the support of the university. They even give free wellbeing checkups/ therapy sessions which is a great help when you are in crisis. I really felted valued and all my other peers are really enjoying their course through Leed Beckett University.

There’s lots of places to study independently such as the library and other quiet areas around the university. There’s lots of support for student wellbeing

Fashion Marketing BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Friendly environment easy to find way around and the my Beckett website helps with catching up on work and doing extra private study, communication through the uni could be more sufficient and some of the work being marked has taken a few months and still not had it back

Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

It is a great place to study as it is a sport campus so it is always busy, and full of people who try to stay fit and healthy. The lecturers are all extremely knowledgeable and offer as much help as they can and show that they really care about the students.

Sports and Exercise Nutrition

University rating (5)

The Headingley Campus at Leeds Beckett is an incredibly welcoming and inviting place that has a large range of sports facilities and clubs all available for use and students are encouraged to partake in any activities they so wish. Although it can get cold up north, there is nothing better than seeing your friends in the gym or around campus or even your lecturers and having a catch up with them about how your course is going and if you need any help.

Law LLB (Hons)

University rating (4)

I don’t make full use of all student support, union and facilities so can not really judge. However I’ve heard many great things about them. The location is good, accessible by walking and driving.

Sociology and Criminology BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Activities for students during the academic semester could be better. The heating in the library could be a bit higher as it’s super cold in there. Nevertheless, it’s a great place to study. Most instructors are eager to teach and help.
