Best aspects are that everything is well maintained and in working order. Staff and assistance are always ready to help with any problems. I did however have no heating over the winter and the extraction fans suck.

Best Aspect: the course is great Worst Aspect: many of the computers have issues such as broken screens or software
It could be improved by having more lectures over the last 4 years I have noticed the lectures have more and more work to do and spending less time with us and helping with our development
The lecturers are very helpful within my course and help me get best grades. The facilities are perfect for my course and similar to the real setting for sports therapy. The student life could be improved as the clubs and things to do surrounding the area is not the best
Staffordshire University is the very best in the country
I really enjoy being at the university when I'm on leave from my work placement as part of my apprenticeship. The tutors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff clearly want to be there, believe in the power of education and want the best for their students.

Lectures are interesting and placement stressful
I can't really comment on student life and student union as i'm just there to get a degree. However, the people i've met and the academic mentors and lecturers have been good. The support is there when I ask for it. Certain educators are a lot more helpful and supportive than others but I guess you get that anywhere you go.
The uni is nice aesthetically and has some very cool facilities
The staff are very friendly and the overall cleanliness is very good

They’re supportive and help when things are getting difficult.
Great teaching staff, engaging lectures & choice of materials. Good facilities
workload management difficulty, and adjusting to new social life, making friends
The only improvement I would suggest is a better quality of toilet paper, the current choice is thin, painful to use and gives a constant anxiety that it will rip.

I am on a degree apprenticeship, I have a week placement a semester, when I do visit the campus for these placements I feel out of place and like an extra to the university. There is no standard practice from lecturer to lecturer on delivering webinars, with teams, email requests being used surely if you have distance learners there should be a standard procedure for efficiency.

I particularly love the various societies we can join. I take part in the life drawing and cosy club society and they both give me the opportunity to improve my skills, such as learning new techniques to drawing perspectives, and simply being able to communicate with new people with more confidence, considering I'm quite socially anxious. Regarding improvements, in my fine art course, we don't have easels, and I was quite disappointed as I thought we would've been provided them for free, considering it's an art course, however, we have to buy our own instead, so never mind. Another thing I'm concerned about is how open the university is - how easy it is for the public to enter the uni grounds and how students may be put in risk such as being approached by strangers. Above all, Staffordshire university is quite enjoyable in many ways and I'm looking forward to getting through these remaining years as a fine art student and graduate.
