Computer Science MSc

University rating (5)

Since the university is so centrally located, there are so many things to do within a 10-20 minute walk, whether it is going to the library, bank, parks, market, or the Quayside. The student support is great. There are a lot of resources available to get help from when you are facing difficulties with your academics or personal life. There is a ton of flexibility and alternative arrangements for assessments and exams. The Student Union is insanely active. Lots of activities organized every week, with a ton of promotion on social media, so you always know what's happening on and off campus.

Modern Languages, Translation and Interpreting BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The Languages Resource Centre is a lovely building to study in and there’s so many books just for language students as well as online opportunities to practice with native speakers. Most of my teachers are lovely and I find it easy to ask them for help or ask for extra feedback. There is a Student Staff Committee for feedback directly to staff and as an SSC member I find the meetings interesting and helpful.

Marine Biology BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Facilities are good but some buildings need improvement and are extremely confusing to navigate (signs aren’t great sometimes). Sports centre is AMAZING but the gym is small considering how many people use it and it’s a shame to pay £200 and have to wait ages to use equipment because it’s always busy. They have many events for students and everyone is friendly and happy to be here. Sports should be more accessible in terms of price and there should be more non-league sports (e.g. netball for fun not competing)

International Marketing MSc

University rating (3)

The transportation here is quite convenient, compared to other cities in UK. I know that there are only three cities including metro system in UK, so it means I am so lucky to study here. The most thing is cleanness of metro, not only in the metro carriage, but also I've seen a lot of litters spray on the tracks.

English Literature BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The university has an incredible campus that inspires students, as well as providing places to sit and chat in between lectures. The city is very walkable, making it easy and cheap to get around. I think the student support and student union emails alot but not everything is very useful, but that does depend on the sort of person you are.

Biology BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best aspect has been the module lay outs and syllabus . However, what could be improved is the social opportunities with people on your course, more opportunities to make friends on your course through events would be great as it has been very difficult for many.
