Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Best aspects of uni: hands down the staff. Constantly striving to make sure modules not only contain a wealth of information, but are also delivered in an accessible, often engaging way. Lecturers really care about you and want you to succeed. The course is comprehensive and I feel like has equipped me to be able to start planning next steps in my career and enter the workforce. The lecturers also really care about the topics they're teaching and are very knowledgeable -- their passion is palpable. There's also amazing staff at Student Support and Learning Development, for those of us who need some extra help.
The university provides for a wide range of students with courses and possible alterations.
The course is taught by amazing lecturers, who are kind and always there to help, however the course is not managed by the best people, and this leads to a lot of poor choices done regarding the course such as the contest which is being taught (with actual lectures, having no say in it) or for example the number of students/ level of students that are in the class. Currently the head of business has decided to add a whole class (+30) of foundation students with year 1 students (level 4) at the start of January without any warning before . This has negatively impacted level 1 students, as the content being shared is not the best, neither are the paste of lectures as the foundation student take too long to complete simple activities that year 1 students complete in minutes. Although year 1 students have expressed their feelings about this to lecturers and the head of business, the head of business refuses to split the class in 2, with excuses that there are not enough free classrooms, which is not true. Further, sad to say this, but my amazing lecturers now seem worried to bring issues up to the heads of business as they could get in trouble or fired. Very unethical and unprofessional. Will be changing universities next year
Newman have a small supportive community who focus on employability after graduation their student union is nothing but helpful. its location its self is amazing by being in birmingham you get all the perks of the second city but without the hustle and bustle of being in the city centre. They are so inclusive and the student union represent this so well. and their student support services are amazing for a university on what they offer.
I have not experience any negative as teachers make u feel welcome and you do a lot of group activities at first I did not like it because I don't know anyone but group activities let you get to know your class mates better and eventually you become more relax with each other.
The staff at the uni are very supportive. The uni environment if very pleasant, surrounded by a lot of nature and even a reservoir near campus. Sometimes I even forget its in Birmingham. The support is very nice, and even the course as well is set up in a way that I can works well for my learning. Although we do not have a very wide range of societies, like craft society for example. I would have liked to join that if the uni had it. But they have started the study abroad placements recently, and I'm really excited to start that this year! Overall, lovely uni.
Newman is a great place to study due to the facilities that we have access to. The library is amazing for a place to study and also allows us to maximise our learning potential due to the resources we have available. All of the staff have been nothing but excellent with supporting me, specifically my academic personal tutor; I find it really helpful to have an appointed person who I can go to for academic and student support.
Newman University is an amazing place to study. The staff are friendly and approachable. The library is well stocked, and the staff are supportive and helpful. I cannot fault anything at Newman.mThe course content is varied and interesting.
Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
Plenty of help and support from all staff. Plenty of learning spaces and self study rooms that cater for everyone’s needs.
Pointblank has been playing a major role in my development as an artist, and engineer. It literally took my skills to an advanced level, and provided me with what I need to advance...
It's really great having a community with artistic people. Even though, the tutors encourage us to work with other courses, I just wish that cross-curricular work was more facili...
