Sort:Latest reviewsThe facilities are great especially the 24 hour labs in cadmen. And the support session before deadline. Some assignment briefs have been slightly unclear. A bit more detail and clear requirements would be useful.
Best aspects: Freedom. Studying something I enjoy. Learning about all the random and relevant information lecturers give. Worst Aspects: Assignments can be stressful.
University doesn’t feel like university it feels like home all of the lecturers are so compassionate and supportive in everything that you do, the campus is a beautiful small building and everyone there is like a family. In my cohort there’s always been a family feel and it’s like you’ve known each other for years and years. I have had quite a few different obstacles and hiccups in the road so far but I keep pushing through and remember why I started and who I’m doing it for (my nan). So, I’m so glad I chose Staffordshire University because I think if I was anywhere else doing such a challenging and hard working course it wouldn’t have felt as rewarding as it does at Staffs. Thank you to everyone for all your constant support and encouragement it truly means the world to me. There’s nothing at all that I would change or do differently.
The catalyst building is my favourite place to study, it’s new and modern and keeps me focused. However the other buildings on campus are old and run down. Making the university a more comfortable place to study.
The lectures on my course are fab always happy to help and support.
The university cares a lot about the students and their academic development. I am able to access a multitude of assistance services which have helped me a whole lot ever since coming here.
The facilities are modern and well equipped. The halls are fine, but are somewhat of a distance away from one of the campuses.
I have loved my course so far, most lectures are quick to reply, quick to help and quick on getting feedback to us as soon as possible. One of the only problems I have at Staffordshire University is parking. I have to get here almost an hour before my lecture to ensure I have a space and have enough time to walk to the other campus. The study spaces in the catalyst are the nicest I’ve seen, makes it so easy to stay at the uni and study after my lectures.
The University of Staffordshire is a great place to study esports, however, the wider university is disorganised and ineffective. You really have to believe in the staff for your specific course for studying here to be worth it.
I think the facilities offered at the university of staffordshire are spectacular and allow students to partake in their coursework with ease. I have found it hard to find people here with similar interests however there are lots of societies and there are student events pretty regularly.
The welcoming environment of staffs is very pleasing. The facilities provided are up to date.
Best aspects about the uni is the teaching and the quietness around campus is a good environment to study in.
The best and worst part of my uni experience have been the people, they have made un i so much better and certain parts of uni worse depending on the people.
Feel very at home and have made amazing friends.
The University is welcoming, friendly, easy to access has great access to train and local amenities, the campus has a vibriant ambience with great facilities and reasonable fees. The university takes students well being very seriously and caters for all students needs. The approach the university takes particularly on my course is fabulous, the lectures are engaging, supportive and fully informative throughout the course.
Sometimes the responses from lecturers to help with progression of work can be very slow.
Module leads and lecturers are supportive and always open to enquiries. As a mature student it's been a while since I left school and I do struggle academically, this is where I worry I won't graduate because of my grades.
The staff are very supportive and the uni has a great facility. Nothing really bad about about Staffordshire university.
The course itself is great, but the campus could be more welcoming.

There is a good amount of university activities on the Stoke campus with lots of events and chances to try new things. A downside however is since the removal of university managed accommodation in the Stafford area, meaning if one lives in the Stoke managed accommodation there is a significant travel time and increased carbon footprint. Outside of the campus, stoke can be a dangerous place in areas and has allot of poverty and deprived areas.
As a nursing student studying at the Stafford campus, it has great facilities and lecturing staff, they are very supportive and the support staff are excellent too. We currently have a blended learning approach however a majority of lessons are taught in person. There is ample opportunity to meet with lecturing staff and regular appointments with ones dedicated mentor.
There is not much to 'love' about Stoke-on-Trent, the main university campus has okay links to transport with the train station and some bus routes, but as a whole there are many areas not covered. It is overall not a very safe place to live, there are often very scary individuals around at night and there have been multiple attacks on students in the near by Hanley park.
The halls are very old and unfortunately passed their best, they have been polished for far too long and are no longer structurally or visually appealing or fit for purpose. There is currently a new student village being constructed so views on the current accommodation should not be considered long term. Some of the facilities are good, the kitchen is well fitted however can sometimes be undersized for the amount of tenants. Following on from a mass redundancy situation all of the permeant ResLife staff have been replaced with temporary staff who do not know what they are doing, a huge oversite by the university who clearly did not realise the scope of responsibility and duty these persons had.
