Most of the course are taught in the class. However, there are also classes especially in Engineering related courses, some of the courses are divided into two section. One is seminar and another one is Workshop. Seminar is basically introducing and guiding the theoretical while workshop is to utilize the theoretical which are taught in the class so that students can visualize the outcome and fully understand the course that is being taught in the class. In some occasional cases, the classes are also being taught online when the tutor has some issue with personal cases. The worst part of being taught in the class which I have experienced is that in some of the classes, the tutor just read the slides without proper explanation which gives students abit disappointment.

The best part of my course is that it is accredited and I get to have a Test user qualification provided I pass but that is a great opportunity. A little bit worse aspect is that sometimes I would like to have more sessions and sometimes face issues with the examination methods

Best: some professors have experienced a lot of travel and it's very interesting hearing about their experience and thoughts Worst: sometimes courses are repeated as an exchange student that transferred into this university.

Like best: price, location and only 2 flatmates Worst part: overly expensive washing machine services that do a poor job at drying clothes (not value for money), heaters that turn off and never really fully warm up the room fully, a heat detector above the stove that is beeps unnecessarily and doesn't allow for effective cooking, an unofficial smoking area near the rooms used frequently by earthy smokers - the smell infiltrates the rooms - although no smoking is allowed on the premises.

swell

too expensive student loan doesn’t cover jt

Great content and interesting lectures, with brand new high quality facilities!

Great content

sometimes lecturers just read off a powerpoint and don’t fully explain. good that they are recorded

amazing value for money

Some lecturers are the best, they really know what they're doing and have a huge impact, others simple don't seem to care and it's really frustrating.

Amazing value for money, staff are super kind though can be a little awkward with room inspections. Had to call ambulance for me several times, 10/10, would recommend.

I've never met a tutor in my entire time here. My first one assigned turned out to not be working here anymore. I didn't receive much direct interaction from any tutors that I've had so therefore I have not used them.

Great social life here, police and uni security presence makes it a safe place. Part time work can often be limited to bar-staff jobs which can take over studying especially if you have a zero hour contract. But apart from that it's a fun location live and work.

Brilliant accommodation and great staff especially: Laura Good value and amenities however distance from uni can make it a drag to attend all in person compared to closer accommodations.

solid good course enjoying so far and lecturers are all brill

i live here anyway so love the city, always going to be expensive as a student and also i struggled to find a part time job - probably because i was avoiding pubs etc so as not to be walking home late along
