The best is the how many chances we are given to work with upperclassmen, the worst is how much wasted potential the classes have.
Best experience was making a fictional film. Worst experience people not cooperating when we're working in a group.
My favourite part of uni is the people I have met who are equally passionate about my course. My worst experience has been managing time & work load, and occasional miscommunication with peers in group work.
It's a good university
I love the course and the opportunities it’s given me although the university shouts about students having a say but across the past year or so a lot of decisions have been made without our input. I also don’t understand how the university has the budget to hand out brownies to all students but not to put into the facilities needed. I will say the Lecturers are amazing and do push us to be the best we can be.
I like the zen bar
The equipment that is available to us is in very good condition and is very useful. However the seminars can be fairly confusing at times and I would appreciate more seminars to further the knowledge of that subject.
Great student life!
I get to rent out high quality equipment and the staff are nice
Its a great location with great facilities
My experience at the University of South Wales has been generally positive. I really enjoyed the diversity on campus and the supportive atmosphere from most lecturers, especially those who took the time to guide us through our projects and help us develop our skills. The facilities for fashion design are good, and I appreciated having access to workshops, equipment, and studio spaces. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. Communication between staff and students can sometimes be slow or unclear, especially regarding deadlines, timetable changes, or important updates. Student support services could also be more consistent and easier to reach. Additionally, the Students’ Union could be more active in organising events and creating a stronger sense of community for students. Overall, it has been a valuable experience, but with a few improvements, it could be even better.
Its a great uni
The fashion design department has been gutted over the summer and the curriculum was changed from what I signed up from
The location is great. Right in centre of town There could be more student activities and clubs and societies in the city and not just in treforest and Newport
I love the campus and my course, we have a lot of good equipment and support, I haven't engaged much with the student union though so I feel like they could have more focus
Great social live and close to centre. No equal support for students on the course
Best: Good social aspects in the uni and the location Worst: Lack of equal support for all students
Could be improved by more stuff going on in the student union
