The people and staff
I got a massive frustration at times and I can’t find understanding and support not even at the Dean. I live in Crowborough, East Sussex. Every time when it’s a train strike and it’s affecting London tube we are accommodated to do classes online. But other times when only trains are not running and tube is running we have to come to the classes. We cannot be accommodated to join the class online. It’s not fair on me and other students from outside of London who basically are deprived of having access to lecture. The service from the campus doesn’t understand that if the trains are cancelled there is no replacement route put in place and there is no physical way to arrive to London. I am not driving. In first trimester I had a few classes motivated because of the train strikes but I wasn’t given opportunity to listen on Microsoft Teams the lecturer. In the end of the first trimester in generally they respond to me… it’s fine you can have one absence we won’t motivate this time. And again wasn’t up to me… was a train strike. I personally think this is a sort of discrimination, because I want to come to study but if the train is not running I cannot attend and they treat me like it’s my fault because I should do the arrangements to come to university. They don’t offer me a chance to study online, when train strike isn’t my choice. So I know I need to have presence on 70% but this mean I cannot miss any class because I need to keep in mind that it might be again a train strike and they will mark me absent. So the subject is very sensitive and makes me very anxious. It’s frustrating when I message campus team and they just don’t understand the situation. This needs to come to an end. I hope someone will hear my voice and will do something about it. Many thanks, Gabriela Grad
Excellent UWTD I study at sparkhill campus. I was nervous at first but the staff the campus the facility is so good very well support in place for students.
The Dynevor building is lovely and modern right in the center of town close to everything. The lecturers and the course are fantastic. I don’t really have a worst experience, maybe if the food was more canteen based than a Costa as it is quite expensive but other than that I have no complaints
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (Lampeter campus), is a great place to study. My experience so far is phenomenal not forgetting the support that I receive on a daily basis is above and beyond. It surprise me how lectures and other staff members treat you as their own, makes you feel like you're at home filled with love more than you can ask for. I love my University and I love my experience, there isn't anything I'll suggest that needs improvement.

After two years on Environmental engineering I’ve only had one module on the environment. I know next to nothing of the subject my course is supposedly for. Continually placed with other courses such as motorsport and taught about irrelevant subjects.
Great university
I think the uni itself is located in a bad place- Carmarthen is very run down and mostly old shops drugs and pubs. Uni itself I would love to have more of a modern feel however that is probably what you'll find in a city not a 200-year-old institution like this. I like the fact it got its old institutional buildings like the church building to take lecturers in. The lectures buildigs itself are alright they dont really have a uni feel. the lectururs i have had are brilliant bar one of them who i think doesnt want to work there anymore. They never reply to my emails, i have had rubbish marks from this.

Greatly appreciated the education upgrade this institution offer to its students to be better prepare in life and to learn to take more appropriate decisions and to have a professional approach.
All in all an excellent place to study, wide range of courses, music is the best part (WAVDA BMus), plus the Skills for the Workplace course which I plan to sign up for after I finish my current BMus degree so that I can get my Work Visa. The staff are excellent at supporting me, correcting me when I'm wrong, and saving me when I end up in any fix. What could be improved is the student life - we students are all so busy that we don't have time to mix with one another outside of class time. There is also a heavy drinking culture here ("walking in the air") which I am not used to as I don't drink or smoke, I think consumption of alcohol and smoking should be completely banned on campus.

In my opinion, the university is great, good facilities, always clean. The point to improve is to make the application a little easier to access, from what I see some older colleagues have difficulty.
The university is at a great level. The rooms are clean cozy
It has been great studying at UWTSD as the university is like a community. Lecturers know you by your name, not your student ID number. The course has allowed me to learn through the practical and theoretical side. The support here is excellent and is mentioned at every lecture.
The facilities on campus are easily accessible and gain a lot of support from lecturers regarding struggles with university work

Engagement outside of lectures is very limited and especially for lesser able students and older students. Academically the management is very poor and chaotic in terms of lectures and lecturers.
This university provided higher education since last 200 year, it is third oldest university after Oxford and Cambridge. It has been ranked 7 according to Guardian table 2022. The employment rate is 97%.

The best for me is the location very easy in this case I got the bus 59 in Easton, is perfect. The worst the printer very congested soon above all. It would be nice if all the classrooms were in the same building. Anyway it is right
Best aspect is the actual course I’m taking, worst aspect is that the SU is so empty constantly
