Sort:Latest reviewsMy lecturers have been mostly great, and the overall facilities are decent. The main issue I have is with location, however, that isn't the fault of the uni and instead the local area.
Fantastic location of the University as it is central and close to Manchester, Birmingham and other exciting places to engage with external studies and case studies.
The Student Union's societies are amazing, giving students the opportunity to meet new people without having to stray too far out of their comfort zone

The kit we have access to is amazing - in particular, the new Esports Arena - it adds so much to the course, developing the skills employers and offering opportunities to work on events. On occasion, feedback takes a while to become available and isn't always useful on how to improve.
Its local to me and they could improve it by make it look more aesthetic
The Staffs uni campus provides a solid environment for learning, with knowledgeable lecturers who are fantastic helps with both academic and technical issues. The esports hub stands out as a highlight, offering quality facilities for external events and furthering our own learning. However, some students find that certain modules feel unfocused or not entirely relevant to their career goals, which can be a drawback. Modules focused on things like "admin work" and "social issues" feel very unfocused when most people are here to learn technical broadcast knowledge
Really engaging and invested staff and lecturers as well as a massive level of freedom with the societies, extracurriculars and social areas. The adjustment period I’m going into Univeristy was made extremely streamlined and simple due to these factors. My primary suggestion for improvement is to make the campus feel more vibrant and alive on the outside - many of the areas between buildings feel empty and dull and could benefit from more colour and vibrancy to keep students feeling more relaxed and comfortable as opposed to the imposing, dull structures around the campus. Maybe even associating the buildings with different colours or schemes may make it easier for students to navigate through the campus as well, especially for newer students coming in next year.
I think as a whole the university is great and has everything I need to do my degree but if you want any sort of nightlife you have to walk half an hour and it’s out the way. The course is great and it has top of the line facilities with highly experienced lecturers in the esports area.
My dreams came true, and I am studying at one of the most powerful Universities in the UK! Industry-Relevant Courses and Facilities: Staffordshire University offers courses designed with input from leading industry partners, ensuring that students gain practical skills aligned with current market demands. The university boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a £30 million Science Centre and a £43 million Catalyst building, which provide students with access to professional-standard equipment and resources. • Emphasis on Employability: The university guarantees work-related experience opportunities for all full-time undergraduate students, enhancing their employability upon graduation. This commitment is reflected in their ranking among the top 10 for Career Prospects in the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2023. • Supportive Student Environment: The Students’ Union at Staffordshire University plays a pivotal role in offering guidance and support to students, addressing issues ranging from accommodation and mental health to financial and course-related concerns.
I am interested and enjoyed to studying in University . I feel, university has more facilities that includes Library, canteen, students union and student support etc. Even I got a problem which change the classroom for next subject from previous class room.That means , class room does not have the computer facilities and internet problems.So we couldn’t get more information from lecturers quickly. Sometimes laptops also will be frozen by internet problems.I feel only this problem otherwise University is the best in all improvements.
The Stafford campus is so nice clean friendly and by the woods, the location is nice.
The location is in a very convenient spot—in the middle of town and located adjacent to the train station. So far, my lecturers offer plenty of support in regards to the course as well as helping and being understanding with personal issues. Every department and facility has been properly explained and encouraged to get the most out of studying, as well as proving ample help with financial and personal issues. The overall atmosphere and aesthetic of the campus do not convey the impression of a large, prestigious institution. Instead, it feels relatively compact and lacks vibrancy. This is further impacted by its surroundings, as Stoke’s urban landscape lacks visual appeal and does little to enhance the university’s image. The entire city as well as some buildings within the university could do with an overhaul and some modernising, although that is a rather large ask! Another equally expensive but attracting suggestion would be to make a large monument or building that eclipses the local landscape; something of great beauty that symbolises the university's values and is a real eye-catcher. That would draw more people in and improve the feel of the university—the pinnacle of Stoke-on-Trent.
Great student support and lectures are very supportive !
The facilities are amazing and the lecturers are really helpful.
Think it’s pretty good, definitely a good university cannot complain.
Class size, locality of amenities
It's a decent university, one teacher I hate, but others are amazing.

I’ve made some life long friends and had the best time at university I don’t want to leave.
The marking system recently has gone down hill and one lecturer doesn’t seem to care that much and is putting a lot of pressure on the students and on the other lecturers
I wish everything wasn’t expensive and that students had discounts that were more accessible to them
