The staff are invested in their subject matter and their students. Their expertise is second to none and they ensure that they have guest speakers come in and speak to the students. The welfare of students is always important to the staff and I have had so much support from them being a disabled student. The course content is practical as well as academic particularly for the offender management arm of the degree. I couldn’t fault the staff for their support and understanding of their work, you can see how much they care about their own work and the effort they make to ensure they pass their knowledge on,

My best uni experience is meeting new people, the course and the student support the uni gives. The campus is much smaller than any other uni in the uk, but it is one of the top places at the moment to study. Staffs is still improving a lot, even the area around it (Stoke). The uni itself is good, however the only downside to it is the city tjhat it's in. There isn't really much to do while on campus, or even off campus because of the areas in Stoke, a plus side to it is the train station being a 2 minute walk from campus.
Overall it's a good uni; it has all the facilities and support as any good place of learning. The only thing I didn't like was the timetable in the first semester, we will see how they manage it in the next semester
So far the teaching has been superb, with plenty of support available. The content is delivered clearly and concisely. I honestly could not be happier with where I am
Blackheath Lane Campus is very modern. It has amazing facilities and clinical practice rooms with incredible support from the lecturers. The cafe and canteen serve lovely food and drinks, with something new and interesting always on the menu.
Some good facilities but also some very dated facilities.
I have had a good time so far its just the location currently for me is in a tight spot as trains are delayed alot
Best: 24/7 access to high end computers so you can do work whenever. Worst: Take forever to update timetables for new semesters and years
Catered to all aspects of student life who joins the Uni.
Lots of student opportunities and great nightlife!
The lecture’s are amazing, go into depth detail and learn you a lot. There is plenty on and around the uni to do - entertainment, food etc… the days you are in uni are clear on your timetable, the support from teachers is great, if you need anything or not feeling your self there is plenty of support! They put there all into it. So many amazing things about this uni. The only thing that could be improved is another car park!

best aspect is the services from the school, the support and the means of teaching method and the facilities and my worst aspect is not finding enough space to park my car or have to pay alot to park my car around school vicinity
lovely campus and facilities, area lets it down a little as Stoke can be a bit dodgy but lots of campus security and security measures and education. lecturers are nice and understanding, lots of contact hours and a good balance of work and time off.
The catalyst is by far the best building to study at, as it has so many places like booths, simple chairs with nearby sockets, computer areas and gender neutral toilets in the study lounge. I’ve never had an issue with any facilities in there and it is always quiet and so motivating. It is also open 24/7 which i find great as when i get motivation at the worst times like a saturday i can go in and do some work and its usually empty! Furthermore, the student support is great; ive had a couple of meetings via teams with them and they helped me so much!
Honestly I have no complaints. The staff has been amazing and the lesson are truly thought out and helpful even if we miss a lesson due to illness the lessons notes are easy to follow so we don't fall behind

Everyone who works there is amazing. The technicians are friendly and very helpful, and my tutors are so nice and teach me so much. The student union is really aware of current events affecting us and tries to help us with cost of living support, how to budget, and things like free sanitary towels at uni which is really nice.
You get tons of contact time with tutors which is the best thing. I feel that every new project is really interesting and teaches us something new, and we get a lot of industry experience with projects in the second and third year. Our technician is really skilled and as a result we learn loads of different techniques.
It's not that expensive to live here, and there's lots to do around. There some lovely parks and there's lots of part time job opportunities whilst at uni. The transport is quite good too. There doesn't seem to be any graduate opportunities though and people only come here to go to uni.
Living in uni halls is always extremely loud and you can't really do anything about it. The walls are quite thin. The location is great, there is 24/7 staff so I feel extremely safe and they do a lot of events to make us feel at home. This is the best student hall to live in.
