The course is taught through a blended learning approach, combining in-class lectures with online materials, which works well for flexibility and independent study. Contact hours are well balanced, and lecturers are approachable and available for support when needed. Teaching is clear and engaging, particularly within the marketing modules, and there is a good emphasis on discussion and practical application alongside theory.

One of the best aspects of my Business course is the variety in how it is taught. The combination of in-person lectures, smaller seminars, and independent study creates a good balance between learning core theory and applying it in practice. The seminars, in particular, have been really valuable, as they encourage discussion, group work, and real-world case studies, which helps bring business concepts to life. I’ve also appreciated how accessible lecturers and tutors are, whether through office hours, emails, or seminars, they are supportive and willing to clarify concepts, which is especially helpful as a first-year. Another positive aspect is the broad structure of the course. Being introduced to areas such as management, economics, marketing, and accounting early on has helped me understand how different parts of business connect, while also allowing me to explore which areas I might want to specialise in later. One of the more challenging aspects has been adjusting to the level of independent learning expected. While lectures provide a strong foundation, a lot of understanding comes from self-study, which can feel intense at times, particularly when multiple modules have deadlines close together. Occasionally, the pace of lectures can feel fast, making it difficult to fully absorb more technical content on the first go. To improve the course further, additional revision sessions or recap materials for more challenging topics could be helpful, especially during busy assessment periods. Clearer guidance on how much depth is expected for assessments would also help students manage their workload more confidently. Overall, the course has been engaging, well-structured, and intellectually stimulating. It has challenged me to think critically and develop skills that are clearly relevant to the real business world, making it a strong and rewarding course to study.

One of the things I like most about living in university halls is the convenience. Being based on campus makes getting to lectures, the library, and facilities really easy, especially as a first-year. Polden Court is well located and the rooms are a good size, with essential amenities provided, which made settling into university life more straightforward. Living in halls has also been a useful introduction to independent living and sharing space with others. However, one of the biggest downsides has been value for money. Compared to the cost, the accommodation feels quite expensive, and it doesn’t always reflect what is provided in terms of facilities and overall experience. Another challenge has been the social aspect while halls are meant to be a great way to meet people, flat dynamics can be hit or miss, and unfortunately this can have a big impact on how enjoyable the experience is. To improve halls like Polden Court, more affordable pricing or clearer justification for costs would make a big difference for students. In addition, more support around flat issues or opportunities to socialise beyond individual flats could help improve the overall experience and ensure students feel more comfortable in their living environment. Overall, while living in halls has been convenient and a valuable part of my first year, improvements around cost and social support would make the experience much better for students.

I think that this course is extremely useful for someone wanting to dip into the world of fashion and marketing as it provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge to do so. However, the course does lack on the in person teaching on specific programmes such as adobe as I didn't feel there was enough focus on each programme in detail. There is also a lot of technical skills involved in this course so many students did struggle with keeping up with students who had previously used cameras and adobe programmes before. The course is all taught in person and there are no online lectures which is good as it encourages students to get up and on with their day and interact with others in person rather than avoiding picking up their laptop to view their online lecture via Teams. All of the lecturers are extremely helpful in aiding learning and all have encouraged 1-1 appointments if students need additional help. This course is not useful to someone not interested in the fashion industry who just wants marketing skills as they should select to study ba hons marketing.

These uni halls are amazing for the facilities as the rooms are all neat and clean with en suite bathrooms and minimal decor allowing students to completely tailor their room to themselves. The kitchens are open plan and are a good size with a tv, sofa and plenty of cupboard space. The majority of the flats are 4 person flats which can be difficult for making friends as you are limited to meeting a small number of people and I do think that it is better to be in a flat with around 6 people in order to maximise the amount of people you can get to know in the beginning. However upon applying for this accommodation I was able to select who I wanted to be in a flat with by reading personal bios that students had already selected their flat's had written. This way you can see if there are students on your course who were in these flats or students with similar interests to you. This accommodation is around 20 minutes walk to the city and around 30 minutes walk from the city campus meaning it is further than other accommodations but still accessible. However, there is also a bus stop right outside taking you to both Headingley campus and the city centre by city campus which is around 10 minutes. Marsden has a false repuation for being loud and 'wild', however I did not have this experience and anyone I know who lived here loved their experience. The safety provided with two security officers day and night means you can be assured no one without their key can get into the accommodation and if needed the security can quickly access the halls. There is also around 4 staff members at the desk throughout the day keeping postage safe and providing you with any information you may need. The washing machines are in a room in the courtyard are easy to use and are all accessed via an app.

Good contact time

coirse is taught well but some stuff could be go eover less/more in detail

What could be improved is guidance for assignments. There have been times when I’ve felt as though I’m not given clear instructions from tutors to feel confident to complete an assignment and achieve a good grade. More direct and specific instructions on what constitutes a good piece of work would be very helpful in order to hit the right criteria and score a high grade.

Course itself is not bad, some lecture contents could be improved.

Lectures are a bit boring but that comes with the course I suppose. Final year lecturers are the best along with a few incredible first and second year lecturers.

Experience ruined by flatmates being really dirty
