The staff are well acquainted with what they teach a the course material is incredibly interesting and engaging! All lecturers are responsive when it comes to doubts or any extra support and I find them eager to help whenever approached. I do think there could be a lot more diversity and talks about culture when it comes to the facilities and material, but overall a very solid course structure.

I love how spacious the rooms are and well kept the building is. I could do with more storage space. The communal places are lovely and housekeeping and maintenance are always quick and efficient! It’s convenient to know any issues or problems are solved within 48 hours at least and makes for a very comfortable living situation, especially as an international student away from home.

I appreciate that lecturers are quick to respond at any queries that we have at any time! However, missed lectures (lecturer absent) are not rescheduled and hence content and discussion not included!

I found psychology interesting in college so that why I picked it but I don’t like the assessments and exams to be honest.

Nothing to really complain about except it is really expensive.

teaching quality differs across modules main courses tend to be delivered well

there is a range of subjects in each module all very efficient and helpful. however the lecturers contact hours arent great, usually only an hour a week. however they answer emails very well and quickly. i personally would prefer less online sessions and smaller classrooms because it is quite hard to make friends in a 300 person lecture hall

the flats are quite a way outside the city but there is a free (for now) 20 minute bus service or its a 45minute to an hour walk. the flats are about a 15 minute walk from lovely coastal areas and milton skatepark. if you like going on nights out its a little hard and scary to get back sometimes but i have shared ubers with a group of people from the flats and been fine. the flats also have free (for now) parking and are very close to Lidls, Aldis and tesco

I enjoy the facilities for the Psychology department additionally I enjoy the content for psychology course as I enjoy the practical aspects of it.

I enjoyed that it was right above a Tesco and it was also surrounded by other shops that made shopping very easy especially after a long day. I didn't enjoy how spacious my room was and I especially enjoyed the ensuite bathroom. I do wish that my room had better ventilation as when I was there it felt very stuffy all the time. With my time there, constant building works were taking place around me waking me up on my days off, these works lasted until I left. Additionally in terms of security there was an incident of someone breaking into someone else's room.

Number of teachers

I like the structure of the course and the blend of learning

i love my halls and have requested to live there next year too

We have too many unmarked assignments and tasks to do

Central to social outlets/shopping/travel

Best: Lecturers make every effort to make students feel comfortable while encouraging engagement during classes. Many lessons are a good blend of listening to the lecturers talk alongside workshop activities which help to solidify content. Worst: Some modules tell us about assignments very late on into the course or do not provide us with enough information or clarification at all.
