The teaching is amazing and they have great opportunities for growth and to support you with your own well-being and if you're struggling academically.
Gives you the opportunity to learn more about yourself and there is freedom to cover work you're interested in which gives you time to consider which sectors you'd want to go into in the future
Great societies and clubs for learning. Amazing mental health support centres. Can improve food faculties and canteens a lot to cater to a multi diverse crowd than having the same food the entire year.
The course needs to have internships and practical courses to cater to a practical sector like business. You cannot teach marketing in 3 classes without having a practical implementation. It needs to have a blend of theoretical practice and in the seminar session to have short term internships. Networking sessions need to be developed.
Cost of living is affordable as compared to other cities in the UK. Liverpool people are super friendly too. Proper paying career opportunities are very few
Overall all the facilities and support systems is very humble and good.
All the facilities and support systems is very good here.
All the things is good
The size of the university and classes allows for a more personalised learning experience. That allows for greater learning. The staff also are very accommodating and are very supportive of student.
I think more in class classes in beneficial for a better learning experience than online leacture. This is because it allows for a more engaging experience
The one thing I like about my college is its environment and the people here. It's been only four months, and I am having my best moments here. Some of the events overlap with my classes, so I do not get to participate, which makes me feel sad. But overall, I like everything, and things have been going great at Ravensbourne.
I have my classes twice a week, and each class is about three hours long. The teachers really understand how we feel attending lectures for three hours straight, so they give us a 15-minute break, which is very good and thoughtful. However, the downside is the classroom location; the classes do not have walls, just partitions. As a result, we can easily hear sounds from the next classes, which can be quite disturbing sometimes.
Overall, everything at the college is quite satisfactory. The reception area is conveniently located right at the main entrance, making it easy for students to access information and assistance. The canteen offers a variety of meal options, and the availability of microwave facilities allows us to heat our lunches, which is very convenient. Additionally, there are dedicated student services that provide support, along with comfortable seating areas where we can relax and enjoy our meals. These amenities contribute significantly to a positive campus experience, enhancing both convenience and community among students.
The University is relaxed, and students have so much support available - financial, emotional and academic! The University is also very connected to industry, which is amazing. I wish it was located in a location closer to Central London as I feel like we are a little isolated.
My course is amazing. It is all in-class, and 12 hours a week (divided by 3 days). There is time to talk to lecturers and ask them to check your work, and lectures are often guided by what students need or are worried about. My course allows you to see every part of the fashion industry, and without it, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out exactly what I want to do and be in the fashion industry.
I love studying at Ravensbourne partly because of the excellent facilities (specifically the kit store, which is full of tech that I otherwise wouldn't have access to), well-stocked library, and how supported I have already been when I have asked for it. Due to the university only being small and not having as many community areas as other universities, the student life was what I rated the lowest; however, the location, right next to the O2, and with cafes and a food hall also on the peninsula, there are still plenty of places to go with fellow university students in between classes. I haven't been involved with the student union too much myself, but they often send emails and sometimes hand things out, such as vouchers for free drinks at the university cafe.
My course is taught almost entirely in class, between the main building (R1) and R2, which is just across the peninsula, and has the materials library as well as plenty of specialised printers, which come in very handy for modules that require printing and which benefit from being printed in a particularly interesting way, such as printing magazines. The course content is excellent and varied, including photography and graphic design, as well as marketing and plenty of research, making me feel like once I have finished the course I will have a very well-rounded and full set of skills. All of my lecturers are friendly and make me feel comfortable to ask them things when I need to, and when I have contacted them out of class time I have always received a prompt response; they are always sure to be specific about when they are non-contactable.
The best part of my experience at Warwick University has been the high-quality education and diverse student community. The lecturers are knowledgeable, and the courses are well-structured, making learning both engaging and practical. I’ve also met amazing people from all over the world, which has made my time here even more enjoyable. The campus has great facilities, so whether it’s studying or socializing, there’s always something to do. As for the worst part, there’s not much to complain about. If I had to pick something, I’d say the location can feel a bit quiet at times, especially if you’re used to big city life. While Coventry and Leamington Spa are nearby, transport could be more frequent. That said, the peaceful setting is great for focusing on studies, and there are plenty of events and activities on campus to keep things interesting. Overall, it’s been a great experience!
The best part of my course is that the content is interesting and connects well to real-world applications. The modules cover useful topics, and some lecturers make learning engaging. I also like that there’s a mix of coursework and exams, which helps in understanding and applying what we learn. However, there are a few downsides. Many lectures are online, so there’s less time for in-person learning, which makes it harder to ask questions and engage properly. Some lecturers aren’t the best at explaining things, so I often have to teach myself, which can be frustrating. Also, some modules feel a bit vague and don’t go deep enough into certain topics, leaving gaps in understanding. More interactive sessions or detailed explanations would help. That being said, the course is still well-structured and valuable, and I’m learning a lot that will be useful for my future career.
As an international student, I think the university provides a vibrant and friendly environment for us.
Some professors' organisation of the course makes us feel busy and confused.
The rent at the university is relatively expensive compared to living in the city centre.
I really enjoyed living on campus first year - there are loads of great facilities available for students, so many that I haven't even used them all myself yet. Bristol is, in my opinion, the perfect city to study in due to the number of students in the city - there are loads of opportunities for nightlife and meeting friends and discovering new interests/ hobbies. On the other hand the rent prices are ridiculously high compared to other universities - there is little distinction between London and Bristol rent prices. Both are extortionate (the rental market is not the university's fault though - this is just one of my largest criticisms). As a result of high rents, students who receive a substantial maintenance loan, alongside a part-time job, still struggle to afford to live in Bristol. As a Business Management and Economics student, there are many opportunities to get involved with academic societies at uni. Notably, the Economics Society, this society is very inclusive and organises a weekly club alongside events and guest-speakers. The society has an upcoming talk with PwC and UWE alumni to discuss careers in banking and finance. My course modules were great in first year, covering both Micro and Macroeconomics, statistics, accounting, marketing and more, however in second year it has felt like more of a focus on business and management modules which are less interesting than economics in my opinion. Overall, despite my criticism, I have had an amazing time at UWE so far as there is so much to do at university and around Bristol. I have also made some amazing friends and developed hobbies and interests through these friendships which have changed my career aspirations. I would also add that the process of living away from home as a student is very enriching, many students pick up cooking skills and mature very quickly as they need to look after themselves and I feel like I benefitted from this too.
I already discussed my course in the previous section, however to summarise, I have very much enjoyed my course so far. The modules I studied in first year closely aligned with my interests in economics and various business operations such as marketing. In my second year it has felt like my course has moved towards a focus on the business management side of things which is ok, but my personal preference would be more of a focus on economics. With that being said, I have really enjoyed my Economic Theory and Political Applications module which has covered all parts of economics which I have been interested in. One of the best things about my course is the friends I have made through studying this subject.
I really enjoyed my stay in Wallscourt Park halls, despite my room being on the top floor f a three story house. The room size was actually great with the perfect desk size and a comfortable double bed. I actually really loved my room in first year. Sharing a bathroom with one other person was ok too as me and the person I was sharing with became friends and now live together. One thing i would say is that a 12 person house can lead to a whole weirdly mixed group of people living together who may or may not always get on - but the kitchen is always really dirty, with people not cleaning up after themselves etc. I liked the wallscourt houses and flats as it felt like i was in a small town just filled with other students which was great. the downstairs living area was also very spacious and had enough room for my housemates and I to relax and watch a film.
