The course content is amazing. i find it all really interesting. More so in second year because it is more tailored towards marketing, first year was very business based which was still relevant and necessary but for me just less interesting. There is more group work second year, which is nobody's favourite thing in the world but is an essential part of professional working, so I do value it. Some lecturers are amazing and go above and beyond what they need to, which I highly appreciate. Others do tend to just read of the slide and aren't very engaging. I think most of uni though however, is they will support you if you ask. I haven't really ever felt the need to ask, so I cannot say much about it in regards to that.

I think it was fairly good value for money, but if I had my time again, I would have chosen shared bathroom. However, you could only have 8 people if sharing bathrooms, and I really liked having 12 people in the flat. It always felt busy, there was always someone in the kitchen, and I fortunately got on well with all of them. Such different personalities always kept it interesting as well, to make for an unforgettable first year. The location was good, close to the glasshouse, which was nice, and close to the campus east bus stop, which was also very handy. It was the best location I think to everything on East. Wifi was fine, never really had any problems, and the campus security were pretty on top of things, without taking away the fun.

St Mary’s University offers a variety of different courses related to many different fields, from education to acting and sports management. All information shared by professors in lectures and seminars is posted on Moodle, meaning that lecture slides are always available for students to access at any point in the semester. This is useful as it allows students to revisit lectures to improve their notes and refresh their knowledge when completing assignments. Additionally, students can easily book one on one tutorial sessions with their professors during which they can discuss any queries they may be having regarding the course or their progress. This allows students to ask for help when they feel they are struggling, whilst also giving them the opportunity to receive constructive feedback in order to know which steps to take in order to improve. Course hours vary depending on each course, however most courses offer students a flexible combination of in person and independent learning, with most courses requiring students to come in 3 days a week. Class times are carefully planned to ensure that students who commute are given enough time to travel to university.

Course content is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and selective simulation modules depending on context. Like every other university, your learning correlates to the time you put in - and hence what you get out. For the primary dissertation module, you do not begin research preparation and idea brainstorming until the start of the second semester, and they are taught online for the students convenience and to cater to the larger class sizes. This is to allow students to settle into their studies and begin to learn the foundational material without the foreboding stress of your project. Our access to Academic Skills, Library Services and specialist Subject Librarians is unbridled, as an additional form of support beyond the lecturer. Either way, lecturers are still at the forefront of their research interests and regularly contribute their own experience beyond the traditional syllabus. For other modules, reading lists are prepared in advance and course materials disseminated regularly through the online 'Canvas' learning platform that some students may be familiar with. It has an intuitive system and easy interface, but the experience is assisted through the passion lecturers display in individually designing their course pages for student engagement - this makes it easier to digest the content and structure your learning accordingly. Regular case studies, advanced journals and practical examples are posted for you to read, while the course material is structured around the key text book in a methodical way. In this way, you can compartmentalise your learning and not have to worry about stressful back-and-forth or getting lost! Lectures help teach the core concepts and consolidate your learning, whereas seminars are more interactive and team-based to apply the principles picked up. In the event of a business simulation, these are normally taken within the tutorials as well, within the big computer labs on campus. At Master's level, you get to partake in far more simulation work to prepare you for life in work. For most modules, there will be an invited guest speaker at least once in the semester. In the past, they have been from big corporate names such as Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Luckily, strike action does not affect the faculty adversely unlike it's contemporaries - so you shouldn't expect much disruption to your learning in the academic year. Downsides include the progression from Bachelor's - while at Master's level the content is more advanced, it still follows the same pathway as similar modules undertaken at Bachelor's level if your degree is the same, or can be completely identical. Unless you're very self-motivated, it could be very repetitive and boring, thus you may find value pursuing a different subject field. Other downsides include disruptive students regularly and some lecturers not taking a stern approach to quell the behaviour. However, some lecturers are more than capable of controlling the noise levels - it just depends who you're stuck with. Finally, the course was supported brilliantly by the on-campus book store but this has now closed - a massive inconvenience for acquiring your own textbooks. Often, the library only has limited copies and competition to get your hands on one is tough!

I think lectures are well structured and made to be interactive. However some areas like relevance to the degree

For the price Birkbeck is good, it is not as modern as other halls on strathclyde. The kitchens are small for 6 people but is manageable

Course is basically useful for business purposes and real situation based study

The course is very theory based and does not involve enough pratical elements. It's very dry material which, considering that I study marketing, should not be the case. The degree also overlaps too much with management. Most of my knowledge is management based rather than marketing and upon applying to marketing internships, I realised that the degree hasn't prepared me with any knowledge or skills that I can use in a marketing job. Furthermore, I only have about 3-4 hours per week of seminars which is definately not enough considering how much this degree costs.

Bristol is very expensive, it feels very unsafe and in general it is very grey and run down. Even clifton looks dirty and unkept which is a shame because it has the potential to be very nice. There are also not many good job opportunities. There are a lot of small businesses but there is lack of big organisations.

I was really lucky in terms of my room. It was high up, had a lovely view with lots of sunlight and a relatively nice view. All the residence staff (including maintenance) were very nice and always there for you if you needed help. The common areas where very clean and modern. A downside is that I didn't always feel very safe there. Whilst in general it was a quiet building, there was often lots of screaming and door slamming on my floor and there were many nights I couldn't sleep. It sucks because even though it is uni and some people are not going to be quiet and respectful, I don't think its fair at all for the people who do want peace and quiet AT LEAST AT NIGHT. Furthermore, there was often loads of people who didn't live in the building here at night and it made me and a few other people I spoke to really uncomfortable. Staff should really be doing hall checks to make sure everything is fine.
