Good grade achieved, a lot of activity to put on. When it came to lectures you pretty much just read off the lecture slides. They don't give substantial notes to revise from (Powerpoint). How am suppose to revise from video clips of adverts?
Water fountains machines should be added to improve facilities!
Careers service - very good and friendly
Hindu Society - Part of the committee
Not a confident person so I think my prospects are very low.
No hot water for over a month, none of the additional extras as mentioned in the contract.
Course did not teach much about the practical aspects of the real world (i.e. Marketing); academic theory can only go so far. Poor alumni relations - clear to see that the alumni dept is aiming more at fundraising rather than relations.
Can't fault the library or computer labs, although some tech problems went untreated for months, years perhaps.
Student support and careers service were always there if required.
Went once to get the free condoms at first year freshers. Nothing really interesting happened thereafter.
Historically and culturally significant city, great nightlife and vibrant student life.
Active clubs and societies, however the behaviour of some clubs (i.e. the football clubs, as seen in recent press) was shocking. More abhorrently, it was not addressed by the University management.
Most lecturers were fastidious, engaging and genuinely cared for students. Some didn't.
Failure of university to promote/communicate job opportunities with nearby companies. Job fairs were few and far between. Communication of internships/work experience whilst at university was non-existent.
Student accommodation modelled on Swedish prisons from the 1960s. And it shows. In fairness, something is being done about this.
Overall, I had a really positive experience at Stirling. The campus environment suited students like me who had come from small communities. There were students from all over and a good variety of clubs to get involved in, with a strong focus on sport.
Lovely campus and environment, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The city itself is quite small, but as a first experience away from home I would recommend it.
I study Marketing at DMU and I love the uni. The Business & Law faculty is a new modern building with great facilities, the whole campus is situated in the centre of town as is the accommodation so you're always a short walk from wherever you need to be. There's so much going on both at the uni and in Leicester - Sports, Comedy, Gigs, Theatre etc. it's a great place to be.
Employability is such a big thing at DMU, you couldn't get more help on CV writing, interview skills, networking and careers if you wanted it!
Middlesex University is a fantastic! I really have had a great experience and am pleased I made the decision to study here. The creative facilities are great and the library is so useful- it appeals to every learning style a student could possibly have!
Library is fantastic and arts facilities are really good!
Holds great events and is a close tight community
London life is the best- always something to do and so you can never get bored!
London is the best!!
The marketing lecturers are really passionate and very knowledgeable which makes the course even more interesting and up-to date
Been working internally in Middlesex and even got a promotion! There is a lot of opporunities to move up the hierarchy
BU has excellent, industry level facilities and the library is incredibly well-stocked. I have really enjoyed uni life, I was quite nervous but I felt at home immediately at Bournemouth University.
State of the art, industry level facilities - the media school in particular is exceptional.
AskBU is extremely helpful!
SUBU is awesome! I love the Old Fire Station (student nightclub), Dylans (student bar) and the student shop! There are so many societies so everyone can get involved. SUBU also organises loads of fundraising and charity activities which look great on a CV.
Bournemouth is a great place to live! A mix of busy town/city (great nightlife), beach and countryside!
Loads of clubs and socities offered by SUBU
As a student ambassador I have to know a lot about Bournemouth's selection of course, there is a huge range, my course in particular Marketing Communications is a very unique course which not many universities offer. The lecturers are all extremely helpful and most will go out of their way to help you. No matter what your problem is.
I am not too concerned about entering the working world as Bournemouth's media school has an incredible reputation with employers. Furthermore the addition of a 40 week placement during my course means that I will leave with more experience and transferable skills.
For what you pay accommodation is very fair. It's not perfect - but most student accommodation is pretty bad anyway!
It's a great place to live and learn. If you like the beach and friendly people this is the University for you. It really is the best University in the country and the business school is great.
The re-semesteration which it has been introduced this year is not either in a favour of students or Lecturers. After 2 hours of continuous teaching same subject neither lecturers nor students seems to keep their level of concentration and focus any longer, it becomes also boring and tiring. Furthermore, there is still not enough of core books in Library and in some cases you can find "reference only” core books. Not everyone can read the copies from on line. I do believe that some teaching materials should be checked and controlled externally to make sure that the knowledge is passed by Lecturers appropriately. Moreover, the open door policy in our university it is a great idea as allow as to communicate more effectively and built even a stronger relationship with our university
There should be more core books avilable to students
I have never really used myself , however I feel that the" open door "policy it is a best way of support that I could get from this university .
We us a students are aware that they are in our university and we are confident that they are opened to listen. I have experience myself that their voice it counts and they are there ready to help, however they are not very much visible in our campus.
There should be something to do for everyone in a very reachable distance, however the sense of safety it’s not always great when you see lots of either drunk or drug people round Swansea high street or campus area on daily basis.
I am currently only a member of “Buddy Scheme " in this university ,and as this is a very first year of its implementation I do believe year after year this program it will get better .
Every Lecturer has got a different teaching technique , however not all of the lecturers are as prepared as other , some of them are also missing the passion of passing the knowledge it is more how to cover the teaching program rather educate us and share real life experience knowledge . For the knowledge and passion as well as amazing teaching techniques 5 stars, based on my study experience it should be given to Sandra Dattmer, Jayne Williams and Mike Davis. Their Moodle website it was also always up to date, very informative and with additional interesting related to study subject materials.
I have been on my way to achieve my degree in Marketing Management , however after the visit to our university from Marketing Company stating that they don't employ marketing students I have asked to change the study subject and graduate in Business Management . I do believe the chance in employability it’s higher than those who never entered the higher education, however I also believe that without Chartered or an extra qualifications and an extra working experience within study subject it helps a lot. I wish this university were in position to offer more work placements or internship experiences during 3 years of studding period.
Not applicable to me as I rent privately
The best University ever! Great facilities, available professors with high qualifications, the administration is constantly looking for improvement. A great student life within the university. Special mention for the good welcome of international students!
Beautiful buildings and access to disabled people everywhere.
Very active and supportive Employability team!

Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
Need to improve Sports activities
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
