Students' union

What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
Good student trips, helpful advice for students (e.g. Financial), plenty of regularly advertised activities e.g. Voluntary positions, part-time jobs etc.
Local life
(3)
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Could be better for student looking to have nights out, but Leeds is on the doorstep and provides an excellent option if you are looking for an active nightlife! Bradford also has an amazing range of restaurants to try, as well as bowling, cinema and the Alhambra theatre about 5 minutes walk away from the main campus at uni.
Societies and Sports
(4)
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Plenty of clubs and societies - something for everyone to join! Students are given responsibilities within the clubs, helping to develop personal qualities and key skills e.g. Organising events
Lecturers and teaching quality
(3)
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Good - at time lectures/tutorials could be made more interesting, but content is usually relevant and helpful towards exams or assignments. Most lecturers are very willing to help students outside lectures if stuck on a topic.
Career prospects
(4)
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
Excellent - huge emphasis on helping students with career development from helping with writing CVs to carrying out mock interviews with students. Also has a high % of students in a graduate job after 6 months.
University halls

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
High quality modern eco accommodation available - award-winning and definitely some of the best in the country!
