I studied Business and Marketing Management, and to the naked, inexperienced eye, the university is inviting, friendly and well equipped. The subject's are made to sound fun, creative and interesting yet they do not tell you how your modules are very much developed with the leader's ego in mind and not whether there are any true benefits for the students. For example, the university likes to focus on employment and personal development yet these modules do not actually develop the vital skills required for graduate employment such as software learning, CV help or interviews. In fact, the modules ask you to create a questionnaire, draw your life and create a storyboard representing your life journey. In terms of marketing modules, I can safely say only one module in the whole 3 years was enjoyable and I can feel is something I can talk about in an interview; marketing communications, where we had to design our own hypothetical campaigns and manage them appropriately. Also, this was only one in 5 modules out of 15 over the 3 years that were about marketing. The programme isn't designed holistically, but more whether the teachers design something they can be bothered to teach. Although despite this, the programme leader for Business and Marketing Management was exceptional - he was always supportive and would go out of his way for you, which was nice to feel like we had someone on our side. Facilities are lacking - not enough computers or reliable printers. Never enough core text books despite the library saying they were ordering more. Overpriced canteen. Students Union poor with terrible Freshers line-ups. Can safely say I am leaving University without even the most basic knowledge or skill set required for job applications.

Uni is good in general but if you decide to do a posgraduate degree be careful, there's lots of 'free time' and you won't get lectures as an undergrad. The studios and places are amazing but if only they could do more with it....

I am a business student studying business studies with marketing. What I have seen so far is that the course I study is the best for me and helpful for me in my field of interest, i.e. business. I feel that I have come to know more about the UK markets, international markets and also how business and marketing actually works. I am glad that I chose Northumbria as my uni as it has the required level of teaching and good faculty, to help us understand the course better.

You will be very busy once you progress to second year with lots of coursework and projects. Actually you can learn a lot form those courses with some practical experience. Lecturers are really nice and patient. So you can always get some help if you need them.You should focus more on your real interest rather than just decide it based on ranking.

I like the learning zone! They got the best projector! We have our group discussions there! Nice place~ as for food, I like the chicken bake in greggs, which is delicious and convenient. I don’t have enough time for cooking, so I eat on campus canteen. Lancaster is a good University. I got many friends to study with, which helps me a lot.

Liverpool John Moores is a fantastic university. I am now in my third and final year, studying Marketing and it has been a great' experience. The teachers are great, they make the lectures really interesting so that you actually want to do the work. Liverpool is a nice city with lots of places to go during the day, and for a good night out out. There are great job opportunities for when you graduate which is the most important thing really!

One thing you always have to remember is that University is not like school, so there may be things you'd be expecting lecturers and supervisors to do but they don't because it is not their job to do so, for instance to ensure that you attend your lessons. If you fail to attend and have not been able to make contact with your lead supervisor by email, you will be marked as absent and perhaps miss out on important topics that have been discussed during classes or lectures, however many lecturers do record their lessons and put up the slides that they displayed during classes, so you are not fully behind and can still catch up - this is very useful especially when you are for instance, too ill to go in for lessons.

One thing I really loved about this university and I am glad that I experienced it early enough to have me convinced that the university is lively, friendly and a great place to be at. Obviously, when you newly move into an area it would take some time to get your head around it and used to the new environment and system. This is why I wasn't going to leave my house at first knowing that I may get lost and not find my way back home, but I just pushed myself, went out unfortunately I did get lost but I met some great people that helped me find my house and I also saw that I wasn't the only one as I saw the campus watch helping a couple of other students home.

Canterbury on its own is a very beautiful and attractive town, there is always something happening in a good way, during the day you would see all kinds of people just strolling out for a walk or doing their shopping, whether it is the elderly people, young students or families with their children - either way you will always see people up and about. Night time, you would just see the students from different universities; University of Kent (Canterbury and Medway) and Christ Church university hanging around and visiting the night clubs which keeps the night alive at Canterbury and very vibrant.

Comparing the bus travel in Canterbury to for instance bus travel expenses in London, you would realize that it is relatively cheaper in Canterbury - the price of a return ticket in Canterbury is about the same price or even a little bit cheaper than just a single travel in London and for those, that are traveling to London on a regular basis would see how expensive it has become especially since you used to have free travel because you were still at school and now you are paying adult rate. It really kills me every time I go to London and have to buy a day ticket or travel.
