Am a remote learner based 200 miles away from the campus. All lectures on zoom and do not have access to any facilities.
Diverse students make you feel at home at Bolton University, brilliant medium classes enable close communication with the lecturers during lessons and teachers are approachable for support. Clinical skills support is brilliant and more importantly learning resources are made to be easily accessible to all students. Furthermore, Bolton University accommodates every student with various patterns and styles of delivering lectures for instance virtual learning, classroom learning, 1:1 learning support and small group project presentations. Bolton University is the best decision l ever made and l am happy.

I'm on a remote course and come to university campus every few months for exams and in-person exams.
It's a great campus with lots of modern aspects, it's warm in winter which always helps! The study pods and silent areas are a great idea. Later start times, say 9.30am would help with finding parking as 9am starts are very stressful for commuters - this could be balanced with shorter breaks if necessary.
The canals is fitted with the best resources it there especially within the film effects courses. we have access to machinery, workshops and studios all fully equipped with industry standard tools and materials with a great emphasis on training and health and safety when it comes to these spaces. The universities location is ideal for students as it is close to transport links allowing students the ability to travel to and from university with ease. Student services are very accessible and helpful and provide a number of services to help students through university life. The campus has some great architecture that makes you excited to be there and sets a comforting backdrop for learning even in rainy Bolton. The campus is quite large with many rooms which can be hard to find so maps around campus would be useful. And the Bolton app is quite glitchy making accessing timetables challenging at times. This app has a feature for locating buildings on campus but not rooms which is something my last university had which made finding lectures and last minute room changes easy. The cafeteria is reasonably priced and has tasty and healthy options everyday as well as a range of alternatives for any and all dietary requirements. The library has an extensive range of books for any and all areas of study and specialism and their book borrowing and return system is easy to use making it easy to access books whenever especially as it is always open early and late so you can get some studies in even if the rest of the university is closed for the day

The university is very chill and it fits the needs of the students which I honestly find very important aspect. I would say that the student life, mainly the social aspect is not as strong as I would like it to be as it's not particularly engaging but again this is based on my personal opinion and experiences so there may be some bias.
There needs to be organisation and communication with students at the moment we are getting told about term dates days before we are due back when we have childcare and work to organise too
Amazing uni!

The uni has a very good staff and they are very friendly people Resources are very good and easy to access.
Basically the classes are very well structured mean on how many students in each class we are not over crowded. All students from the same year as us wo started the same class got in different timing to not make a class over crowded so everyone can study better and understand.
