University so far has been really good! I am really enjoying my course and it is taught very well by very knowledgable tutors and lecturers. It is strange to be so far from home and I have struggled with fitting in with my flat, however I have found a house for the 2nd year with friends from my course and outside of this. There is lots to do in the city when we are not at university and the facilities at uni are helping me to thrive
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
My university course will get me into a career as soon as I qualify. It sets up placement days in the first year as well as placement blocks which will help us explore the career further. The university holds employment days to find a job and lots of careers advice should we need it
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
What I like the most is that we have lots of practical classes which helps us to learn more hand-on techniques. We also do not have any written exams which is very good I don't like how different lecturers sometimes tell us different things as this can get very confusing.

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?
I don't really know much about the students union. They provide lots of sports clubs and other societies, but other than this I don't know what their role is
Accommodation
If you live in university halls or private housing, what is your accommodation like?
My accomodation is really good. It is a good price for what I have. The onsite security team are really good and if there are any problems they are fixed very quickly. The site is secure and I feel safe in my accomodation.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
The universities facilities are very good. There are 2 large libraries, 1 at each campus. There are also 2 gymnasiums. There is lots of practical rooms to help with learning as well as many lecture theatres
City Life
What’s the city life like?
The city is really nice. The train station is central and there are lots of coffee shops, pubs, shops and it is a 5 minute train journey to the big shopping centre.
Clubs and Societies
What are the clubs and societies like?
The clubs and societies are really good, there is a wide range of clubs and societies to join. All of which are run and organised well
Student Support

Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc
OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
The assignment is really stressful, because a half of lecturers here got some problems with their teaching skills, they can't convey what they mean to us. And also, the content of some modules is really generic, its simple but they over-complicate it, which makes the assignment really hard because we dont know what they want, and we dont deserve the effort we made. The content is something really old, like back from the 90s, I actually was really enthusiastic with this course before deciding to attend here, I look for some technical knowledge, some strategic management, but all they teach is about moral, I regret my decision and I feel bad for those who already paid the deposit, no wonder why the university's rank has dropped dramatically these years. If you dont believe what I am saying, feel free to take a Msc Logistic and Supply Chain course. And there is a semester, they sort your timetable just for 2 days a week and from 1 to 8 each day, for me my mind cant grasp anything after 5 hours studying, not to mention this is a postgraduate course, not a undergraduate.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
The employability building is ok, they got some sessions talk about writting CV,... but I dont think with the academic knowledged that I got from here makes me confident enough to step into real life
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Everything is theoretical, generic, not interesting at all. There is a good professor but his part in the module is too short, one other lecturer got a good content but I dont think hes good at teaching, the way he explains confuses all of us.
