135 Solihull College & University Centre reviews

VR equipment is decent. Classroom is good and suited to class size.

Support is excellent. Tutors respond well to inquiries and give feedback and opinions frequently.

Practical experience given in game making. Small class size means one to one teaching is available and effective. Written documents holding information are few or difficult to obtain.

The VR room is amazing as are the majority of the classrooms in the D block and the HE centre. The toilets are kept fairly clean and the cafeteria is good.

In my opinion the support offered by the College is ok but could be improved on. A lot of my classmates don't feel as if the College is supportive enough in some areas. The tutors are good however and they offer some good advice that helps you out with your work.

I like how they give students a sense of freedom with our work. Of course there still are rules to follow but you don't feel as restricted in lessons and with assignments. Some lessons are boring but even in those lessons I can normally take something from them

They offer us opportunities for work every so often. I have been at this University on a College course and they are a good university for finding their students suitable work placements dependant on course.

Provided with everything we need to efficiently work in the course.

Feedback is provided several weeks after the assignment submission. The reasoning for the grade is explained fairly. Willing to support those who may be struggling both academically and personally.

Small group and on hands support from every teacher. Access to varied sources of information online. No exams. Marked through the form of assignments. Access to top quality facilities.

Work alongside us with the careers development team at University to discuss career paths

The rooms have adaquate facilities for the course and the VR facilities are unbelevable!!!!

In my opinion the support for me isnt very good as i myself am autistic and my needs are not fully aknowlaged

N/A

The Bars and location within birmingham is great. I dislike the public transport,. The football team Birmingham City is Amazing!!!!!!!!

they are great

The thing that i like the most is how the tutors are giving us things that we can do ourselves to learn and be able to work towardes our targets. The thing i like least ishow my special needs arnt fully aknolwaged and by some teachers my ISP isnt listend to.

They have offered us things such as offers to go to trips like EGX and doing things such as working at the university.

we have a vr room which is amazing. the only complaint is design and assets has macs which are horrible.

okay at times, the thing is we get mixed messages on this one, in terms of get told to ask for help if we need it, but also get told if we ask to much then we will be limited to a pass. also they take ages to sort finance support, i waited over a month for a answer to whether i would get support when they knew that i only had 1 week before i got made homeless, if i had relied on college and not sorted myself i doubt id be here able to type this.

i like the freedom we are given to work on our games, in terms of, so far in each of our courses we have been given choice to research or design a game of our choice. the thing i like the least is that most of the time we are left to our own devices, i like the freedom but i know most people spend half the time playing games instead of doing coursework

Well, so far there has been a few events and jobs available and we have been told about each of those, however as we are in our 1st year of the course so these opportunities have been limited

We have everything we need.

We receive regular feedback after we have completed our assignments. We probably receive more help than colleges with bigger class sizes

The group is relatively small which means we can get one to one support when needed. There's no exams, if there were exams I wouldn't do the course We have access to a VR lab

One student was offered a job introducing college students to the university courses.

they are alright apart from the food that keeps going up in price and the food tastes like cardboard and as for the facilities that we use they are top notch advanced technology we get to use on the daily so we have everything we most importantly need to use

it all is perfect and when i want and need feedback on my work i can ask and i will get it and where i did well and where i need to change something that i have done

I liked that it was a chilled environment that you wasn't talked down to like a child you was spoken and treated like an adult and was able to have a laugh and joke with the tutor that helps to grow an environment that you want to be in and makes you want to turn up to lesson everyday i don't have anything i like the least at all the lessons are taught properly and in a fun way and i wouldn't ask for more

they make us use industry standard software and programs so that gets us ready to make that easy transition into the work place. they also allow us to be creative and to use our imaginations more
