The best aspects are the staff - they're all lovely and very approachable. They respond as quickly as possible and with genuine care. The buildings and resources are all really good and I love the campuses. The worst aspects would probably be the distance between the buildings and having to travel from one campus to another at certain times or moving from one side of the campus to the complete opposite side with 5 minutes to spare.
Best uni. The teachers are amazing and helpful and everyone is lovely
The staff here are so friendly and supportive! There is always a sense of community and it’s never a dull day
The expiriance was very good fisrt year as I had so many opportunities for learning. This year with all the restructuring we have only one graphic design teacher, workshops getting closed and the course increase in price
Best - teachers are always there to help whenever needed
Freedom to use all the facilities and encouragement to be bold and expressive
Everyone is very supportive.
The lecturers within the fashion department also there lecturers from the creative departments are really helpful with your needs and requirements. Absolutely supportive in every way. I am super glad to be a student here!
The Catalyst makes it a great place to study because it's basically a massive commute area and a big library in one building. It's really good for studying with friends or groups from classes or if you want to have a bit of time studying by yourself in the peace and quiet, hopefully.
I really don’t like 9am lectures
The support from the lecturers during some of my difficult times convinced me that I had made the right choice. The quick accommodations made for me since my second year due to my status changing for learning ability help make it easy to progress my academic journey well. Some places where there could be a few improvements notably are the lecture delivery and overly stimulated rooms; some sessions are way too long for some of the students who have pain in their bodies and they often can't pay full attention. Most lecture rooms have a lot of bright lights that often trigger my migraines and cause sensory overload.
As an apprentice, the university is extremely helpful and gives me access to all the student support i need. I am treated like a normal student and the staff are great.
Amazing academically, but not much goung on for students
The campus really does set the tone, there are many people who are willing to help you when you need anything or even if you get a little lost. The mentors are great and your lectures are so good, they make everything do easy to understand.
The facilities and lecturers are extremely good. They are super helpful and friendly.
Nothing at the moment
There is a lot of green spaces and the general campus feel is very welcoming and the campus is very clean. There are lots of car parking spaces and the nature reserve is very nice. There are also lots of sports facilities. The main area for improvement would be to the student life. I live on campus, and there isn’t too much to do on the weekends.

First gen student
The facilities within the University are clean and work in the functions they are used for. I have been told that there isn't an elevator in the Flaxman building however this may be incorrect. The location of the University is accessible for every type of travel used. There is a train station just short of a 20 minute walk away and the drive is simple to get up to the university. The classrooms have plenty of space for an entire class to fit comfortably in. The resources needed can be found in an easy to access place and there are directions to the majority of the buildings on the campus. The union has been very helpful for me since i started attending the University. They are there if you ever need small advice in a rush. The best bit about the Uni is the amount of shops and places too eat.
The University of Staffordshire stands out as an exceptional place for higher education, particularly for those pursuing a career in Operating Department Practice. The courses offered are not only comprehensive but are also taught by lecturers who are genuinely passionate about their subjects. Their dedication to sharing knowledge and fostering a supportive learning environment significantly enhances the educational experience. Moreover, the resources provided by the university are remarkable. The difference in support and facilities compared to my previous institutions has been striking. This commitment to student success is evident in every aspect of university life, making it an ideal choice for anyone interested in this field. I wholeheartedly recommend the University of Staffordshire to prospective students, especially those looking to excel in Operating Department Practice. It truly is the best course available, and I am confident that others will find the same value and support that I have experienced.
