excellent

amazing

great

They offer lots of work placement opportunities as well as career fairs and individual lectures to provide students with the opportunity to consider various different career options

I really enjoy the sense of independent learning that they bestow on us while at the same time, remaining present in lectures and seminars to provide support to students should they require it.

I feel the students union is a nice place to go and wind down with peers however I do not understand what they do and they dont appear to do much else, other then provide a place to drink

I would say the facilities are great they are modern and up to date and they provide all the facilities we require

Its not much of a city in Teeside but there are lovely people and its a very happening town that is up and coming

Great, i love them

I find them very good, although we can struggle to actually get appointments

Job fares

Lectures are understanding and will double back on slides to anyone who is confused

Love it

Brilliant

Its ok

A good wide range

The support is unbelievable

Within the university there is a careers department you can visit to get tips for placements and volunteering opportunities or to help with cv etc. The course leaders are also very helpful in helping you find any placements that may interest you in order to increase employability at the end of your course.

I like that all the course content and notes are available online in case you need to go back through and revise or revisit a topic that you’re unsure about. I haven’t experienced anything about the course that I particularly dislike as of yet.

I don’t get involved with the student union as nothing has taken my interest yet, I may become more involved once I settle into the uni routine better and have a little more time.

So far I have used the university library and joined the gym. I like the gym as it’s not overly crowded and you are able to use the squash courts as part of your membership. I like the library and the fact it’s split up into different floors for group work/independent study etc. However the independent study does sometimes get pretty loud considering it is supposed to be a silent floor and often it goes unnoticed by library staff.

The city life is okay in Middlesbrough but it isn’t a massive busy city, the town centre is a decent size but not in comparison to other places such as Manchester or Leeds.

There is a wide range of clubs and societies available at the university. Some of which are academic based and others that are based on hobbies and just giving yourself a break from studies.

I can’t fault the support at the university. Everyone is given and introduced to a personal tutor who you’re able to go to for support and guidance. As well as this, in depth feedback is given on all assessment, positive or negative. Although I haven’t used it, everyone has been made aware that on site counselling is available for those who need it.

Opportunity to work in placements that would be hard to get on your own. Helps us with cv and covering letters along with prep for interviews.

The least is that sometimes some of the modules are not well organised. Most I like is that some staff make the subjects interesting

I don't get involved as it's not my type of place to be in

I think the facilities are good

The city isn't the greatest city

I don't know

I think it depends on who you get certain ones are excellent and others don't care

They have a lot of support networks

Informativeness

just to busy

great many restaurants and places with student discount

great

Provide transferable skills such as group work, presentation skill and manual handling

The seminars and lectures are interactive. Each lecturer brings a different style to teaching. Incoporating different techniques to ensure students stay engaged. The negative being that the timetable can be confusing, interchangeable and at times rooms are not provided until the day of the session. This can be frustrating when employed.

I have only been twice. I’ve ate there but feel it is very expensive considering it is for students.

Academically the tutors offer great support and guidance.

Encourage students to take park in volunteering roles related to the course, in order to gain work experience elements, that employers may find vital.

Mostly like the accessibility to the slideshows after the lecture or seminar so I can refer back to teachings and specific references to include in my work.

Have not been involved in students union initially. There was a few events on but I do not feel his really grasps the idea of involving people. I think there needs to be more involvement to include new individuals even though it is in the second semester.

Facilities in general are quite good. Good accessibility to them and offer a range.

As I live away from uni it’s difficult to determine. Went out on freshers and it was okay. I like the events that goes on in the uni itself.

Not part of a club or a society but would like to be. Think there needs to be more advertisement later in the year for people who missed out on that information at the start.

As a care leaver there is the opportunity for personal support however, my specific personal tutor only introduced himself to us after the first semester has finished, meaning I was not able to potentially get support if I needed it. I believe this should have been completed at the start of the year (as other tutors did) and felt this was a lack of support. Academic support is great and the lecturers continue to give support when needed.

Experiencing real life aspects of a career through examinations. A lot of transferable skills and lots of opportunities to research within the university.

I like mostly the content of the modules but sometimes it can be repetitive from previous years

Its AMAZING

Excellent. So modern and inviting.

Great!

They are fantastic, lots of variety. There is something for everyone

Some times feedback can be scarce but overall the help is really good.

They help me when I need help and I can trust the uni at anytime

My course is fairly new but each year they are learning and making it great

I don’t go because I’m too busy but I hear great things and I know that I’m missing out.

If I need anything they will help me and let me borrow it.

Very good I have everything on my doorstep

Clubs are good my course has its own club which allows us to go to events and comic cons in other countries

I have anxiety and I know that if I need help the uni will be there all I have todo is call and I can get an appointment
