Amazing, everything in Ulster is based on employability. It's was one of the main reasons I chose to study at Ulster. Placement years are great and available for every course and the EDGE award is good

I like the format of lectures and tutorials with groupwork. I would like more lab work, but that has been unfortunately reduced this term due to covid. No fault to the uni

The student reps are great and the lecturers always listen to feedback from ourselves.

The library is good on campus and the range of books online and on campus is great for my studies. The cafes and shops on campus are great too and the availability of lab equipment allows hands on experience.

Yes, train makes it really accessible for me while living at home. Shops, cafes and restaurants are great and really close.

Great, I have found various societies and sports that I am interested in. There's always new societies being made when needed.

The academic support is great, personally so far I have used the counselling services however the professors encourage us to seek any help at any time for any issues whenever we need it.

lots of emails of opportunities and a careers centre

It has a part time careers department on our campus (1 person) though she is great. My course itself was absolutely no help in assisting me in finding a placement or helping me work towards employment.

Well, they’re taught pretty well now but when I was in 1st and 2nd year we were missing a lecture in my specialist area and missed out on key teaching so that now I’m half way through my final year and feel like I haven’t been taught anything of the practical side of my subject. And the way my minor specialism is taught seems to lack a lot in the modern essential skills for printmaking - digital print and repeat print.

The staff and student staff are awesome and the facilities are improving

They’re decent. The water fountains are shockingly bad but everything else is okay.

Yes. It’s in city centre. Surrounded by student accommodation. The only problem is the distance from some public transport from areas of the city like where I live.

Well, on my campus there’s no access to sports facilities or clubs. You have to travel via unreliable public transport several miles away to the Jordanstown campus. Which on student money isn’t feasible and is too time consuming. Especially for those who live in the opposite direction- like me.
