Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

My overall first year experience has been better than I expected, considering we are in the middle of the pandemic. The university lecturers made it much easier for us to adapt to the sudden changes. All staff are very kind, supportive and respectful towards all students. The location of the university is very convenient as it is close to the town centre which consists of bus stops, taxis and even a train station. Not to mention, the price is also very good- it is £8,000 per academic year which is less than most universities which ask for £9,250 per year. By applying for a low household income bursary it is possible to receive £500 back at the end of the year which helps even further. As the learning hours are merged into two days per week, this enables us students to continue with our part time jobs and therefore gaining more experience, look after family or maybe just simply revising more. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we were not able to attend any trips or participate in club activities after our learning hours which made the experience different to how it should have actually been. Even though that's the case, I'm still satisfied with the experience I have had. Despite the university being small and therefore not having as many students as other universities do, I would still greatly recommend UCP as I'm very happy with my first year of attending there.

My overall university experience so far has been amazing! I transfrerred after studying my 1st year at a much larger institution and have found it much more enjoyable since joining and have gained a lot more. The support I have recieved from staff with academic work and the delivery style has defintely benefited myself. Regulalrly contributing and presenting in addition to becoming involved with wider aspects of student life such as Student Council Rep, ambassador and engagement with employability hub has futher increased my confidence and self-improvement. Consequently, my development as an individual has been huge, both academically and in my wider skills. Providing you choose to engage, in terms of your studies and student development, you would be hard pressed to find another organisation that provides the same level of support and opportunity for improvement as UCP. Highly recommended!

Brilliant, it really is a great place to study. It's a personal uni, not like large universities, I always feel welcome and supported. I am very happy to study with UCP, money well spent!
