My university really supports our careers. There is the Hired Hub which is a centre where they help you with your cv or getting a job. My course as an international placement in hospitality which really supports our careers.

My lecturers are very kind and do explain the things over and over again if necessary! I really like and feel motivated for my classes everyday!

As my university had a big investment in facilities! The facilities are very great, big library with many computers and books. Good study rooms as well as seminar rooms.

My year manager is always ready to help us if we need something. The mental health centre is always available as well. A new app has been created recently for mental health issues and it is supported by the university. The CASE is always ready to help you if you have any doubts on your assignments.

Unitemps have been great with part time jobs Hired do run good job fayres but that is about it, so many staff work in hired yet in order to get your CV checked you have to put it in an online robot which assess the cv and give you a percentage score you have to get a score of over 70% to get your cv checked by staff, so if you really need your cv improved you're a bit stuck, shouldn't those with lower scores get more help. My lecturer ended up going over my cv which was so much more valuable. They advertise jobs on hired connect, ive applied for a few and hear nothing back I sent an email during covid that i was really struggling finding a job and have applied for so many and had not been successful, they didnt provide any help just told me to put the cv through the robot which i had already done.

Course was really good , with really good modules that included business and tourism as well, I loved the Airline Crew Resource Management an Travel Marketing I loved that they brought in industry speakers and the trips were amazing, visited Dubai which was incredible. Only down side was that the University seems to take on anyone for money, which means some people join for the sake of it, and talk and mess around during lectures, the lecturers try and address the issue but nothing was done, just annoying when you want to work really hard for the degree but spending 9 grand a year to hear students behind you talking about football.

Never really hear from them until they want your votes for election. Although do commend Ross for standing up for us when the accommodation team wanted to charge rent during covid when we all went home

Stayed in both halls, prices go up but know improvements on what they offer, rooms and kitchens were great in both In cambrian you have to share a bathroom, and with the locks on the door, it can come to the point where your neighbour can walk in on you, but i met so many good friends here The Maltings is the more livelier halls and better facilities with your own bathroom Would of bee great if they kept the bar and shop but theres a tesco express round the corner.

UCB is improving their facilities but sometimes that means the building work disturbs student learning, also think the library should of stayed in camden it was spread out space with a great cafe, now its over two floors in a tight building, there used to be hardly any computers available but i know they have increased this now.

Campus and Accommodation are all in city centre, easily walk to bullring and bars and restaurants and such a wide range of food and drink available. Great transport links with new street close and buses available, also ubers and taxis for nights out Only recommendation would be to set up a coach or minibus each week and students pay £1 to go to supermarket and back, just so students dont have to carry heavy bags for 20 mins

Hardly any sport clubs or societies compared to other Universities These are only advertised at freshers fayre Joined volleyball club, went on the 1st week and was run by the leaders and captains, never to be seen again after that they never turned up so we ran it ourselves and ended up being kicked out the sports hall due to scheduling with the guild, was a waste of time.

Not really spoken about ,we know there are services available but nothing is advertised for these services.

They are making a great effort, organising a lot of events

What I like most is the fact that they are really interesting, but I don't like boring seminars
