7 University College of Estate Management reviews

I did the distance learning progra, therefore the facilities were actually online, and the platform was perfectly designed and permanently innovated to fit with our needs

Just perfect, I had everything I needed - and Tutors were so cooperative and answered every question we had. they also encouraged communication and collaboration between students

Not relevant

The online platform is just amazing, it is one of the most flexible tools that allowed me to upgrade my skills during my full time job in addition to being a mother. Time management and access to online material made my life easier, with the possible to listen to podcast and exchange questions and answers over the platform with Tutors and other students. It was also possible to review the info any time anywhere.

Networking events with Alumni, in addition to an online group through linked to exchange information and knowldege. Full support at my MIPIMworld participation and coverage of my participation to the roundtable with RICS . Suggestion of new courses that can further upgrade my skills.

There aren't any and the online ones are really difficult to navigate. I make databases and websites as part of my job, and this one is shockingly unintuitive.

The mental health first aiders are pleasant but not able to offer anything particularly useful other than phone numbers for other services you could have found just as easily on Google... or easier as you would have just searched rather than had to enter into correspondence with delay time for responses

None

Online webinars and course material

Not in anyway shape or form has this increased my job prospects, my experience is proving far more relevant and valuable than the degree

The VLE is somewhat confusing and daunting to start with, but after getting used to it the course structure and materials are easy to follow.

Feedback from assignments has been good and has helped to develop my understanding of the content.

Most information and materials are available from the outset of a module, making it easy to go at your own pace and manage your own time. All of my tutors have been responsive and helpful when I have needed clarification.

Good. I like UCEM for the fact that all their facilities are sustainability inclined. It's a state of the art.

The feedback is generally constructive and detailed.

Well. This does not apply as it is an online Uni. You can attend occasional face to face teaching if it applies to your program of study.

Wow. Nice question. I think there is no other University which can offer the dynamic method of UCEM friendly VLE and teaching scope. You can work, earn, learn at the same time. Location is not a barrier to learning. Although, it is extremely demanding but its worth investing your time in. The tutors are well grounded in their respective field.

Since graduating from UCEM the institution has been in touch with me and are supporting my career prospects from CV writing and coaching to guidance on areas where I can network and be gainfully employed.

Not good - library resources are poor and no access to things like Eduroam wifi.

Terrible. There is no opportunity for personal discussion, for example asking if you are approaching an assignment the right way, for ideas for further reading or if the idea you have for your dissertation is a good one. Expected just to get on with doing the set tasks and not take any interest beyond this. When I queried the comments of a marker, the response I got did not address the points that I had raised as to why I thought that they were incorrect. It just said that the maker was right and that I was wrong. Not helpful! The people who do the Dyslexia stuff were however very good.

NA - distance learning

Very few online articles are available, no access to things like British Standards. Very little personal direction available from 'tutors'

DO NOT DO THIS COURSE! It is terrible! The teaching is poor and access to resources / materials even worse. The most expensive mistake I've ever made. The 'tutors' don't care and don't give any one on one help. The review talking about extra lectures at Reading is wrong - there aren't any.
