We have access to everything and anything we need. As it is a creative arts university they have all the relevant facilities we could possibly have at our disposal

There is good mental health support and to my knowledge very good support for those with disabilities but I have not needed / wanted to use them

It has been a blended approach due to the pandemic but is usually all in person. We have one lecture a week, 2 hours of tutorial time spread out over maybe 3 days and access to the studio from 8 to 8 everyday. We see out tutors at least once a week but have constant contact with them if we want to via email or Teams messages

We have a number of guest speakers throughout the year and opportunities for networking, but I feel they could do more to prepare us for work in practice. We are studying a course which has a specific / same job usually lined up after it than the rest of our peers so we can all be prepared together

No help at all. I’ve been here for three years and had no guidance in using the facilities. Still closed cause of covid.

Terrible. Office staff are rude via email and made me feel helpless.

This university is absolutely terrible. Honestly i hated my experience in UCA throughout the whole three years I’ve attended. I have no lessons, all our tutors quit which they did not want to replace. After applying for an extension due to my metal health and asking for three weeks they refused that and gave me one week. I’m am extremely struggling and the lack of help is appalling. Whilst everyone’s graduation are going ahead, they refuse to let us have a graduation.

I found myself my own jobs luckily which taught me more than UCA has ever taught me. DO NOT GO TO UCA

No

No complaints

Pretty good i think

Decent lectures on a bunch of different subject that also interact with photography but not enough collaborative effort and workshops

Not really the uni’s fault but the field is too competitive so it’s hard anyway getting a career

No

The university has a range of state of the art equipment, which is a huge help to have access to on my course.

Generally support from the tutors is excellent however, in terms of disabled help I feel it is limited, still good but could probably have a wider range of support. For mental health, the only support I am aware of is a well being session taking place once a week for each year group.

Though it was hard with online teaching, I feel that the tutors tried their hardest to give us the best quality teaching they could given the circumstances. They provided a good level of support for students, especially those in different countries.

Many students who attend this university leave with a job or with a variety of job opportunities available to them. I believe the university equips us with the skills especially needed for the field we want to go into

No

Never been to the campus accept for the registration day 6 months ago. I don't even know what facilities are there.

Lack of communication by emails no interest at all. No proper schedule for students class, been receiving emails for the other courses which are not relevant to mine.

We been taught online only without any proper guidelines or any further announcement about the course. Finance and accounting subjects should be taught properly but complete lack of interest in students. 0 Communication if any request or inquiry made by the student, been with them since September 2020 and no Student photo ID card has been issued to me until 31 March 2021 and still waiting. Completed Post Graduation Diploma in BM but nor confirmation or letter issued from the university and this course was completed within less then 3 months which they consider to be one semester it is a complete Joke. Received further fees payment request by emails more then 3 times even before starting the main course which should have been started on 23 February 2021 and was informed by one of the student which started on 8th March 2021. Have not used campus facilities in last 6 months accept visiting the University for registration only. University must support student by giving them at least 50% discount during the Covid-19 situation while I do not have any job or place to live. I would not recommend any student to go there, please look around for other universities rather then ruining your academic career with them.
