Content overall is very interesting, quite up to date with relavent topics. Coursework has been helpful for understanding. Most lecturer's have been helpful/provided useful material. Some modules not really needed and not very useful

There are many opportunities which I appreciate, however, there are not many vacancies open for international students, who require visa sponsorship. I would hope to receive more support not only for the career after graduation, but also for part time or internships during study.

I enjoy and appreciate most of the things. For improvement, I would like to have a bigger studying place, since we have many group works. Plus, I would hope I ca bring my family to stay in my room more than few days.

course is very small and well maintained, limited contact hours which would be okay if the assignments were not so complicated. things don't feel very organised but it's getting better through feedback

The course is totally in-person, which allows immediate discussion and lots of group work. The lectures are rather squeezed in two days of the week.

Location wise it is perfect, close to the city centre, there is a bus station just across the street, and it feels very safe. Just that the rent is unrealistic high for a student's budget.

Good contact hours and helpful supervisor

Boring lectures

Worst heating system. Extreme ends of the University. No social facilities.

Not a lot of contact hours but interesting content

Very sociable accommodation but small rooms

My course lecturers are supportive

My accommodation is quite expensive but it worths the money. Flatmates could be annoying most times: quite messy!

Overall, my experience in the course has been very positive and intellectually stimulating. One of the best aspects is the teaching approach, which effectively combines in-class lectures, studio-based learning, and independent research, creating a well-rounded and engaging learning environment. The balance between theoretical input and practical application has been particularly valuable, as it allows concepts to be tested and developed through real-world case studies, modelling exercises, and design-led assignments. This blended approach has helped strengthen both my technical skills and critical thinking. The course structure and contact hours are well planned and intensive in a way that reflects professional practice. Regular lectures, workshops, tutorials, and reviews ensure consistent engagement while still encouraging self-directed learning. The studio culture fosters collaboration and peer learning, which has been a strong part of the experience. Importantly, access to lecturers and tutors has been excellent, and staff are approachable, responsive, and generous with their time, whether through scheduled tutorials or informal discussions. Feedback is generally constructive and detailed, helping students refine their work and better understand expectations. Another major strength of the course is its industry relevance. The curriculum is aligned with contemporary challenges, particularly around sustainability, low-carbon design, and building performance. Exposure to tools, methodologies, and frameworks used in practice has helped bridge the gap between academia and industry. Guest lectures and external inputs have added further depth by offering professional perspectives and showcasing a range of career pathways. In terms of areas for improvement, the course is demanding, and during peak submission periods, the workload can feel intense, especially when multiple deadlines coincide. While this mirrors real-world practice and builds resilience, slightly more spacing between major submissions could help reduce pressure and allow deeper reflection on feedback. That said, lecturers consistently encourage students, are open to feedback, and actively support individual academic and career goals. Overall, the course stands out for its strong teaching, applied learning, and supportive staff. It offers an excellent preparation for both professional practice and further research.

Overall, my experience at Host Centurion House has been largely positive. One of the aspects I like most is the convenient location, which offers good connectivity to the city and university, making daily travel relatively easy. The building provides a sense of independence that suits postgraduate students well, and the accommodation feels secure and well-managed. The rooms are generally comfortable and functional, offering adequate private space for both studying and relaxing. Having on-site support and clear communication channels for maintenance issues has also been helpful, with most concerns addressed in a reasonable timeframe. In terms of areas for improvement, value for money could be enhanced. While the accommodation meets basic needs, the rent feels relatively high in comparison to the size of the rooms and the level of amenities provided. Some shared facilities, particularly kitchens, would benefit from more consistent upkeep, and clearer guidelines around shared responsibilities. Additionally, noise levels and cleanliness in shared spaces can sometimes be challenging, particularly in a large postgraduate residence where schedules and lifestyles vary. More frequent cleaning of communal areas and clearer enforcement of quiet hours could help create a more comfortable living environment for all residents. Overall, Host Centurion House offers a practical and safe accommodation option for postgraduate students, with a good location and a generally supportive management team. With improvements in communal space maintenance, clearer expectations around shared living, and better alignment between rent and amenities, the halls experience could be further enhanced.
