Applied Special Educational Needs and Disability (Top-up) - BA (Hons)

University rating (2)

We had a fantastic Canadian lecturer who is very knowledgeable in special education, and really engaged the whole class in discussion. The research supervisor was fantastic and was relatable working within further education and gave brilliant guidance during the final year. Our other lecturer was a bit hit and miss. Legally ,we shouldve had 20 hours of contact a week and only got 4 1/2 a week, certainly not worth the full whack of fees. During the final year, the research unit was poorly delivered and did not offer anything practical to help us with data analysis, coding , transcription of interviews, working out coefficients in action research. This is something that should not have been disregarded. There were no practical sessions or log book of hours usually part of teacher training esp when applying for EHC assessments EHC plans and accessing funding. This hasn't really taught any of us additional employability skills to work in our sector . Inclusion isnt great and were witness to one incident towards a peer where she was reprimanded for attending lesson, driving 60 mile round trip to attend lesson was exhausted and found it hard to focus in lesson. it later transpired they had been diagnosed with long covid . There was a lack of compassion towards their effort to attend and not miss a session.

Best was the conference on SEND and 2 tutors , one from Canada and the other at an FE college. Worst: The other tutor was not compassionate towards myself, recovering from long covid, I fell asleep in one lesson. Out of all lessons I attended from Sept to June, and they insisted what I did was bad behaviour, despite a formal diagnosis after my 4th bout of COVID-19, an apology and reassurance that falling asleep wasn't a reflection upon their teaching or course content, I was struggling with extreme fatigue and heart issues. I've worked in education 12 years and 7 years in healthcare. A student falling asleep or having behaviour out of character is a safeguarding concern , not a disciplinary matter. No apology was given over their conduct towards me, as they felt it was necessary to subject me to such behaviour , as there had been complaints made by other students about this lecturers conduct. As a mature student and a parent of a disabled child, I expected more understanding and compassion from a uni that states they are inclusive .

Psychology and Criminal Behaviour (Top-up) - BA (Hons)

University rating (1)

Totally dissatisfied especially with the student support never offered or advised me properly regarding to maintenance loan they kept saying that I am not entitled to. They sanctioned me from studies because I own two month rent to an accommodation with inappropriate situations and permanently closed. I have paid almost 18000 for the course i was studying and received nil support. I have sent them couple of emails asking them to transfer my credits to an other University however they are keep ignoring my emails. Unacceptable, unprofessional service who do not care their students welfare.

Contact time with tutors could be better but overall a good experience for my first year. University facilities are good. Local area in general isn't great. But really enjoying my course so far.

I hope by writing this review I can save someone from making the same mistake as I did. If you decide to take an artsy degree you might have a good time but the organisation and miscommunication of this university will tire you out and effect your grades. Working at Luton Dunstable University Hospital was the biggest mistake of my life.
