Personally, I love my course, the lecturers are great and very helpful and I love the subject. The campus is okay, but they've spent a lot of money adding new buildings when they could have just renovated the older ones to make them more modern.
I love my course, I do Media and Environmental Communication (not just Media) and the content is really fascinating and relevant. I wish they weren't removing the course, as I think more people should do it, it's so current to our climate crisis.
improvements can be made by modernising buildings which will make students feel more comfortable in staying longer in campus
most lecturers are great however some needs extra training in giving students more brief and what to expect
Brighton is a very happy and diverse place to study at
They have things such as Learning support plans and more, to support student with some form of challenges which has been of great help to me coming this far
It is mostly an in-class learning which means early mornings but the university has a bus to help transportation to get to class. Love that it includes seminars that helps to break down and better understand the topic of the lecture and there is constant help with assignments. Can be really long as psychology is such a deep course, this can sometimes be overwhelming.
I felt safer there as there was security on site and knowing my package delivery will always be safe. I got an ensuite which I enjoyed the privacy it brought. The shared kitchen was big and constantly cleaned along with other communal areas. I did not like the shower as I was used to showers with strings you can maneuver.
Support from staff and facilities has been great
Some very good lecturers
The city is amazing and the course is awesome because you can tailor it to your interests
It’s very customisable but there’s not much support
Reception is rude but the rooms are amazing and brand new
Though I feel some of the student run elements could do with slightly better management, overall Brighton Uni has a plethora of top-quality lecturers, facilities, and services.
There has been a lack of consistency in terms on who is teaching a module at any given time. Sometimes switching week to week and/or having 3-4 different teachers over the course of a single module.
My room allocation is directly in front of the flat front door, which can get busy and loud. While students are encouraged to close building doors, for safety reasons, sometimes door are left unlocked by staff. Despite letters being clearly labelled, sometimes they are left on top of the mailboxes instead of being directly placed in them. However, it is a fantastic location, and staff are always helpful.
The city of brighton is a lovely environment which the university matches with its great staff, range of facilities and attention to students. The libraries in Cockcroft specifically are great and there is plenty of space. An improvement for the uni would be the city campus. I study there and it is hugely disadvantage compared to the Moulsecoomb campus, with no library, cafes, restaurants and a very empty atmosphere
My course is now taught all in person, however strikes are currently majorly affecting it. The course content is interesting, however some lecturers definently teach with less enthusiasm than desired. The course hours are decent with lots of in class time spread throughout the week, and they have lots of good kit to book out which is very helpful.
Great location, nice rooms all with en-suite, big kitchens and all you needed there. However when I stayed (first year it was built) security was weak and security guards were not helpful. Also we were promised multiple facilities that were not completed until the year after
Really enjoying being a mature student and as I’m disabled I find student support services very helpful and approachable. Recorded lectures are so helpful and the lecturers are all wonderful and engaging.
The blended learning experience is great, lecturers are engaging and extra curricular opportunities are interesting and helpful in gaining knowledge and experience.
As a non-English student, I was well supported and invited to various activities in and around university campus. The location is wonderful- Eastbourne campus- sea, cliffs, wildlife coming into the campus .. Splendid location to learn and unwind to. The staff is very welcoming and supportive to all your needs, very understanding and run an extra mile, if needs be! I am ever so happy that I've chose this university, never regret!
I am a hands-on type of person and to have the course taught online is not my cup of tea, but I've managed to adapt. Physiotherapy is a hands-on service and I can not emphasize enough the length that the staff went through to ensure that the seminars and practicals were safely and under regulations guided. I am very happy that the years past and we have the opportunity to put our hands at work and been taught differently than after-pandemic. The lecturers will give plenty of time and explanations to ensure that the course is understood. Very happy with the hands-on seminars!
My course is well organised and there are so many opportunities provided to us which is great! However, they can be quite expensive and there are not many funds.
the studio is open every day to students, there are seminars, lectures and tutorials weekly which is great! they don't support very weel those for who English are not their first language.
i love how small is and how Brighton is mainly students, but it can be quite expensive.
It was 1 min away from my campus, and also next to a bus stop, Aldi was a 5 mins walk, definitely a great location! however, the cleaner didn't do their jobs properly and the gym downstairs wasn't done.
