By consistently sending fantastic emails which are super handy

Like most: Very interactive so it's not just the teacher talking at you the entire timr Least like: Not much except they can be monotonous.

They make you feel comfortable so you feel like you can say exactly what's on your mind. I'm not actively involved but this is what I've heard

Pretty good on the whole. Looking forward to when the construction work on Lewes road is done

Definitely! I live a 2 minute walk away from Mithras house which is where I study

Top class! A society/sport for everyone! I go to tennis club every Thursday

I've never used them personally for counselling as I'm fortunate to have great people to talk to. I'm also a big meditator so many things don't get to me like they used it therefore I feel pretty good most of the time. Academic wise, the feedback is always detailed and most of the time, lecturers will get back to my emails asap

One of the module in second year was focussing on career options, development and planning. We drafted video interviews, cvs and cover letter and made a plan for the future after graduating. I quickly realised the importance of experience and chose to do a placement year before going into my final year. I was able to contact our lecturer in-charge of the placement and got a placement in my home town. Working in the Lab as a trainee biomed and being able to start my portfolio has meant a lot of opportunity are now open to me after I graduate.

I like that we have mixture of assessment style. they should also focus on the practical skill required for biomedical scientist.

most services are satisfactory. But the library is full around exam session.

it is away from the town but it has good access to train station bus stops and walking/cycling is also an option to get into town or the beach.

There is a lot of varieties of societies and all are very welcoming.

Lots of opportunity

Some lectures cram a two hour lecture into 1 hour so they can have a longer lunch break

15

No proper student union bar only cafe where they serve bottled beer. Not many facilities

Mediocre

Yes ideal for study life

Very large selection and welcoming

Not used it

Again, I’ve never visited these places because I am quite set on what I want to do but I’ve heard they are a great help

The seminars are good for assignment help but I don’t like the lectures as they are usually just being read off a slide and can get quite tedious

Yeah it’s good whenever we need to give feedback it is good

Quite good although I feel as though there should be more facilities that are cheaper such as cafes and restaurants as it is all very pricey!

Yes it is good but there definitely needs to be more halls of residence although one of the campuses is near an Aldi which is very helpful

I’m not sure I don’t do anything

Yes I do feel as though we get good feedback for the work we produce as well as getting great support through student councillors as well

Doesn’t help that much considering they mainly just give out leaflets for these things

Most - the ppt is always put up Worst - some lecturers have nothing but pics on their ppts therefore making it impossible to look back at the info that was taught

Representation is great facilities not so much

Decent

University is at a good distance in terms of accommodation and local amenities

There is a big variety of societies and sport that you are able to join

Support is at a decent level considering there is only one uni councellor

We get emailed opportunities for volunteering or skill building

My course allows me a lot of freedom, and i like that. Most days I work independently in the studio, but there are still regular tutorials were tutors will touch in and make sure you’re on track

The students union were super welcoming when I first started, they organised lots of events for freshers, and even now there are still student union led events for the students

There are good number of workshops and facilities, as someone in a creative subject I’m pleased at what is available to me! My only complaint that they don’t have any paint or art supplies :(

Yes, the grand parade campus is right the heart of the city walking distance both housing and the town centre, and the other campuses all have direct bus routes

I don’t hear very much about the societies, but I never sought them out. At the freshers fair there were many societies and teams that looked great if you were interested in that area (I’m jot much of an athlete)

Very good support, the student hub provides help for those struggling financially or with personal issues, within the first month we had a talk about finance that was super helpful

I haven’t looked into it so I can’t offer a reliable answer, but I haven’t heard of anything to help.

I don’t like how little guidance we get, the tutors I have don’t feel approachable or dependable for advice, but some people thrive off of this total independence. The subjects we’re given aren’t very personal or interesting either. The best thing so far has been the workshops with the technicians as they actually take the time to talk to you and help out.

I don’t even know if we have a student union or where it would be, so based of off that I would say quite poor.

The facilities are average. I wish there was more private spaces for students to work independently, such a studios with established places for everyone, but the darkrooms are good.

Yes it’s a 20-25 minute walk, super easy to access.

I personally don’t participate in any of the societies, however I went to the freshers fair when I first moved here, and if you are into sports or extracurricular groups there’s loads of options for everyone,

Not great, I don’t feel like I’d be comfortable approaching my lecturers and the feedback isn’t the most useful as they more just point out what’s not working than pointing out was has worked and being supportive.

There is help in terms of links via emails but no hands-on help as of yet.

Seminars are a lot more helpful than lectures

The SU have not been great this year. Not supporting the lecturers strike, no support for any political parties during the GE

Good but not very much

Our campus is a little out of the way and there is not much on site, but it isn’t too bad

N/a

Some lectures help more than others

I really like that the powerpoints are made available on studentcentral. This makes it a lot easier to go back to certain parts of the module to make extra notes.

The student union bar is a really relaxed space to go and grab a drink.

The university has accommodation halls on campus, as well as a shop, multiple cafes and a bar. It is easy to get to the beach, the marina and supermarkets via the bus or train.

There really is something for everyone at Brighton uni. However, the uni are happy to accept new societies if students feel there is something missing.

Academically, tutors are always willing to give extra support when it's needed and are usually quite quick at replying to emails. There are SSGTs available to speak to about any personal struggles. I really like that the SSGTs are completely separate from course tutors, as it makes it feel more confidential.

Very nice and friendly

Yes

Very good
