Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

University rating (3)

Brighton is great if you can afford it, housing is ridiculously expensive to the point where most students can't afford to not have a job. There is support from the uni, however, it is hard to obtain because so many people need it. Some of the lecturers are good, but some don't seem to know what they're on about, to the point where if you ask them for help, the information they provide will be marked as wrong on assessments. The students union don't represent the student body views. There is one student bar across 4 campuses and it isn't any cheaper than other local pubs, sometimes it's more expensive.

Biomedical Science BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

There’s a lot of really great opportunities to do extra activities for my course and related courses, and the lecturers are incredibly helpful. However, in terms of societies and making it easier for new students to socialise, there could be a greater choice in societies (especially in comparison to the other university nearby). Some of the lecture halls could be updated too, from poor acoustics leading to less than desirable sound quality in lecture recordings and lack of space to be able to charge a laptop if needed

Architecture BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

The university of Brighton staff always strives to help the students and support them, as well as managing the students well being wether it’s mental health or academic wise. Something that can be improved is the grading system, I think personally that the grading system is all over the place and not as structured and the staff may think as well as not considering attendance in the grading system, which I think may be a bit unfair for the students who work hard all semester and attend every session and then other students who don’t attend and yet in the end submit final works and get a chance to pass, so I think that should definitely be taken into consideration!

Very pretty campus and great student support. Brighton is very expensive to live in though, and the student culture at times is very focused on drinking. However, there are non-drinking societies and things to do.

Design Engineering BEng (Hons)

University rating (3)

The university is in Brighton which a pretty energetic city, the University reflects the eclectic, artsy and professional vibe of the city. The majority of the professors that I’ve encountered are strong in their discipline and willing to help when you’re hungry to learn. They always encourage. There are opportunities to get involved with a wide variety of activities such as sports, trips, locally and beyond, clubs, etc. the student body has a variety of individuals as diverse as the animals in the Amazon Jungle.

Primary Education 5-11 with QTS BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best part about being at the university of Brighton is the level is support. Both my PAT (personal Academic Tutor) and other lecturers are very warm and welcoming and assure that you can reach out to them if you are struggling and will check in with you if they believe you may be struggling. Alongside that there are many other contacts provided by the university (both internal and external) that you can contact if you are struggling mentally that are quick to try and provide the correct support for you. So far, the worst thing would be the lack of services on the falmer campus. Whilst there are many cafes and restaurants (which are of an excellent standard) there is a need for a real shop on campus without having to rely on sussex campus or the couple of shelves. A small express or corner shop would make it a lot easier when needing a couple of bits between big food shops.

English Literature BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

The student union is NOT for students… it supported the institution during teaching strikes rather than the striking staff, and standing with students: pricing at BSU venues are also very high considering the whole appeal is to be affordable, student-oriented spaces. As a disabled student I was asked what my plans to “fix” my disability were from support staff from the school of education, support has improved drastically since moving to the school of humanities.
