Veterinary Science - BVSc

University rating (5)

The vet school are very involved and really want the best for us. They regularly make changes based on our experiences and comments . The curriculum is constantly developing and the accreditations speak for themselves. Staff are friendly and so easy to speak to, never make you feel like you are asking a silly question or that you are unable to push them with your questions if you want to know even more. Bristol city is expensive relative to northern unis and is one of the most expensive outside London despite us getting minimal loan! But Bristol is the epitome of a student city, its vibrant, something for everyone and really does have a small town feel which if you are like me and hate big cities, is perfect!

Veterinary Science: Accelerated Graduate Entry - BVSc

University rating (4)

Not always the most supportive and clear with assignments that are due and not always as understanding something doesn’t go to plan. The vet school in Langford cafeteria is quite limited and a lot more expensive than the main campus There is also limited areas to eat and relax compared to the main campus The content is not well spaced out on blackboard you often have to go into multiple folders to find specific work

Don't do it guys. The most unsupportive university, no wonder we have a mental health crisis. The vet school take in far too many students for them to be able to adequately support any of them. Consistently telling us our exam times/locations within a month before the exam, not allowing for resits of practicals if you missed one for ANY reason and love to ask for student feedback only to not act on any of it, or try and gaslight us into thinking we're in the wrong for giving such feedback. Just don't do it. This degree is hard enough as it is so do it at a university that will support you.

MSc Public Health

University rating (4)

Bristol is a wonderful place to live and study. The facilities at the university are quite good but I think that there are too many students for how many libraries there are.

Education PhD

University rating (4)

I really appreciate the library for its peaceful environment, which is perfect for focusing on my studies. However, I've noticed a few areas that could be enhanced for a better experience. For instance, it's great that there are vending machines on the ground floor to grab a quick sandwich or water when hungry, but the absence of a microwave and a water heater is a bit of an inconvenience. This is especially true for times when someone, particularly girls during their menstrual cycle or anyone with a stomachache, might need warm food or a hot drink. It would be wonderful if the school could consider adding these facilities to make our library time even more comfortable.
