We are consistently being sent emails from the universities careers hub, and they come into our lecturers regularly and promote what they are doing. There is also a centre on our main campus available for drop ins, and there is an online portal dedicated to careers. Alongside this, they run employment and EYE training seminars throughout the year to promote employability.

There is a great amount of discussion in seminars. There are always handouts that are handed out the week before so everyone can normally join in the debate. The lecturer's are also always willing to help, and if anything is unclear they have a great response time. There is a clear set up on what we need to do week by week in order to make the most of the seminars. Lectures are clear and nine times out of ten are linked to the handouts we receive.

I do not get involved with the student union as I do not have a lot of free time with commuting and working. However, my friends are involved and often sing their praises.

I love the cosiness of the university. If you are looking for a city with small town privileges then this place is fantastic. The campus is clearly laid out, and my English building 'The Vicarage' is a Gothic style building and absolutely stunning. The library is great and had areas for group study, individual study, silent study, quite study etc, and this makes planning and booking spaces very convenient for different tasks. I have very rarely struggled to find a book in the library, and if it isn't in the library I have often found it through the library's inter-loan system.

The city is always busy. But, covered in cobbled streets and mock-Tudor buildings had a cosiness about it. Filled with big-brand store and independent cafes its very lovely. It is also very close to the primary campus. The night-life is equally as good, there are some lovely bars and pubs and a few bigger clubs which are often filled with student deals.

I have always been pointed in the right direction for support. My tutors have always been willing to see me, no matter how silly I may have thought the problem to be. Their feedback on essays is also fantastic as they have always gave areas of improvement and encourage us to discuss feedback in individual meetings. Importantly, tutors aren't just there to talk about essay feedback or the academic side of university, they will talk to you about personal issues you maybe having too. Also, if I have ever forgotten to ask something, they are very easily accessible by email. If it isn't a tutor you want to talk to, the university provide peer mentors which consists of second and third year students who have training on how to mentor other students and they are another form of support.

They sell an idea of being linked with other external companies for the year in industry but when the time came around there was little to no help finding a placement. most had to move away from chester

One of the tutors for Software Engineering and their team in the IC were extremely helpful and had no problem lending a hand or advise in their free time. However the rest of the tutors no longer seemed bothered about teaching relevant subjects. For example learning web forms which are completely out of date. External lecturers were also no up to standard with ignoring the 2 massive computer whiteboards and instead using a small easel that all of 3 students could see.
