I have been on an industrial placement year over the last 12 months, but the few lectures/ meetings I have had were all online - Microsoft Teams.

Not all campuses have all the facilities or as good facilities as other campuses

No

There are many job opportunities provided to students in Chester.

Overall I believe the courses were taught well however sometimes it was really confusing as to what we actually had to do to achieve high grades. It sometimes seemed like we were just expected to know a lot more than what we were told to do or taught.

Great, especially the Binks building which is where the majority of my lectures take place.

There is always lots of ways to join in with events hosted by the university, especially during the covid pandemic.

Yes

I studied a careers module in my second year to help me decided what I would like to do after graduation. My lecturers have offered my advice and guidance.

My final years was taught online. I found it difficult in the first term to adjust to such drastic changes; however, my lecturers were extremely supportive. The teaching hours remained the same.

Although my campus is small, the University offers a gym, library, PC spaces and student lounge. I do wish the library had a wider range of books.

There are people on campus that offer student support.

Yes

Cohorts are too big so hard to learn well due to being in a large group. I chose this uni due to the clinical skills lab however we have hardly used it.

Good facilities

Good support, I have received amazing support from my personal tutor

No

I have not been able to visit the University of Chester however the institution that I complete the QTS side of the course is very accessible with great facilities.

No

My course was primarily done online. I had one or two in person lectures for the first week or so but after that everything was on Microsoft Teams.

I didn’t get to use them much this year as I only stayed on campus for two weeks before moving back home when the second lockdown happened. From what I used it was good but I can’t judge them as accurately as they were restricted and you had to book ahead of time. The swimming pool was good and everything was decently clean.

The university has been accommodating to my needs and had good communication even though it was primarily remote

No

My course is taught online at the moment due to Covid-19. I have officially finished 2nd year and just have work based learning placement left to do. I had Wednesdays off which allowed me to catch up on course studies and assignments.

Excellent services and facilities available, back in 1st year I used the library a lot but in 2nd year not so much due to covid. The facilities are clean and all staff are friendly and extremely helpful.

Well-being is very important to me and mental health as I study counselling skills and have experienced mental health issues recently. At the university the well-being team is excellent and having access to your PAT (Personal Academic Tutor) allows for 1-2-1 sessions if you’re struggling with anything.

I'm not sure how I am going to be prepared for the zoo industry with just 2 hours of practical sessions per week. It's simply not enough; we need more 'hands on' sessions.

I study zoo management at University Centre Reaseheath. Majority of our lectures are online. We have only 2 hours per week of practical sessions, which are great, but unfortunately not enough. Our tutors are passionate, knowledgeable and experienced in different fields. Unfortunately lockdowns haven't been great for students, as we lost some presious hours of practical sessions and staring at the computer proved to be hard to stay focused and motivated.. but our great tutors try hard to keep our focus on the end goal.

Reaseheath provides vital equipment (eg laptops). It's a clean, friendly environment and its facilities are in hight standard.

I know where I can access it, as we are all well informed.
