PR communications and the media

University rating (5)

I am enjoying every aspect of the University of Gloucestershire. There is no judgment on you; for example, I am 35 years old, studying for an MA in PR, and a single mother with two children. Not once have I felt like I’m too old to do this. I also needed financial support and was given it after I sent in some evidence of a lack of funds. There is a lot of practical and theoretical study, which helps me understand better because I am more of a physical and visual learner. There are also multiple breaks, which helps to break up the days, which is fantastic because I have BPD, and I tend to get distracted very quickly, and this allows me to focus better. The building is modern, quite big and very clean. The canteen area is always clean with fresh food to choose from each day at reasonable prices. There is also a bus stop right outside for people who do not drive and may live a long distance (like I do). I have given the student union three stars only because I haven’t experienced it just yet. However, I have heard positive things. There is also a lift for people who are unable to walk up the stairs, which is very inclusive, and there are ramps to the doors that have lower outside flooring. Another thing that I find beneficial is the My Glos app! I am often quite forgetful and can log into my app and search for what I need with no problem. The only thing that maybe could be better, in my opinion, is having some meat options that cater to people who eat halal food rather than them having to go for the vegetarian option. I noticed that a lot of people who would typically eat halal food would have to bring in their own foods or eat a potato or salad, which, I feel, isn’t very inclusive or fair. Also, the canteen staff are fantastic! Always smiling, polite, well mannered and patient. I didn’t always see this type of professionalism at my previous place of study! Overall, this is a very well-kept, respectable university, and I am delighted to have chosen this institution to study for my Master's Degree.

Sports Journalism (with placement) BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The equipment is amazing as good as a working sky studio. All our lectures are working journalist which means they are up to date on the latest advances in technology. The radio studios, tv studios and podcast studios are top of the range with everything you need.

Law LLB (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best part about the University of Gloucestershire is the student support. There are personal tutors to help us with, there is a student achievement team to help us with our assessments. Furthermore, the career studio also has multiple opportunities that help students with not only coursework but also any and every type of professional help. The faculty members are also very helpful and are always ready to help students. The student union can be better with better opportunities for students. Enhancing the student union to provide greater opportunities for students is essential. While they profess to prioritize student welfare, the current structure often feels distant and inaccessible.

Ecology and Environmental Science BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

Not a massively social campus at FCH, no real union area etc. But it's located in a great place and the support is generally really good. Has a smaller feel where lectures know you which is nice.

International Business MSc

University rating (5)

well everything is best i have not found anything worst. i like how they have given space for pray room. the thing that would be improved would be that there is no halal food for muslims. as a muslim i find hard to eat something because of halal food. if that comes into considerate that would be a plus point because of growing community of muslims in university of gloucestershire.

Great atmosphere Lecturers are supportive More study spaces in FCH campus would be ideal. Canteen could be improved in FCH for example more food choices, and cheaper prices for students to be able to afford.
