OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
First and second year was much better, but ever since we moved campuses uni seems to be doing it all this just for profit and doesn't really care about their students
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
There is a department that offers career advice for free
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Lectures can be redundant and they keep repeating the same stuff since year 1, which is just boring. Some materials online are very chaotic, some are very organised

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?
I am heavily involved, but after we transferred to a new campus, SU is a joke. They got less funding for sports and more for mental health, yet nobody can see any changes in helping students cope with their mental health. Sports, which used to be a focus, it's a priority. SU as a whole just doesnt seem to be organised and looks like their are doing nothing.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
Lack of computer rooms, lecture rooms are messy and uncomfortable and at times you won't even face your lecturer, as the tables are just bizzare
City Life
What’s the city life like?
No shops, homeless people everywhere, crime and only few pubs/night clubs that are pretty poor. Not many great restaurants
Clubs and Societies
What are the clubs and societies like?
There is quite a lot of nice club and societies, however there is been an issue with students engagement, due to problems at SU... So clubs aren't getting as many interested students as in previous years
Student Support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
My tutors were normally pretty good, some were excellent, some forget to reply to emails and are disorganised.... Never used counselling, but non-academic staff seems to be judgy towards us and security staff pretends to be police
