I’m loving it however I feel like they aren’t really strict on us which makes us a little lazier then I was at college. The lecturers are lovely and nice however you do need to listen in lecturers as after wards you will forget everything and sometimes there isn’t opportunity to look it back unless you ask the tutor to upload it.

By having regular discussions and helping us on placement

OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
The course is amazing. I would highly recommend it and can not fault it at all. The university is terrible. It offers no support at all, the facilities are always broken and in need of repair and they don’t ever care. My course is 5/5, my university is 0/5
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
My course is VERY good at offering employability, with everyone getting a guaranteed interview with the police. The university itself runs the changemaker program, but it doesn’t really fit with my course.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
My course is very personal. It is a very small course with only around 40 students. My lectures are very good and talk to us as equals. They always help with any problems we have and are brilliant all round. I have no problems with my course.

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
Absolutely terrible. We never hear from them except when they want money.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
Everything is always breaking. The university itself is just over a year old (they rebuilt and relocated) and the wifi never works, the doors have already had to be replaced for the senete building, and the gates still beep everytime you walk through them. We didn’t have working fire alarms in the halls for the whole of first year.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Very good location. 5 minute walk to morrisons and asda, and a 10 minute walk to aldi and lidl. It is a 15 minute walk to town and they run a 50p bus service (during the week). There is plenty of private accommodation with most no more than a 30 minute walk away. The halls are on campus, literally a 30 second walk away from the learning hub.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Plenty of sports to choose from, everything you could think of, the societies are very lacking though. Nothing really is offered.
Student Support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
The course support is amazing. The lectures really care and have helped me throughout my family issues and give so much support. The university is terrible. I suffer from depression and when I went to see the university counsellor they threatened to kick me out because I was struggling with my mental health. They treated me terribly and I felt terrible and it led to me trying to take my life. I now actively avoid the university knowing about my health and I have been unable to ask for support because of them.
