Warsash maritime school is hopelessly mismanaged with classes without lecturers, hastily cobbled together modules such as orals prep, and ever changing term dates and timetables which are not communicated to students. There is a good reason that the school is being investigated by the MCA. Some teachers are excellent, however most of the good ones have left by this point due to criminal underinvestment by Solent university. Our maritime campus has moved in universal non purposed classrooms. The students union has been poor at following up any student complaints in the past and the warsash student body has no faith in their ability to mediate or solve problems. A case in point would be where warsash stated in 2nd year there would be guarunteee accommodation spaces, only to pull this out from under us whilst the cohort was at sea, they then after pressure arranged a deal with a private student accommodation provider however priced these spaces so that college would make a profit from them, knowing most students had no other choice at this point. I will not be returning to Solent for my chief mates license and most people in my cohort agree.
Good equipment
Good Location for commuting. Could be improved by more support from lecturers
Welcoming
Social life is good, good facilities and good lectures
simulator centre is pretty good
Worst-Early lectures
Lack of support
Bad communication
It’s a small campus so easy to negotiate
The best parts are the course and my society which is cheer and dance - silent ravens. The worst part is sometimes the area feels unsafe
great place to study and lots of supports and great facilities
the people
The best part are the experiences you get to partake in such as mooting. The worst part is the library tends to be smaller although there are other libraries close by that you can attend
Both the best and worst aspect would be not enough time in campus.
Best: Schedule, Staff with experience, Focus on application, Minimal social pressure, Professional/ Focused student body Worst: Disorganisation, Large scale renovations causing disruptions
Best aspects is to receive a good support in every way possible. No worst aspects
A lot of support when issues are happening


The university is really good and give many opportunities and I would recommend to anyone to come here
Best parts are the practical in my course and having 1-2-1s with my tutor
Definitely improve on the accommodation being more up to date and making the WiFi better as we use a lot of it
