Great lecturers and course content, only met tutor once by coincidence and had one conversation in 12 weeks of study, however it was a good session and all lectures are in person making for a good experience

Quite lacking in social life, a few pubs and bars are there but no SU bar and only one club, slightly out of town. Quite a quiet place but good for those who aren't into the uni social life.

I am very happy with all my tutors. They are really friendly and supportive. Also FutureMe online program is such a great way to gain and improve our skills as future employees.

Great location, close to town center.

The course team has adapted exceptionally well to the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Lecture delivery has been just as good offline than it has online. Lecturers are always happy to give feedback on work and are quick responding to emails. They are constantly pushing us to do our absolute best, and to challenge ourselves. I have developed excellent relationships with my lecturers in the almost four years I've been here. The support for the MA course especially has been wonderful.

The course itself has good subjects selected within it, to fully prepare us for any business type role that we go for un the future after university. The lecturers have switched back to in-person teaching with the lifting of restrictions, which in my opinion, is a good thing as I learn better in person. However, I learn better through essay style assignments. We have had a range of assignment formats, which is not a bad thing as it has enabled me to step outside of my comfort zone for writing.

Where the UoS campus is based, it is a rougher side of town, but in the day it is beautiful, with the quayside being a highlight of Ipswich. There is a town centre only a 10 minute walk from the university and buses leading to other sides of the town and beyond. There is a train station leading to London and Cambridge.

Being in the classroom, I really feel gets the best out of me. Having group discussions and being able to ask questions, and not having to rely on poor internet quality is always a bonus! Online learning is a challenge because there are so many things that have to work, to get the most out of online learning, for example internet, computer working etc. Being able to actually do practices helps me to understand what's happening and why it happens, rather than it being described to me through a webcam at home.

It is a great place, with great people. I had moments when I struggled to get through, but with the help provided from lectures and everyone at University of Suffolk I managed to see the bright side and to sort out whatever I was going through at that time. Thank you!������

My lecturers and tutor have all been fantastic. They worked hard to accommodate blended learning under difficult circumstances and they have done a great job offering a flexible learning experience. I can engage in person in the classroom, or online via text chat or using a microphone. If I miss a class they are all recorded so I can catch up later, so this has been invaluable in terms of managing my childcare responsibilities during Covid. The teaching hours are sensibly programmed - all my lectures take place on a Monday, with seminars following throughout the week. I can reach out to my tutor/lecturer/technician at any point and they are always responsive and keen to help. I have secured a job in a related field, which I would not have done had I not completed a specific module on this course which inspired me.

The university has great links with employers in the area - particularly Suffolk County Council and Suffolk Constabulary. The town is fairly small but has everything you need. There are plenty of bars, pubs, restaurants. The waterfront area where the university is is really lovely. The university is not far from the train station which has regular trains to London.

Usually 2 days in person 2 days online but it varies for each module. For some you may be in 5 days a week.

NEED more support finacially for students on placement. The uni is in Ipswich, my placement is a 2 hour drive from there. the uni doesnt cover the cost of petrol as i living with my parents (not a situation i want to be in while at uni) and they wont cover the cost of an additional accommodation or even support finding a suitable accomodation for students. there seems to be a lack of communication and support and they keep changing the course for every year. my practice educator is excellent and very supportive. However, i do not reccommend this university.

Good course Director
