Good mix of practical and theoretical learning, supportive in finding internships

Very cheap with a good standard of living, just very far away. FYI these halls no longer exist as of 2025

The course content and teachers and guest lecturers from the industry make the theoretical learning very industry oriented. However, I wish the classes were not conducted so intensively with 9-5 routines through a whole week with complex group assignments tucked in.

Best: the facilities and the content Worst: occasionally the teaching methods and amount of content covered in one lecture

Best: amenities and room space/layout Worst: quite expensive at times, and my room is smaller than my flatmates, but still the same price

The employability and placement team has been brilliant in providing support for the placement search, helping us network with previous placement students, and editing our CV and cover letter. However, I do believe the professors can provide more support and feedback for assignments, as that seems to be an area that's the most complained about.

Everything has been brilliant, the cleaners are brilliant at keeping places clean even in an accommodation with 14 people. The accommodation is always warm from the harshest of cold. Spacious rooms. Only complaint is the accommodations are so old, I believe no amount of cleaning can purify the carpets, and they should be changed - in the bedroom and corridors.

Doing a PhD in sports science is extremely versatile. There are a lot of different avenues of research available with staff who are leading experts in their respective fields. The sports science facilities are excellent! The labs house the same equipment that you'd find in the most elite sports environments e.g. Olympics, Premier League football, NFL etc. Learning how to use advanced equipment for measuring human performance helps to build a key skill set that can be applied to both research and real world practice within elite sport.

My lecturers are incredible. They have such knowledge and expertise in the field. Research methods is where an improvement could be made. We have a good amount of contact time and opportunity to research out regarding the content.

The online resources are great and the course design is clear so this helps any confusion. The lecturing team are always so well informed and ready to help students so this is great when things do get confusing. Students are often at the heart of the teaching and listened too so lecturers act on feedback. The course content has lots of different topics to choose from too.

You have everything you need and it is well run but everything is incredibly cheap, tacky and poor quality, e.g the materials/equipment e.g. microwaves, cookers, mattresses, carpets, showers, etc are the cheapest possible it seems. Air ventilation can be poor too, like the hallways feel really stale. One of the biggest problems with materials/design is how little focus there is on noise reduction, because if someone is having a party or simply moving around late/early, you can hear everything. That said, you adapt and get used to heavy door slams and random banging sounds. And despite the poor quality of everything you have everything you need to get by, you just don't get by in an accommodation you would recall fondly as comfortable

Nice and interactive lectures, great personalities

Kept well and clean, can be loud sometimes but is expected of uni halls, walls are very sound-transparent unfortunately

Yep, good.

I need better bed. My is not good so I need a replacement of my bed. It make me uncomfortable and sleep less. I can feel the spring of bed.

All lectures have been in person as well as seminars, with lecturers having good office hours

Great location as well as secure and safe buildings makes this a great accommodation
