I love that I’m studying to be a nurse and I can’t wait to graduate. I am struggling financially though and nobody can help me. The cafe is good at the university and the skills labs they offer are really interesting and practical but due to me not driving it takes me a hour and half to travel one way to the university. It’s not easily accessible in my opinion and there was no accommodation to choose from in Stafford.
The university is a good place to study it has a wide variety of facility's for the students to use and the labs are clean and the computers work well. There are some areas I'm not too sure on like getting directions because of the name of some of the rooms when i first started it took me some time to locate some of the rooms I had lectures in but once you figure out the system it becomes much easier to navigate the facility's. The staff at the university are all very helpful if you have any questions or problems the staff are very quick in their replies by email or finding them is rather simple and their advice is useful and can help student a lot. Honestly I've never really step foot in the student union but I heard from a friend that it's a helpful place to gather information and their is always someone available to talk to when you go in. If i was to change anything in the university is would be that sometime the key-cards to the rooms can sometimes stop functioning for no reason and block access to the buildings that you are trying to enter, I think if they added a digital one to the beacon app that the students could use to sign into the building with and then give a reason as to why they are using it rather than a card (E.g The card isn't functioning so I had to use the app to open building door) and then the app could tell them where to go to have their card reactivated.
The facilities at Staffordshire University are amazing! The amount of help available to students when studying is phenomenal! My only critique would be the amount of spaces on the car park. I do appreciate there is additional parking off site however, this 10 minute jaunt in the rain is not the best way to start the day.
I wish the r place is more livelier but the facilities is amazing
Really makes u feel welcomed and the lectures can’t do enough for you ,didn’t feel like going to uni last year but I’m glad I came to staffs and made some great freinds
The module delivery seems to be a struggle for the teaching team at times
I am happy because I have chosen to study Health and Social Care at Staffordshire University. All the time I have received support from my lecturers regarding my assignments.
The simulation equipment is fantastic and great practice for placement. The campus is dedicated to healthcare students which I like. The communication and support from tutors and course leaders is fantastic. It's always clear, direct and prompt and I feel very well supported. I never have an issue with parking. The tools such as blackboard and beacon are really user friendly and have all of the materials needed for academic success.

I enjoy how friendly the staff and other students are. along with how willing they are to help those who ask. There is a lot of food facilities and choices though my favourite places to go is either pavilion for burritos for lunch and Squeeze box for a hot/cold drink and some oatcakes in the morning.
The facilities are well equipped and have everything needed for study in my course, however they seem very unlcean at times, especially the epic games lab.

Good support but feel like the black heath lane campus is the forgotten child compared to the other campus

My best expeirences is meeting new people while going to places like the verve which is very cozy and welcoming and learning new skills to use in the future in classes. My worst experience is the union sometimes not dealing with certain people or problems that need to be sorted.

Staffs is my local University and it is great that as a mature student I can remain at home and still study at such a wonderful university, I consider myself very lucky. The student support is fantastic and the lecturers are all very approachable and friendly, they also make lectures interesting and engaging. The facilities especially for science based subjects is fantastic. The campus is always clean, well managed and has a calm relaxing feel to it. I particularly like the amount of study space that is now open 24 hours a day. I am thoroughly enjoying being at Staffs.
The best aspects is the support that you get from teachers. You can book an AST for 10-20 mins with a chosen teacher who will help you with what you’re struggling on. The worst aspects is the timetable for my course. It is all over the place and sometimes I’m only in once during the day.
Enjoying studying with Staffs. Good facilities and support from staff.
Good facilities and teaching but student support is a little bit limited. It would be helpful if we had more personalised help with our assignments.

Staffordshire university has amazing supportive lecturers who have a variety of different teaching methods to help each and every student. Lectures are engaging and are a range of both theoretical and practical lessons. It could be improved by making the parking more accessible/ closer to the university as overflow parking is further away and often can make students who travel further late.
We have a good amount of time both in university and at home which gives us different learning experiences. It is supportive to those with children and who have other commitments making the course flexible to all. More time with tutors would be useful to students to discuss the modules and overall course as well as discussing personal issues if needed.
