Best: Excellent support and education. Fantastic tutors! Help is always available. Worse: Needs to hace more support for travel expenses.
Amazing support from all members of staff, new and old It’s amazing knowing that even after a member of staff changes their lead course job, they will still have the doors open for you to talk Campus needs modernising, I feel it’s lacking technology and facilities associated to theatres
The lecturers and course leads seem to be very knowledgeable. The union shops are convenient and there's plenty of places to get coffee. The availability of PCs to work on during the day isn't very good as there's often classes in all of the PC rooms, making it difficult to find somewhere to work.
Knowledgeable and friendly tutors, as well as lots of opportunities for on the job experience. Could be improved by more focus on organising the course and making changes to be more accommodating to students with childcare arrangements
The tutors and staff are very attentive and always happy to help!
Forensic investigation is an interesting course, staffs facilities are very modern and amazing and we have great links with police forces and employers. However, many lectures feel like a waste of time as lecturers tend to just read off a power-point most of the time and many people have to commute long distances for very short sessions. Some modules this year have also not been the greatest and assessments sometimes aren't well explained.
The support for students with learning disabilities is not great. Communication is very poor.
What makes this uni a great place of study is the facilities and equipment available to teaching the students. There is so much available to teach and practice real life situations which enables us to work better in our placements. The only improvement that could be added is the library facility at the blackheath lane campus. Although it is amazing with it's books, it is limited due to space at the uni.
It’s really close to where I live so ideal. Doing film production we get access to a wide range of equipment

My teachers are great and the course is really interesting, the support is really good too. The student accommodation could be better and the area is a bit meh though.
It has alot of good facilities (for example the recording studio for my course) that I feel makes the experience so much better and worth the tuition fees to be honest. I think something that could be improved would be the type of accommodations provided by the school as alot of it are not the best.

First gen student
Staffs uni facilities are always being improved and always kept up to date with the highest spec technologies, they students are all friendly. However, the support is not there from the staff I can only speak for the business degree, but I have felt very disappointed with my course and lectures
Socially i haven’t had much involvement however teaching and everything has been good and there’s lots of support
The facilities for my course are amazing and there are ways in lecture and outside of to learn and reach your full potential. However, some lecture material are outdated and use things from previous years that are no longer relevant. The campus is nice and in a very good location right next to the train station, shops are also quite close by. The student life and culture is nice and there are lots of good societies, the union itself has some issues and could definitely be better, there is some clashes between union rules and societies at the moment I think. The union shop is a bit too expensive too
The lovely staff, lectures, the support provided for students which includes help with assignment, help with finances, and help with providing equipments for students in need. The friendly environment, studying rooms and the close distance from home.
The support I have received at university is amazing. I was previously doing another course, Computer Science, however it took a toll on my mental health as I was not enjoying it and forcing myself to do it. I eventually took a break in my second year and the uni supported me amazingly, quick responses, and a quick resolution that allowed me to transfer onto another course at the start of the next academic year. The newest building, Catalyst, is where I currently study and the overall atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and the style is very modern. There are no real downsides to the university, with the only somewhat irk I have is that the campus is split up into 2 sections with a housing estate in between, it would look nicer altogether however this isnt a complaint I have
There is lots of resources available during lessons as well as being able to book skills labs outside of lessons, the tutors have lots of knowledge and are very supportive inside and outside of the subject
The university is great, student life is hard when you live at home alone and have to work to support you. The staff are easy to get on with and very helpful and down to earth. Although we seem to do alot of home studying then play around abit when we get to uni
4.2
Catalyst building is so good to study in
It’s hard get in contact with some lecturers
