Staffs uni is very local and for people and tends to get mature students and gives us the diversity around campus

Very nice campus, buildings and outside are upket nicely and it's clear the uni take pride in this. A good range of eatery's and cafe's about the campus with great quality food and pricing. Catalyst bistro and cafe especially, as well as the burrito bar. Classrooms are always clean and maintained, with a nice handful of free rooms that are kept mostly free for personal study time. Computer facilities are abundant and PCs kept up to date with needed software. The availability to rent out hardware was also very nice, from graphics tablet pens to cameras for more film-focused modules. Little bad to say about the campus and facilities, although with this years rebrand, many signs and labels are still outdated many months later. Most notable being the large signs on landmark buildings. Personally, I felt this rebrand an unneccessary expense, but it did not effect studies or quality of student life.
Close accom and great acitivities and student social life however being in stoke on trent means not much to do but the stuff at the uni but overall great place to spent your time studying
Very supportive during my studies . They contributed a lot tny achievements
Honestly Staffordshire is genuinely a really nice place, the Uni is very diverse and interesting. The catalyst is basically a massive 3 storey library and it's one of the best environments that I've been in. There's many rooms where you can have a bit of peace and quiet if you want to study or just have your own time. And the multiple virtual screens make it very helpful to watch movies with your friends if you choose to lol. I've watched a whole lot of random stuff with my friends on there. There isn't really any complaints I have about the Uni apart from sometimes people are quite loud and noisy but that's not the Uni's fault tho. I appreciate the teachers for my course because they actually help me understand the work because Uni work is definitely over whelming at times. So I'm grateful that theres teachers that take time out to help their students because they could just leave after the lesson ended. I really like Staffordshire Uni. A quick note though is just in terms of price. The accommodation price is quite expensive though. If it could somehow be reduced it would help a lot of people out. But apart from that Uni has been a good experience for me. Thanks Staffordshire

Overall, my university experience has been very positive. One of the best aspects is the excellent student support provided by the university. The staff are approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed academically and personally. Whether it is academic guidance, wellbeing support, or administrative assistance, there is always someone available to offer help and reassurance. This strong support system has made a significant difference to my confidence and development throughout my studies. However, one of the most challenging aspects of my university experience is the parking situation. The main campus car park fills up very quickly, especially during peak hours, which can be frustrating. Although there is an additional parking site available, it is located approximately 10–15 minutes’ walk from the main campus. While this is a helpful alternative, it can be inconvenient, particularly in poor weather or when running late for lectures. Despite the parking challenges, the overall experience for me remains positive.
Staffs university has a range of facilities on campus, bringing a tight knit community throughout the events that take place for example in the ember lounge. The food and shops on site are brilliant and resourceful. The union are so supportive and lecturers give you the feel that they actually want you to succeed.
Our lecturers are really really kind and supportive and we have access to a lot of processes available for us to use as fine art students. We are learning to adapt to a rewritten course in September for L6.

I study at the University of Staffordshire's London campus, and from day one, I felt like I was part of a supportive, close-knit community. I chose this university because I prefer practical, hands-on learning as opposed to sitting in a large lecture theatre. The university has a unique setup that facilitates teamwork and prepares you for what to expect when entering the industry. Also, the technical equipment available, for instance, the dedicated internal server and Cisco routers, has enabled students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical tasks and assessments in modules such as Ethical Hacking and Cyber Operations & Network Security. Furthermore, the London campus offers many industry-recognised certifications from Cisco, EC-Council, and Amazon, which, beyond university studies, provide additional opportunities to stand out. For me personally, taking advantage of such opportunities contributed towards me securing a 12-month placement at The Walt Disney Company, working as an Information Security Intern.
The best aspect of this university is the lecturers and the support they give. Over and over again they have gone above and beyond for me and I appreciate every single one of them. The support they've given me im forever grateful for.
I think the buildings are great and provide everything students need. I've had great experiences with staff and student support.
I love how there is so much support especially with finding placement years and how the staff is so friendly you can’t even tell there aren’t students. There is such a broad diverse community which makes everyone feel welcome.
They have knowledgeable teachers and the equipment on campus is 5*. However, the uni lacks providing appropriate support for students who have mental health problems, especially during placements.
Student Union Events are great The worst part is that we didn't have graphic trip this year which was very upsetting
Best experience was the Wednesday night's out. Worst was the area outside of uni
Its is great for the games courses and the facilities are great in terms of providing industry standard equipment. However4, the stoke area is very boring and there's not a great night life for students
The university as a whole are very supportive and inclusive of all dynamics. For someone who has not been in education for 20 years, the University of Staffordshire have made the transition from full time work to education very easy. The university is extremely welcoming and very understanding when it comes to personal circumstances. Mentors are on hand when support or advice is required. There is a constant friendly atmosphere. All in all i have made the right decision and very content with how the course is being delivered and the support openly available.

The campus is such a chill and relaxed place to be. Everything is easy to find, the staff are all friendly and helpful, the support team can really make a difference.
Overall, my lecturers are all amazing people. They all want everyone to succeed and do well both at uni and outside when we eventually graduate.
Clarice Cliff Court is such a nice place to stay in. It's ensuit, so the rooms can be small, but it has its own unique, cosy feel to it. However, there is a lack of security, with most of the time the only thing keeping your room and belongings safe is just your key
