There are a lot of spaces to study, some serious such as the library and some more chilled such as SU. There are low contact hours but they are improving significantly from last year.
Best - lots of study spaces and different atmospheres, staff friendly and mostly helpful Worst - anxiety about seminars and not doing the right thing or saying something stupid
.
Best: settling in, SU is great and offers useful services like jobshop and careers fair. The societies are good and there are always lots of socials!! Worst: covid really hit my year group and the support since then hasn’t been as good as it could be e.g making us sit at home and do more online workshops even though we are past that stage now and for 4th years we’ve missed out on the student uni experience compared to other years
Students Union offers an incredible range of societies, events, and live shows that no other universities have. The study spaces are everywhere and all easy to get to.

The best aspects: - social (meet people to learn from) - plenty of room to work and focus within the campus - modern buildings close by - relevant modules and a mixture of lecturers with their own learning styles Worst aspects: - can be overwhelming as everything seems to happen all at once - workload can be a lot as every module expects X number of hours on their module outside of classes - sometimes the longer lectures are unnecessarily and not as efficient as the shorter 50 minute ones
There needs to be more in place for lecturers who clearly aren't here to teach, there is a vast difference in effort and ability to teach between lecturers.

The location is excellent and facilities too
I like how accessible everything is- University right by city center


Lots of study spaces and excellent student life, 1st year accommodation allows to meet people easily.
Not as much contact hours as expected, but content is interesting.
Good location, but small rooms and experienced lots of issues with damp/ mould.
