Lovely campus, amazing staff and lecturers, good food and accomadation
Lovely experience
Very best university and comfort zone I like the most in this uni
Location is great with parks, cafes, restaurants, pubs, as well as bus routes and easy train access to London/Birmingham. The campus is always clean and tidy, lots of seating/places to study with accommodation for students with additional needs. I'm concerned about funding issues as teaching staff face layoffs, especially in creative courses.
It makes a great university to study as it is affordable and i believe the course structure could be improved.
The best part of my university experience has been being involved in different student services and getting the chance to help other students in every way possible. It’s really rewarding to be part of a supportive community where you can make a difference and see others succeed because of your guidance. It has helped me grow personally and professionally while building strong connections with people from diverse backgrounds. On the other hand, one of the challenges I faced as an international student during my first year was the lack of knowledge about how things work here, especially when it came to opportunities like finding part‑time jobs on campus. I feel the university could promote these services and opportunities more effectively so that new students, especially those coming from abroad, can make the most of them right from the start.
Good vibe, sometimes hard to connect with student life as a home student from northampton
The UON Campus is great - brilliant buildings that are light and bright, with lots of spaces to work and meet up with classmates. The services offered - particularly Student Futures, and the Learning Development Team are brilliant for supporting learning. The parking options are not the best, lots of competition for commuting students to be able to park on site. And more healthy food options would be great.
I love the support and extra activities the university provides. Having the opportunity to work within the university while studying is amazing. I can not fault anything about the university.
The university offers a lot of support for students - ranging from careers advice to welfare support. As a third year I have received a lot of support leading up to my dissertation and with final assignments. However, student life could be improved with more events and activities to get everybody involved!
I like the community and the new build. It could be improved by lectures being fairly distributed
The support of the university towards students
The small class sizes and support from staff.
Lots of support and facilities are excellent.
It’s great because you have nature, and many different building based on courses, great place to socialise and discover yourself
I think the uni is great overall.
