I love uni! The student Union is very good, there is a lot to offer. The city is lovely and again has a lot to offer. The campus is lovely and surrounded by parks.
I really like Wednesday nights yolo at our students union.They are so fun.However,ways to improve would be to have more areas to study .
Convenient location
There’s always events and things to do.
Library facilities are really good. Great city - lots to do. City centre is great. Lovely walks nearby and Cardiff bay is a great place to visit. SU good location. Wide variety of societies. I don’t think my university students union is very inclusive to minority groups. Campuses are quite spread out around the city.
Good student union and facilities on campus
Best SU and a great city. However, student support and awareness of the support available needs to be improved!
The curriculum is very good. The teacher is very professional. He can patiently solve the problems encountered in learning and provide help. The campus is fully equipped, and the student union can often organise some rich activities.
Best aspects - really, really great student union. The nights out are great. Residences life always has a lot of events going on and the students are very willing to chat to you and give advice/guidance. Improvements - More concerts at the SU!
Lecturers are useless, they ask for feedback and don’t listen to it, they don’t communicate between each other, all set deadlines right next to eachother so you don’t have enough time to get a good time balance resulting in a bit so great grade. When it comes to dissertation mine was fine but I know about 1/2 the year had little supervisor support and the data provided to them for aspects of the report was wrong, told they couldn’t do much and to make the most of it and that they’re sorry. For year of study abroad students were told the wrong amount of classes to take in the first term resulting in overloaded classes in the spring term. Lecturers striking and saying they’re doing it for the students is false as I’ve had numerous lectures cancelled and told to teach it to myself. Student life is okay, the SU has good club nights, shops and cafes with a new Centre for student life building, which looks really nice and brand new but was a waste of money, it’s essentially a wide 4 floor staircase building 90% of which is column of air, every table is constantly full and half the plugs don’t work. Accommodation is okay, not much more to expect from living in halls, I was I Taly north, basically a prison cell with a caravan bathroom, cleaners let themselves into my room when I was asleep.
Great social within the student union.
Open the centre of student life for longer and easier transport to university halls for later times
I think the building needs an update, obviously this is a huge undertaking but other courses have much newer buildings and I don't think that it's fair. however literally everything else is amazing.
the facilities are all modern and good. they have lots of areas to socialise or study and lots of support on hand
There are a lot of facilities available and support for every student. It can be improved by providing cheaper meals in the SU for students that are studying.
UHW is an amazingg campus for us but sometimes can be confusing or difficult to find rooms
Best aspects of my uni experience is the social aspect- I’ve met so many new people and having the opportunity to start a new chapter is really exciting. I also think the independence you learn is needed is another great aspect. Cardiff is a great place to study due to the excellent facilities- plethora of study spaces (some which can be booked for group sessions), well equipped labs/lecture theatres and plenty of nice food places. I think that communication is an aspect to be improved as email response is very slow on some occasions and clearer advice on how to access help. The worst aspect of my uni experience so far has been the cost of living rising, meaning I feel like I have to be limited in my social life and make sacrifices just to get by.
best- student support worst- lecture delivery
4.5
the student union is absolutely brilliant some buildings are not in use much and could be updated
it is a well set out course with lots of good aspects- the building is new and nice and the lecturers in general are good, but some lecturers could benefit from teacher training and more understanding about the way people learn because the basic structure of being lectured at isn’t the best way to learn
