Paramedic Science BSc (Hons)

University rating (2)

This university is quite possibly the most disorganised, incompetent organisation in existence. From the application process to the graduation ceremony and everything in between, they have failed to deliver. They use multiple, extremely poorly designed websites for delivering information, and so nobody knows what is required of them. The Paramedic Science course was delivered at Telford Campus, miles from anywhere with next to no facilities. During the tour, they showed of a high-tech piece of equipment that displays anatomy at different levels and angles. This has NEVER been turned on. The majority of lectures were mandated to be on campus, despite it being fully possible to save the 75min commute and have it delivered online. A very very small handful of lecturers were competent and engaging, but after a couple of semesters, they jumped the sinking ship to get jobs elsewhere. The 'bespoke' professional pathway course was the 3yr degree just rushed through in 18 months. Ans because of this, nobody knew what they were doing, nobody had time to actually study and nothing was marked on time. Support was minimal. If you had learning difficulties, they didn't care or make any reasonable adjustments, apart from automatically give the 10% for grammar/spelling/referencing. Finally, the graduation tickets are still not on sale, a week after their 'release date' with absolutely zero communication from the university as to why not and what is happening. The fact that you would pay 3x £9,250 for this experience is nothing short of theft.

100% online MSc Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing

University rating (1)

My ratings are for the online psychology masters, a bridging course. FIND ANOTHER PLACE IF STUDY. The flexibility is fantastic. However the online offering is dismal, really just an afterthought. Lectures are basic and actually poorly delivered through short simplistic videos. They provide no depth whatsoever and are mostly very dull. There are so few of them. The marking is another issue. Get ready to spend a great deal of your time disputing glaring marking discrepancies. Markers often mark against incorrect criteria. They offer zero feedback even after being asked. To get helpful feedback you have to escalate. Even then you get ‘reviews’ responses saying everything is fine and you’re wrong. An example is where we wrote an assignment and were told not to reference anything but the code of conduct. I have actual proof of this. Still got marked down because of a lack of referencing outside of the code of conduct. After weeks of escalation the reply is: we have looked and the marking is correct. If you’re not happy escalate further. This course has been so painful, besides working and studying I have found that I actually do not have time for this permanent escalation drag. Thus this review.

Criminology and Criminal Justice BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The best aspects of university include opportunities for intellectual growth and exploration. There’s access to a range of diverse resources to engage in hands on research and practical experiences to enhance my career prospects. Social life is rich and is definitely one of the best things about uni! I have met people from various backgrounds and cultures which had helped me broaden my perspective and increase my confidence. The worst aspects of uni life is probably something that is not often mentioned - the competitive nature of university which sometimes makes me feel inadequate and have a little imposter syndrome, especially as I sometimes have financial and environmental constraints which cause me to not have an equal chance at achieving my potential.

Fine Art BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I would like say the Staff..the students are amazing people in my Fine art class. The feel of Wolverhampton is Free and beautiful. The town of Wolverhampton have some lovely people within and outside the University with a lot of things to offer. I am so happy to be studying at this beautiful institution and I am happy with the support and help from my tutors. My fellow students we are like a close knit family reaching our goals encouraging one another where and when it is required. Also at University of Wolverhampton.. age is no barrier or culture etc as we are all here to gain and learn and then put something back into our communities. I am thankful for this lovely place and I am happy to be studying here. University of Wolverhampton is oozing with great potential, so don't allow nothing to hold you back from studying at Wolves.
