Business Management BSc (Hons)

its great from the environment, the support system from the staff and activities held on campus, need improvement for jobs in campus would be better if for students only and the price for accommodation as high as living london.

Computer Science (Integrated Masters) MSci (Hons)

The student union always organises interesting events that keep the student experience feel fresh The Facilities are great for studying as we have dedicated study rooms, which are great for solo study sessions and also offer privacy to a certain extent, whilst also being able to be used by a small group for when we have to work on conding projects and need the extra privacy. Student life offers a great balance (for someone like me that is commuting) as I can come in for my lecture, have enough free time between lessons to go to the gym (which has adequate equipment to meet one's needs) finish the lectures for the day and still have 2 - 4 hours to revise and review the material until I get to go the boxing club which starts at a reasonable time for me to make it back home for dinner.
