Fantastic city
Great university, great city enjoyed my course so much and made some great friends. There was great facilities and sports facilities. The library facilitates was great too and open 24/7. I would also recommendations the teaching as I have learnt so much great stuff from being at this university.
A supportive and enabling learning atmosphere
I really liked the supportive and enabling learning atmosphere, it made it easier for me to stay motivated and comfortable asking for help when needed. One thing that could be improved is the number of lectures scheduled each week. There should be better spacing, with at least a few free days to allow for self-study, reflection, and proper understanding of what’s been taught. Having lectures, seminars, and practicals packed into four consecutive days can be overwhelming. Overall, it was a positive and enriching experience that helped me grow both academically and personally.
High Fees, Low Contact
It's not a bad university, but personally, I haven't enjoyed it much. I'm only in for about three lectures a week, which feels unreasonable considering the 9k tuition. The campus is nice, and most staff are friendly and helpful, though a few can come across as quite snobbish. I'd strongly recommend that future students attend open days and carefully read through the modules offered, then compare them with other universities before making a decision.
