Arden University

The majority of my time at Arden was in COVID so my experience may be different to others. They dealt with COVID very well and the situation at hand. The course was very informative and gave me not only knowledge of the subject but it's wider context in the world. The university resources on things like mental health was superb.

We didn't have a freshers as there is no accommodation it's small offices in a building There is no accommodation at Arden Manchester Facilities were minimal but exactly perfect for the uni and courses. Lovely staff and very clean Great lecturers who know exactly what they're talking about and smaller groups so more comfortable for someone with anxiety Busy busy busy

Freshers week was a week to remember. I made so many new friends and got comfortable with uni life. The accommodation is very affordable and clean and up to standards. Classrooms were immaculate and very professional. Got a real feel for life in the industry. Was very professional and hands on we got to experience many things and had lots of opportunities given to us. The city life was great. Lots to do with new friends and blow off some steam.

You can work part time and attend this uni course, even though it's online it may seem daunting at first but it's the best decision I made as I can organise myself from earning and learning at the same time. At Arden you have access to thousands of books thanks to their online liabry resources and the tutors are all super helpful and always there whenever you need. You can choose to do a distant course (fully online) or blended where you can enter the facilities in cities in the uk and across the globe ! You feel a valued member of the class as there is always feedback between the class on selected days every week along with live zoom lectures which are recorded for those times where you just can't make it ! It's the best decision I made to continue my studies with Arden university

I found it wierd as it was a new experience for me, but it turnt out to be fun i gained confidence and made some new friends

The teachers are really nice amfd friendly, it is located fairly near my house, the class’s are smaller then expected but it is fine i prefer it as the teachers can give you more one to one time

The library is nice but it is fairly small, the canteen food is nice but it is very over priced this is a problem as travel is expensive as it is

The course and lectures are good because classes are smaller then normal universitys, this makes the teachers at the universitys give you more one to one help, and they are very helpful overall i would say the teachers are the best thing at the uni

City life is great, but thre is a problem as the city is a lot lore expensive, it is really hard to mantain your student loan when city prices

Be prepared for a lot of home studies, and be prepared for less social time ad the course is time consuming, this course gives you a lot to learn

I encourage everyone to choose another University. I had 4 issues within a year - First three times attendance errors with threat for expulsion with each time being assured that is for last time. Now recently the financial department is asking me to pay my tuitions . They asked me for £5375 pounds although I am funded from SFE. Even an agent from SFE during our call asked me why on earth the Arden Financial department are bothering me with such issues and making me do their job, instead of calling SFE on their helpline and rectify the issue. All this is psychological harassment. No one seems to be interested.

Absolutely shocking that this place claims to offer graduate courses, student support and value for money. The tutors struggle with speaking comprehensible English, on line tuition through lock down was pointless, no chance to ask questions or receive extra support. Expensive course fees for what? Dissertation tutor hasn’t responded to emails, student services can’t help as it seems tutors ignore them too. Don’t waste your money or time with Arden.
