Great university, caring staff and lecturers

Local nightlife is great and housing is affordable

I love this Uni. It was the best decision I made coming here. I have made friends for life and taken opportunities I've never had before.

My Course is amazing. I love the variety of topics we learn and the positive environment in the Business school. Commuting to the university is very easy and makes my experience less stressful.

I moved from the North East in September 2023 and think the city is great for students as there is loads to do. My lectures are great as are the seminars due to the staff as well as resources, especially the library and student sport leagues. My only complaint is we use Moodle, which is not as good as Google Classroom or other platforms for catching up on lectures.

I love university, I've come out of my shell so much.

The quality of teaching is excellent in terms of being flexible to each student's wants and needs. The lecturers and student advisors are really helpful. The campus has modern facilities suited for every type of student need. Moreover, the career advisers are helpful in terms of getting a placement or pursuing a career outside of your degree.

Switching to my current Business Management with Spanish degree has opened up many more opportunities for me, in particular the chance to travel and utilize my language knowledge paired with business management skills in many countries. I have enjoyed this course as I find the skills taught are very useful and from previous education fit very well with my interests. On top of this, it has allowed me to make many great friends. The teaching staff are always very informative and supportive.

As a first-year student, I have had an exceptional time here. I came here as a new student with nothing but hope and was given the most amazing flatmates. I always felt underprivileged being around people here but it never stopped me from flourishing and achieving my goals as well as making a lot of new friends and going to new places. My course is so interesting as we get to dive into different subjects and how they correlate to the course I am studying. My teachers are extremely caring and go to great lengths to watch me succeed. The support system has been amazing so far and I can’t wait for more experiences.
