Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

1st year student

My studies are covered which is great, I wouldn't be here without it. Of course it's hard to travel in each day but it's cheaper than living closer to uni.

Feedback on work is always respectful to me even when saying what I haven't done right or need to work on. They always provide helpful insights such as going over assignments briefs with us

I like the different levels of the libraries/quiet spaces. Toilets are always extremely clean. I don't live in uni accommodation so have nothing to say on that

1st year student

The course works well. The modules are very helpful at getting an overview and the timing of lectures each week don't feel like they're rushing through or going to slow. Tutorials are helpful when people decide to talk
