The Students’ Union looks busy on the surface with lots of societies and events, but in reality I didn’t feel represented or supported.

The course structure and culture were extremely poor. Timetables and placement information were often given late or changed at short notice, which made planning accommodation, travel and part-time work almost impossible and left me out of pocket. There was a lot of emphasis on “professionalism” but ...
