The financial support is helpful enough for students considering the fees are all paid for and there is a possibility for extra money which depends on your household income.

The support is good enough we usually get things resolved quite quickly.

Most of the computers work well. The library is easy to access. The classes have enough space. The equipment we need is available to us most of the time.

We have enough time to complete Assessment and tasks. A lot of group work which makes it easier to get things done rather than working alone. The lecturers are nice and approachable. The course is interesting and we learn a lot.

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.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
