Library staff

The lecturers and workshop leaders have been satisfactory in my experience, as with anywhere there are good and bad (to be fair, Oxford has been ranked by students to have some of the worst lecturers in the country). They do attempt to make the content interesting and engaging although it's the other students at the university that make it near impossible to concentrate due to their own chattering in lecture (that's fine when you're in a year 10 science, not in a lecture on promissory estoppel in relation to contract law at a £9250 a year university).

Maths is hard

Going to city to do computer science is a great way to get into the industry because its a good uni that excells at computer science, although I've found that the actual course for me has been particularly easy or the lecturers are less enthusiastic so I find myself learning at home rather than in the lectures

an amazing value for money for where its located, its very small which is to be expected but other than that there are no issues - I joined by trading my contract with someone else so I was put with people that wanted to be much more quiet than I was but this was not the fault of the accommodation and in the end this didn't turn out to be a big issue anyways

Lecturers are easily accessible and so is your personal tutor for any queries you may have.

NOT ORGANISED !!!!

The course itself has sadly been a complete mess! Between the pandemic and the UCU strikes we have not had the best experience as a cohort (although I cannot speak for everyone) the module deadlines have been extremely badly dealt with and organized. Have not been impressed with the lack of help from both tutors and academic support. Definitely not as good as my UAL bachelors degree experience! The Masters course should really be in 2 years for Full Time and 3 years Part Time, this is because there is just too much material to cover in 1 year! Too many exams also means that we don't have time to truly focus on what will be valuable in industry, we should have more industry related projects instead. The online material is ok, but could definitely be improved, the lectures in my opinion are far too long and not enough hands on tasks!

The course content is not bad but there is nobody teaching. The lectures quality cannot be assessed as lectures are constantly cancelled. Online lectures are not helpful. There is only 2 tutor contact times every term and no other time can be scheduled otherwise otherwise lecturer will explain his availability is limited. The internships are limited and they do not have a lot of connections. The career prospects are good as the university has good awards but it is difficult to perform well if there is no teaching and virtually no student experience. The subject facilities are limited. Every department and every subject is sharing one building apart from law and business. It is not acceptable and not feasible to teach students in that kind of campus and small proximity.

The university location is great, not so much the university. The campus is way too Small and there is no where to study. 12 departments cannot share two lecture halls and a couple rooms while 2 departments have their own buildings. The shopping centre provides jobs for students but the university have no connections with the centrale which is a shame. The area is safe, protected by police and very public plus close to central London. However, the university waste money on security despite the small proximity. Cost of living is more expensive than most universities . It is predominantly not a diverse area. Public transport is the best aspect and the safety levels.

The halls is opposite a nursery so small school kids are constantly running around, throwing rubbish and the whole school routine is difficult. There needs to be an exit students can leave from that's is not walking past the reception. Receptionists are inappropriate, they always want conversation at inconvenient times and students just want to go out without being stared at. The staff are eager to report to the University, and speak about everyone's student profiles and make comments on grades to residents as they walk past. The design definitely needs to be revised. There is no events, there should be student roles to make events to help people stay in contact and meet up. There should be fire alarm tests run where students all go outside to test if every fire alarm works. The accommodation is missing so much that other smaller and cheaper accommodations provide.
