Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
No student bar, everyone drinks in town at the wetherspoons. Our trips are way too expensive. We don't have enough relevant/ classic/ essential books in the library. Campuses are spread out over Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. Not enough life drawing sessions, instruction or models. Food is way too expensive at Francis Close Hall! We should have a free bus between campuses e.g. Pittville student village to Park to Oxtalls. Creative subjects should all be on the same campus and collaborate, share life drawing sessions and facilities. We should share guest lecturers with other courses.
One of the best bits about UoG is that the library is very good. Almost all the books, articles and journals I needed are in stock. If it’s not in, the library staff will arrange inter-library loan and, in one, instance purchased a book specially. The student support service (known as ‘Help Zone’s) was good. They responded quickly to queries and their advice seemed fair and impartial.
It’s the accessibility to the lecturers and lecture materials, the environment and the local community have been so helpful.
Literally no student union as they are always shut, hardly any support from help zone and they are closing down my course, because of being in debt
Could make the student unions a bit more interesting such as a pool table and stuff that would attract more people to going there in interact with other students
Studying at the University of Gloucestershire was the best choice I made to improve my career. Being an international student, I anticipated a great number of changes as a new entrant into the UK, but the truth is that my school has made it so easy for me to settle in and adapt to everything. From my first day in school at the Oxstalls campus, I met friendly faces and super helpful staff and had no difficulties navigating the campus. Systems and processes are seamless, the technology is pretty impressive, and the business school is just so beautiful and modern. There are groups and clubs for literally everything you can think of, and the student union did go the extra mile to make us feel welcome with a lot of programs and presents. Our lecturers are great as well, and the classes are more like intellectual exchange than 'just teaching'. This makes it easy to assimilate knowledge and look forward to learning which is one challenge I especially thought I'd go through, having been out of school for over 10 years. It's as if I never left, everything just blends in beautifully. The one thing I'd suggest an improvement on is communication between certain offices and the students. For instance in the event of cancellation of a scheduled program it would be helpful if the students were informed beforehand as some do come from quite a distance. Other than this minor ish which isn't really a big deal by the way, the University of Gloucestershire is the educational stuff of dreams and I'll really encourage folks especially international students to go for it. I do not regret coming here. It's been the most amazing experience so far.
I study at oxstalls campus and the facilities are exceptional. The weather generally is a bit of struggle coping with the cold but I'm adapting fast.
No real support for mature students or understanding of their different support needs.
Best- support and facilities Worst- very cold campus
The largest university awards in the UK voted for exclusively by students - find out which unis our student reviewers love!
Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
There are a lot of good and positive things to share about.
It's a very central location in southampton, close to the train station and the city centre. Very well internationally connected, with partnerships at universities all over the wor...
