Psychology has a really knowledgeable and tight knit community of lecturers and I have been blessed to be guided by them. I personally did an internship in the NHS under a clinical psychologist which the department were very supporting of. Especially in third year, the lectures and seminars have been geared towards our careers after university. Mt tutor is great and always available, and the facilities are awesome, such as the new lecture hall and specialised research labs.

I lived in back halls which has now been demolished due to its age. It was a great halls to live in and I'm very glad I picked these halls. I met a bunch of great people and we always had a blast. The location was great, just behind the SU, campus shop and laundry facilities. The price point was the best part, it was extra affordable and I was paying less than half of what my friends from other universities were monthly. Edge hill has won awards for its accommodation and it really shows.

The placements could have been better prepared for students and the expectations could be more clearly disclosed but the course overall is wonderful.

There could be more cupboards and counters as well as another fridge and more worthwhile freezers. Otherwise, very lovely.

My experience with my course (Animation) has been fairly positive since starting in September 2023. The teaching staff are friendly, supportive, and understanding of needs - however, I often find myself struggling to put into action what has been instructed in the lessons, and contact tutors out-of-hours. Starting on a very positive note - course content offers a wide range of expertise and understanding of the Animation industry, and the software used to develop such work. Industry-Standard equipment is used in the course, which allows students to develop the skills needed for entering the industry. This gives students great career prospects. The course also offers an opportunity to attend several Animation Festivals, which allow students to develop industry connections and potentially enter placements/internships. The facilities for the Animation course are also fantastic. Located in the Creative Edge building, the main Animation studio gives students access to 20+ industry standard Wacom drawing tablets, a wide range of software (such as Maya, Toon Boom Harmony, and Photoshop), and other animation tools - such as 3D printers and a separate Stop Motion studio. The main animation studio itself is comfortable and modern, with classrooms being just as good. However, some flaws me and my course mates have encountered is that task explanations are a little too indirect. This has led to myself and others achieving lower grades than we are confident we could have achieved, due to tasks not being explained in the level of detail we required. Work and expectations will often be set with little explanation of what is required, meaning students are not given the opportunity to preform to their full potential. Additionally, tutor contact time has also been unreliable. Emails may go unread for days, regardless of urgency. Other than meeting tutors face-to-face (which isn’t always an option) is a the only reliable way to get a timely response. Support online is mostly reliable. The Learning Edge is a Blackboard page which is available on every course, and gives students access to documents and assignments set by tutors. This has been fairly useful in catching up on missed lessons, however lectures are not recorded - which makes it harder to fully grasp what we are expected to do if a student has missed class.

5-stars, all around. Chancellors Court Boyce building was definitely the best accommodation I would have picked, based on my own requirements and preferences. Location-wise, the building is located in the north campus, next to the Sports Centre - with only a 2-minute walk to Creative Edge and bus stop, and a 5 minute walk to the Main Building (or ‘The Hub’). Situated next to the water, wildlife such as Moorhens and Ducks can often be seen outside the window. For the Accommodation price, the rooms and kitchen are fantastic. The kitchen space is large and offers plenty of facilities - for a 5 bedroom accommodation, it has 2 ovens/grills, 8 hobs, 2 fridges, 2 freezers, a communal TV, a microwave, a 4-slot toaster, 2 sinks, a sofa, a dining table with chairs, and plenty of countertop space. The rooms are also great- with a single bed, radiator, wall-mounted TV, 6 plug sockets, a desk with a built-in desk lamp, a desk chair, large windows, and several shelves. The en-suite wetroom/toilet has - a shower, sink, toilet, and towel rack. The walls are relatively thick, and I have rarely heard noise from accompanying rooms (though, maybe I’ve just been blessed with quiet floormates… it’s hard to tell). The accommodation feels very safe, with 3 separate locked doors before entering a bedroom (one card- pass on the building exterior, a key-locked door leading to the accommodation cluster, and a lockable bedroom door). However I cannot speak much to the safety regarding floormates - I have not encounter problems with mine, so I cannot speak to how ‘safe’ a student would feel if they were assigned bad floormates. But I do know that moving accommodation is an option if a student issues a complaint to Student Services. I have experienced no problems with the Accommodation Wifi/Internet. It is fast and reliable. Property maintenance and management is also very reliable. Kitchens and communal spaces are cleaned by an accommodation-assigned cleaner ever morning on a weekday (vacuuming, cleaning countertops, cleaning kitchen equipment/appliances, etc.). Students in accommodation have access to a vacuum at all times for their personal room cleaning.

It’s horrific! I would never continue If id had known it would be this awful, the tutors don’t seem to know what they’re doing! They read off powerpoint slides and give us deadlines that are ridiculous! The workload of teachers is already huge so I’m not sure where they thought we would have the time for everything else!! I will always tell people to not go to Edgehill after my shambles of a third year

It was nice, very modern and had an en-suite. The walls are paper thin so that wasn’t enjoyable and the rooms got very very hot. The living area was nice with a large kitchen and the building felt safe. They also have security that could be called for any issues

Cpds available through the education society.

I like most the look of the halls as it is highly modern .

We get to do placements which gives us good experience and have opportunities to complete courses free of charge. Newly refurbished building, always clean and conveniently placed cafe. Teaching quality is subjective to who’s teaching. Not everyone is a quality teacher.

Cleaner 5 days a week and all ensuit bedrooms was a lovely luxury. The bathrooms having a wet room shower wasn’t the most ideal and single beds wasn’t ideal either. Having a few halls around campus that had the option of double beds would be nice.

The course features interesting modules and has superb lecturers teaching them. The only downside is sometimes the website doesn't have updated staff email however, this is quickly realised as staff always respond quickly. The course overall has many good qualities that make it fun, interesting, and good for future prospects!

These halls were very homely and it had great views, maintenance, and support. It was a blessing living On-Campus and I always felt relaxed whilst surrounded by the amazing campus. These halls very the best value I could find when comparing other universities. The most expensive halls at Edge Hill University were often the same price or cheaper than other universities cheapest halls!

Overall good, pyschology teachers can tell you different so can confuse when trying to do an essay. Had problems with multiple essays and one got extended due to everyone being confused. Criminology’s good

Good that your on campus for your first year!

The course I’m studying, is extremely interesting and I have no regrets Choosing it. The content that I learn is taught in different ways which keep us students engaged and make us want to learn and attend. I am in first year, however, I have learnt so much already due to the range of modules in my course. I feel as though a Hill universe are extremely accommodating. When it comes to placement they offer you the choice to choose where you want to go however this can only be done once in the 3 years. I got placed in a placement very close to home which was really convenient for me and I feel like the teachers arranging. My placement took this into consideration which I appreciated. The teachers at Edgehill University Are extremely nice and teach in a way Which keeps me interested throughout the session. They make it clear that questions can be asked, and that they are there to help. The content is also taught in a Clear way, which makes it easy to understand and less overwhelming. Always make it aware to students of the different careers available. They do this by sending out emails and even inviting professionals in for talks. I am able to contact my tutors with any concerns and they will reply to me when they can. Subject facilities, such as specific resources are available on campus for us to use in lessons which is extremely helpful as we get a practical experience.

My course is taught all in person with lectures and seminars which I enjoy. However, I do wish the course content was more challenging and included more preparation for the career.

The location of this hall is very convenient as it is very close to the student center, bus stop, security office, and laundry facilities. However, it is very evident that the building is old and has not been renovated. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are in need of renovation.
