What students say about sports-journalism

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 world. The teaching could be improved as students feel they are not prepared for assignments and we don't have enoiugh contact time with tutors

What students say about sports-journalism

The University of Brighton is a great place to study; in the heart of the city, you're only ever a stones throw away from the beach or the iconic Lanes. All the staff are incredibly supportive and there's little doubt they want you to achieve your full potential. The only downside of my time at the University of Brighton was that much of my time was marred by strikes. Whilst I 100% back and support all striking workers, it was clear that University management had very little care for staff and students. Especially if you're a humanities subject.

What students say about sports-journalism

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.

What students say about sports-journalism

The life-changing University of Sunderland is indeed LIFE-CHANGING! I could remember when I was making my application to study at the University of Sunderland, I was full of uncertainties but having been here for a while, I think I made the best decision of my life. From the state-of-the-art facilities which it boasts of including the modern library (both online and physical), the expert staff who are always willing to help, the university administration and organization, the amazing lecture theatres; even the lovely and welcoming students and student union. The location of the University campuses are the best and couldn't have been situated anywhere better. The courses which they offer to students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels are unique and meticulously selected (with amazing module contents I must say) such that the students are well equipped to be the best in the society. The various support networks available in the University to assist students to be the best in their academics, personal, religious and social life including mental health are top-notch and effective. A lot of activities are periodically organized for the students by the student union and various associations and societies such that there is never a dulling moment in student life. The periodic job fares, indoor and outdoor games and diverse events being organized at the CitySpace and other locations in the various University campuses are quite thoughtful, engaging and effective in impacting the lives of students and creating a positive experience. To me, the University of Sunderland is not just life-changing, it is both the University of the Moment and the Institution of the Future. Thank you the life-changing University of Sunderland for giving me an opportunity to have this beautiful experience while being your student.

What students say about sports-journalism

It’s so fun to study here as it’s right in the city centre and there’s so much to do as a student. Student union put on loads of free things like free food, toiletries. Improvement would probably just be more sport funding for better facilities or ones to be closer. For example it costs a lot to go to the nearest astros and pitches.

What students say about sports-journalism

I really enjoy the course that I'm studying. The course is really interesting and the tutors are kind, helpful and supportive. The facilities are modern and easy to find my way round. One of my favourite parts about the university is the Journalism and Media Week where guests speakers from the media industry come in to talk about there experiences and even take questions from students. What needs improving is the shuttle bus service as it is unacceptable because it's unreliable and is always late. If this was fixed the university would be perfect. I also think that tutors can sometimes overwhelm us with assignments.

Location is ideal if you travel by train, as the train station is literally on the door step of the uni! The main campus is large, split over 2 sites across the train tracks, health and clinical courses are taught at the Mary Seacole and allerton buildings. Both very well equiped and large enough to accommodate the large cohort. Amazing facilities including xray and CT machines. The library is always open and loads of small quiet places to stay, socialise and study. This is a big campus and can be over whelming, however this is helped by good planning of rooms and common rooms across both campuses.

I joined university of Lincoln this January 2024 and the experience has been refreshing. Being an international student settled comfortably as every department, team and services has been spot on helpful. Accommodation services, Enrollment team, Students union team, Lectures and Students were all ready to help cheerfully. Educational activities aside, there are various student support activities such as career and employability programs, game nights, fares and tours creating opportunities for socialisation and skills development.
