Worst aspect- my accommodation in the 1st year was quite poor: communal toilets backed up, noise until 3/4 every night and fire alarm like 3 times a week in the middle of the night. Best aspect- very interesting course with engaging and helpful professors.

The location is super nice with a beach near by and all uni buildings close together. The facilities the uni has to offer are good library, ravelin sport Center. The sport clubs available are extremely enjoyable. The welfare and student support is good but could be advertised a bit more often so everyone knows what’s available and where etc

What students say about criminal-psychology

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.

Edge Hill is a hidden gem as far as universities go. It's not as well known as some other unis but it's really great in almost every way. Very supportive staff, great quiet countryside location with good access to Liverpool and close to surrounding towns such as Southport. The gym facilities are top notch, as well as thr library and departments facilities. Can't recommended enough.

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.

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.
