Biological Sciences (Including Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

My university is such a nice place to study. Is a bit away from town but it´s okay. I think some bakeries are missing from campus, but it's not that necessary. We have a store which the prices are not that student friendly and that's why I'm not buying anything from there. The library is big and nice. You can study quiet. We also have another study centre in which you can meet for group projects and stuff.

MSc Research Methods in Psychology

University rating (4)

BEST - Campus: campus has everything you need all in once place (although campus used to have a bank, pie bus, print shop, career services, IT helpdesk, Nightline, hairdressers - but these have all disappeared. Would be great to have more of these kinda of services/ amenities on campus again, and maybe a chemist). - Online Resources: often can get access to journals/ research papers for free via the University's subscriptions, Moodle used for every module and has the slides, readings, module outlines and assignment info. , listen again is also super handy -Staff: are often really hard-working and approachable WORST - Strike Action: class schedules, assignments have been affected

Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons)

University rating (3)

The location as i live locally, but the actual university is not that big compare to Colchester campus. Staff are nice, but the facilities could do more and better. Especially a lot of different students in that campus, they could expand more so Student's can have their own department where there's library, lounge/cafe area to relax.

MMan Marketing and Management (integrated masters) including placement year MMAN

University rating (4)

Totally, It’s a fantastic university. There have great study environments and fantastic student support. I could receive many information by email every week to give me more information about activities. Therefore I could make my student life easier and have more experiences. The stuffs and teachers who working here are kindly to us. The points need to be improve is about the strike. The strike have happened in this year is takes our lots of time .

The best experiences are the sports teams here that are warming and fun as well as the workload here that isn’t too much. the worse aspects would be the location.

Childhood Studies BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Great range of bars, restaurants, cafes! I love the food markets that are there constantly; as well as the markets that is there on Thursday. The library is especially great, it’s a great place to focus and engage in studies. It’s 24/7 which is also great for people who work during days or people who live on campus.
