It's still too early to do a complete conclusion however timetabled hours aren't too bad, some are inconvenient for myself as a commuter student but I have to deal with it. Great facilities for computing and mathematics, with software needed on most PCs. Even in the library, they have specialised software to my course however I don't try to use it as much due to spec requirements of software being more demanding so the library PCs are not the most suitable. Tutors are easy to contact with numbers, emails and socials given to us from induction week. Easy to find on Moodle and emails if lost, I like to use our course's specific Discord server to connect with classmates and the games tutors and programme leader. Not looking to go onto placement due to instability with games development careers at the moment but plenty of computing work placements and opportunities to take up. Also interesting volunteer programmes with RISE (university programme to earn extra course credits and develop skills for graduation) to count towards CV and personal skills. Sometimes there may be a lack of support with certain units as there are more than just games courses, however they provide plenty of self-study support and support classes at different times and different days throughout the week, to keep up-to-date. Can't take full advantage of this unfortunately as I commute and would prefer to study from the comforts of my home since trains can be unreliable.

Good facilities but the timetable is unorganised,. Some lecturers are irresponsible

Some lecturers have been absolutely fantastic, understanding and empathetic to struggles on the course. Staff changes without us knowing have confused as to some extent, one of our lecturers ‘disappeared’ after the first term and has been replaced by a lecturer who does not know the topics to the same extent

Little one-to-one time, although office hours are available

Good mixture of teaching styles, some lectures, some seminars or workshops, some delivered online. Course unit leaders are friendly and happy to assist you if needs be.

Great accommodation! Big, sociable lay out. All en-suite. Gym, games room and TV room included. 24/7 security and great reception team!

Best aspects would be the amount of support available from lecturers. The worst aspect would be that some of the lectures are not very engaging.

Like most - how social the accommodation is and how easy it is to make friends with people with the halls regardless of which flat they are in. Like least - the laundry facilities.

Can get hard however there is help when needed

Good

Nothing

It's good but I feel there's not much support about placements
