The facilities are brilliant and well utilised. The course is well put together to have a good balance of technical knowledge required to become and engineer, and practical experience problem solving and applying skills in an industry based manner, preparing you well for the future as a professional engineer.

Good halls that were nicely looked after and suited well for thee first year of study.

Needs more lecturers. Good amount of contact time and we’ll balanced between lectures and tutorials and practical sessions.

Apply early.

Veterinary nursing course is hard but the support is amazing. Content in lectures is well delivered with interactive content. Placements are amazing and helped to organise by your placement tutor.

Good if you enjoy a party! Difficult if you need sleep or have an exam the next day

Even during covid-19 the lectures were very easy to follow and in depth. They really care about your learning and how to make it interesting for everyone regardless of the topic. Practicals are also amazing and the facilities on campus are absolutely brilliant

I prefer the in person taught sessions to online and blended learning approaches. For the most part we are taught in person but probably 70-80% is online still even though we’re out of covid now which is a little frustrating. I think the contact time is appropriate considering how many assignments you have alongside your dissertation.

Unless you drive Harper isn’t very accessible, there is no train stations near by and apart from the shuttle bus run by the uni your options are very limited. The closest town of Newport is very small and there’s not much to do unless you go further from the uni. There is a club on campus and one in Newport as well as a lot of pubs. It definitely feels like a safe place to live though but is not very diverse at all.

I liked that we did a questionnaire to match us with similar people and they did a really good job in our flat. We had a cleaner come in daily for the kitchen and once weekly cleaned our rooms. The en-suite showers were really good and any problems were fixed quickly. There’s a scanner to get into the building, a key to get into your flat and then a key to your own room also. The kitchen is spacious with enough seats for everyone and 2 sets of ovens, hobs, fridge freezers and sinks. Can’t really fault the accommodation apart from it was the most expensive option but that’s because it’s en-suite.

There is a good mix of online and in person teaching. Some modules have a lot of in person teaching that may be better suited to being online as they do not always get through the content for that session in the time allotted for the class which can leave it feeling disjointed.

The rooms were nice with a good amount of space and don’t feel prison like/claustrophobic. The cleaners were lovely. There was not a lot of cupboard space in the communal kitchen though.

Good amount of contact hours with lecturers, some modules seem a bit irrelevant and slow

No sofa :(

I love how we get hands on the university farm but I feel like we could have more contact time with tutors

I like having an en suite but the kitchen can be a mess sometimes due to the other people living here

The best aspects of the course are all the new things you get to learn and the worst aspects is how difficult it can be sometimes!

The thing I liked most about halls was meeting new people and having a new experience and the least thing I liked was having to cook my own food sometimes when I’d had a busy day at uni

I enjoy the blended approach of teaching and I have a good amount of course hours for the money. Always able to reach a lecturer for help. Enjoy the content.

Quite expensive for what it is but think that's all halls!
