I love it so far at university as everyone is very nice and i feel that I can always approach staff members and can ask them anything and get a response which will satisfy my curiosity.

Facilities (5)

How good are your university's facilities?

The facilities available are excellent as there are always computers available to use if needed and there is also study rooms which small groups of students can use. The canteen also offers a range of foods to meet students needs.

Student support (5)

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

The support given by tutors is amazing as they always try to give enough support so you can make certain changes which helps to increase grades. The university also have a councillor which students can use for free to ensure students dont have any troubles and can always speak to someone if needed.

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

While studying at UCB, changes to the course were made midway through and confusion was constant around what modules the course involved and the way you hand your assignments changed halfway through making it harder to hand your work in if you have any problems

Adventure Tourism Management BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

This is a genuinely nice place to study. The lecturers are friendly and well qualified and bring a wealth of experience. They are a good mix of young and trendy against traditional and experienced. The courses on offer are specific, yet those such as Leisure and Recreational MANAGEMENT which have been lambasted by some critics, as true innovation and expose a student to a range of local government, council and business issues as well as global issues in a different light, all from a MANAGEMENT perspective. Excellent !!
