I love, love, love this univeristy. I get incredible support, amazing opportunities and great communication with my course leaders and lecturers. The accommodation is amazing, the 5 day grace period is just perfect and the sociology course is incredibly interesting especially after year 1

Student Review: 1.8 /5
By member1251574 On 15th October 20 verified Verified student

Terrible service from a terribly run institution. Lack of organisation has resulted in many issues amongst my cohort ranging from lecturers not knowing how to answer questions based on what they are teaching, wrongly published marks- creating false hopes then completely demoralising you, timetables being issued one day before the start of a semester, the list can go on. Since I started my degree I have had to deal with countless issues such as parking to get to my lectures and being penalised as their car parks are packed to the brim. Communication during Covid-19 has been terrible also, no sense of care towards students, all they care for is getting money in the bank. Very quick to issue fines and chase up outstanding payments, but trying to get help is a mission in itself. I would not recommend UWE to anyone after 3 years studying with them. And to pay £9,250 as well is just a joke.

Teaching is Great, facilities are nice. Overall the campus has really good vibes. But the support staff are absolutely useless, it's like they don't even care. Honestly if you have problems with anything that can't be helped just by your lectures then you are royally screwed. Also if you have any mental health issues, go private or off campus,

I studied at Bower Ashton Campus and even though at times I wanted to drop out, I have super fond memories of the place. I graduated with a first class degree and couldn’t have loved my lecturers and peers more. Super helpful staff, such a lovely city to explore and the nightlife is A+ (Thekla Thursday will kill you)!

Awesome campus, it doesn’t feel empty or alone unlike UoB. There is a stronger sense of community here than most campuses. The prices at the student shop are a bit overpriced as there was inflation. The food served at Onezone has also improved, and the subway was a solid addition. Unfortunately I won’t be around to enjoy the new engineering building which is absolutely amazing.

At UWE all the money is spent on Frenchay campus so if you're going to Glenside it's like the poorer relative that nobody remembers or cares about. The Wi-Fi is shockingly slow and you can be sat there for ten minutes waiting just to log on. The Frenchay campus have tablets outside the room to show booked study spaces, Glenside doesn't so you're constantly having to throw people out of booked spaces. Questions I have asked the librarians over the net, they haven't been able to answer and have just sent me links and I'm talking basic questions. Considering Glenside homes the health professions there is no gym, not even a running track which is beyond poor. Parking is horrific you buy an annual pass and instead of being assigned a space you'll be lucky to find one, especially when they keep kicking you off for welcome events. Overall lecturers are friendly and approachable and teach well, however you always get one and we certainly have her.

Toilet in E block has been out of order for a week now, an example of how the campus runs on a bare minimum. If you fancy a flat pint in a dirty glass then the students union bar is the place to go. These comments are highly nit picky, I understand however it's the easiest way for me to explain the campus experience is liveable but not exactly enjoyable. Teaching is effective and helpful however the engagement hours are low and the timetables always seem to cause inconveniences. I pay over £9000 in tuition and I dont even get a discount in travel costs whereas the University of bristol does receive reimbursement. The internet, you guessed it, is sufficient at best, and unusable at worst. The ISP maintainenece service is slow and unresponsive and the infrastructure didnt work when I lived in halls. In house "eduroam" service feels impossible to log into. This in turn forces me to use my data to access their learning materials as the teaching staff wont print the material half the time.

This is my second degree my first was at a different university to UWE and UWE far exceeds it. As a mature student the staff couldn't be more helpful. The course work is very in depth and provides you with a thorough knowledge of your topic. The anatomical and normal library are of excellent standards and if you can't get in due to snow etc the lectures are recorded on panapto so you can easily catch up. Very close to Bristol City which is amazingly conveinent.

UWE is a great university all round. Staff are generally very helpful and always willing to give you advise on your course. The campus has very good amenities and is only a short walk away from two large supermarkets (and a Nando’s). Bristol city centre is only a 20 min bus ride away which makes getting to and back from nights out very convenient.

Can't say I know much since I couldn't even get into halls of residence and there's now a 100 people waiting list which I wasn't put on automatically once it was created. Private housing is equally impossible as there are 10+ viewing the place before you. Once completing my 6 hour travel most, if not all, the viewings are cancelled or there's no hope of your offer getting accepted anyway. No housing. Extremely expensive. Pathetic accommodation system that doesn't even show you which rooms are available. You just choose 6 and cross your fingers.

Honestly joined the uni thinking it would be good even tho its ranked kinda low. But now I realise why its not ranked higher. Wouldn't recommend an engineering course here as a lot of the staff are patronising on subjects that would not have been taught at a levels. They expect you to know of the bat. I'm paying around 9k to learn not be told I'm stupid for something I don't know and it being your job to tell us as students the new information we need to graduate with the knowledge to work in industry

I was ar bower ashton campus, if you enjoy a small and quiet campus you will like it. I found the campus very boring and depressing to be on and secluded from anything near by with a £3 bus getting you anywhere near the city. I felt forgotten about as all the social events were on the main campus at frenchay and there wasnt much concern for mental health as i wanted to drop out and had no idea who to turn when i got to my lowest point.

Teaching is good, looking after student welfare is poor and understaning of student mental health is bad. It's a good university if you are certain you won't have any problems with mental health etc while there.

Our uni keeps getting better. It was a great uni when I arrived but with the addition of more student accommodation on campus, the new business and engineering block, as well as some smaller projects across the campus, it has brung UWE into this century and the next. The uni is always seeking better staff to improve its education. WiFi is great on campus but could do with some improvements in the student village accommodations. The sports teams are as good as any other uni’s. The student union is quite basic, but serves its purpose well.

Very good university with great facilities at frenchay campus however glenside Campus is neglected and living in halls on glenside almost felt like a prison. I am a student/fan of UWE as a place to study but there needs to be a greater student union effort to create fun experiences that bring people together, outside of freshers week - for all students. Again, the university needs to stop neglecting glenside, especially the halls of residence. But, if you are expected to spend your time on frenchay campus you will most likely have nothing to worry about.

Going to UWE has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Everyone is so friendly on campus and it’s so easy to find your way around. Student accommodation is a great convenient place to live and a great way to meet people. The professors are so helpful and the workload isn’t too much. It’s easy to balance your work/social/study. I love it here so much.

Just finished studying my degree here and I cannot recommend this place at all. Recieved little to no support throughout my studies especially with my dissertation. The campus is constantly being modernised so you're effectively studying on a building site, that said when construction was finished the building was great, but only if you do business and law no other courses have lectures there and have to deal with the old damp buildings. Despite the lovely new building the quality of teaching for business was still lacking with many lecturers clearly wanting to be doing anything else than engage with students. Many positive reviews about this place were written with lecturers standing over students shoulders questioning anything negative written. DON'T GO HERE!

Course was very disorganised, often getting important deadlines and dates incorrect. Lecturer barely showed up for the most crucial parts of 3rd year. Feedback was never aimed at improving artistic ability or professionalism, more so at aiding in getting an internship-which for the vast majority was not a likely path to take after the course. A small percentage of students were favoured over the rest of the group, creating a clique amongst the lecturers and said students.

Started uni here and got in a mentally and physically abusive relationship with another student. That person got kicked out of campus halls by the university whilst I was involved with him. When it got to its worst point at the end of the year - to the point where I was in a situation where had to run for my life, I then went to student conduct at the end of it all and asked for their help. All he got was a warning and another chance to come back to uni. When he actually broke every rule in the student conduct agreement. I gained mental health issues at the thought of having to face him on campus. Made me reluctant to go to lectures. He was given many chances prior to this but for some reason my situation still wasn’t the final straw for them to kick him out of uni. This is the worst uni you will ever come across. I got swept under the rug completely. I didn’t fight any longer because I couldn’t relive it anymore. If anyone is reading this is planning to come here, then please don’t.

university is only good if what you're wanting to gain from university is alcoholism and a drug habit, all students want to do is go to the pub, rather than attend lectures. Found style and layout of student halls invasive to my privacy - students staying in flats across the courtyard can see directly into other rooms/flats. Lecturers did not seem to engage the students, let alone themselves in what they were teaching. Support services for wellbeing were abysmal, and found staff patronising. Was promised a myriad of things before starting my course at this university only for it to fall short. I regret my choice of this university and will not being coming back. Very sad as it could be so much better.
