My course is fantastic and staff are really involved! Access to cadman building 24/7 is a big help and allows me to study all hours.
A comfortable place to stay and study with plenty of opportunities for students both professionally and personally.
The WiFi needs some serious work
The Student support teams are very friendly and helpful.
Overall great university. Great selection of courses to choose from.
Great experience so far, great environment
Great course and great teachers
A great platform to engage a variety of different game related courses, and where some of the best years of my life have been spent.
If I could go back I would decline Staffordshire university. The lecturers don't know much and in lectures tell us to google things that they are 'teaching'. The email response time is poor, or you don't get one. Car sharers are split up, yet the university asks us to be 'green' where we can. They have no concept of the cost of living and generally don't care about their students just the money.
All the people at the university are ****** rough and the area is toxic as it is in Stoke. The uni accommodation is laughably bad with paper thin walls which basically means no sleep. I know it is uni but not a single soul has an ounce of respect so good look getting more then 3 hours sleep and somehow still managing to get lectures done. Admittedly freshers is good and people are open and nice but after the first month everyone becomes very closed off. The uni is either full of lifeless alcoholics which is okay the first week but starts to take it's toll, or complete nerds which are almost impossible to make friends with unless you are into the exact same stuff as them (which I guess makes sense for a games design uni). As for the games design you will find it easy to begin with if you follow basically what the lecturer does on screen but the moment you fall behind you are basically ***** as the lecturers are usually only available at the max half an hour before the lecture finishes
Lecturers are good but overall university's facilities are really bad. Lots of hidden costs. They keep cutting founds, but they can't respond to an email in less than a month. Overall disappointed.
Complete scam, staff couldn't care less, pointless complaints system, just want the money, treated like cattle, unsafe location.
Really enjoyed my time at Staffs, with friendly and helpful staff members that make studying easier and more engaging!
Such a personal university experience, it's like a big family.
I have lived here for a very happy year, and the teachers are very excellent.
The games design course is actually really good here compared to other unicersities I’ve tried a year at! Finally settled on one that student finance let me have an extra year of funding for 🥰
Accommodation is very convenient, less than 10 mins walk away from Sainsbury
Really good university experience. Definitely recommend staffs to students looking into higher education.
Great university for tech based subjects like computer science and games development.
The university is well equipped with all sorts of tools you'll need. As in my experience with studying concept art all the things I've needed both in hardware and software have been provided. Outside of the course there's many things what can keep you busy such a as a gym and all sorts of societies/clubs for the chance to meet like minded people.
I can't really say much about the university, since I admit I only go there for the lectures. But for what I've seen, it's great. Lecturers are friendly and helpful, internet is pretty decent - no complaints from me. My reason for rating Clubs/Societies, Student Union and Careers Service so low, is because I haven't really used them, so discredit it if you wish. Love this place though :)
Blackboard could be more clearer
I'm based in the stoke campus and the campus itself is split across two sites which can be a trek if you have lessons on both sides of the campus. Internet speed wise it's decent however several buildings (mainly beacon) I have had my phone coverage drop out and I would like this to be fixed. The library atm is split across two buildings which I don't think works well as walking back and forth is a time sink that wastes time that could be used on studying A wide range of societies available and each are unique and offer a different experience. My main concern is the lack of communication the university does as often we are finding out information at the very last minute and I wish this was communicated on a more regular basis
I cannot review the Careers service properly as I have yet to come across the service, but all of the other facilities are amazing and I am having a great time learning and making friends in the Uni!
Great uni and people are amazing
The only reason I still attend is because the employability has a decent rate and the staff seem to know what they are doing. The facility computers are awful, they rely on onedrives which at random will delete your work and the societies, while there are many, don't offer much inclusivity for people who want to try something new.
Decent but can be improved with the wifi
The uni is really good, the tutors are friendly and helpful and are in touch with what students like. The course is super fun and is still challenging but that's what I love about it.
Good Uni, social and full of events and trips for my course with uniqueness
Amazing University. I came from Wales to Staffordshire as i heard it had some of the best Game Art/Game Dev courses in the UK. The course did not disappoint and I enjoy it so far. The PC at high end and have all the latest software. The uni provides plenty to do out side of lectures with cafes, restaurants and clubs and the student union hosting weekly events and societies to join. Couldn't recommend the university more
The university social life is really good and what makes the experience. What lets it down is the course and the lecturers. They care more about numbers than your development
Staffs is a great uni gives me all the support I need and I enjoy the modules I study
Nursing department great emotional and academic support BHL campus
Amazing lecturers and lectures, lovely campus and teaching facilities.
The uni is alright. Not a great amount of help and direction in places to expand your knowledge. You aren’t really told about resources to do research and you places to practice on.
Lovely place to gain knowledge . Helpful professors and career team.
A good place to study and socialise
it's areally great Uni to study at. i've really been enjoying my time there and i hope to continue enjoying for the remainder of my time. the teachers are really good.
It's not a bad university, it is rather modern in some areas and has food places on campus
It’s all good, the teachers and lecturers are amazing
Amazing uni!!! Great experience here!
Good uni, would recommend to a friend
Good uni. Plenty of things to get involved with.
Friendly place, with a lot of potential to extend your career
Great university, went through clearing and were really helpful. Had my place confirmed within 15 mins
Brilliant place with nice staff
Been here two years and have had a good experience so far (concept art course). Lecturers have all been really friendly, equipment and facilities are easy to access and even though classes have been online this year, they've still been to a good standard. Pre-Covid, classes were always really interesting and the community was/still is fun and supportive. Would definitely recommend this uni.
It's a welcomed space that is full of life
The clubs and societies was lacking as there was not as broad of a range of clubs as typical. Campus and facilities are brilliant with no issues in regards to them.
Honestly not sure, I've only been on campus for my Volleyball Soc but when I went round on open days everything seemed alright
From what I’ve done so far in first year and as well as being in the second term of my first year I’ve not had an awful lot of experience of being on campus but from what I’ve seen it looks good
Not enough funding in the art department, old out dated equipment and little to no supplies given
It's good for games but not so good for anything else. Lecturers have said the uni takes the money students pay for their courses and put it into games, no matter what their course is. This means very little is given to other students and even after paying over £9000, they have to buy their own supplies as all they receive is the space to produce work. As for games, the course "Computer Gameplay Design and Production" has one module about making board games. The lecturers of that course try to justify it by saying it's completely different from computer games and is important. Why would we want to learn something different from the rest of the course called "COMPUTER Games Design and Production? It's clear it's just two teachers forcing their hobbies on students and is disgusting as they're being paid by the students. The other 3 modules are great though, just be sure to spend time tuning your skills if you're struggling but the lecturers will help you and keep you calm.
Due to the current pandemic, I haven't been able to experience much. But so far, it's been alright. College court is the best accommodation from my experience.
When things don’t work anymore, people at College Court will fix it soon after or the next day with brand new ones
I chose staffs uni on Games Art course and now I'm in third year and I am enjoying my time here. The modules are good because the briefs are interesting and every one of them are different so you don't repeatedly work on similar things etc. The teachers provide you with plenty of knowledge and support to help you on your courses.
An awesome community and university with good lecturers.
Can’t say so much on the university as it’s all online classes now.
I've only been at staffs for a term but the support I have is brilliant especially with getting onto campus for practical teaching
I have only been at staffs 1 semester in covid19. The cadman facilities are AMAZING! Not many clubs/societies are for me apart from climbing and skiing but in covid everything is pointless to get involved with. Tutors have been amazing and done everything possible for us, always get responses.
This is a good place to come and study
Good uni, good support on the Music courses. Some staff are better than other but I’m not going to name drop here. Overall, I would come to Staffs again
With covid going on it's a little harder to review, as all my lessons are online, but I enjoyed ember lounge while it was open. Online lessons are still engaging and the staff are always very helpful.
I’ve been unable to experience the full campus clubs and facilities, but the WiFi in the library is really fast, and from what I have experienced, Staffordshire University seems to really care about its students.
My uni has been a good experience so far, however I have not been able to experience much due to the current pandemic. I've liked what i have seen so far and can't wait to see more!
Staff can be friendly but not always the most helpful
Hard to comment about the university campuses etc currently due to the fact it has been closed due to Covid-19 and the country being under lockdown, however I believe the staff have been incredible in dealing with online lessons
Really good really great place to study and relax
I believe that the university is very helpful in aiding with my work whenever I get stuck or confused.
love the e-sports facility that they have to offer at the university! made me want to spend more time on the campus!
excellent, would recommend this university for any degree! amazing teaching from the lecturers!
The university is perfect for my course and i get all of the support i need
Been a little different this final year with covid, with most of the facilities i use closed.
Great university with good accommodation choices and facilities
There are cases of students being sexually harrassed and gaslighted by male tutors that go ignored or are deemed as malicious. Any complaints are turned around and suddenly students get "mental health issues". It's bad enough to have to talk to staff that their colleagues and friends are not the good people that they believe them to be.
đó là một ngôi trường tuyệt vời
Great university. The psychology department are fantastic! I love it here and hope to secure a place on the professional doctorate when I graduate!
Staffordshire University Stafford Campus Has excellent teaching facilities and internet access. However as we are not the ‘main campus’ we get pushed to one side and forgotten about unfortunately. We have no clubs/societies
Good university with good facilities provided. Close to the accommodation
It’s good the campus facilities are very poor and outdated though
My experience has been amazing! My accommodation and course have been brilliant so far and I can’t wait to make more great memories whilst I’m here
Great university for the course I am doing! Great facilities onsite and access to support services if you need them. Onsite wifi is good, but mobile reception for me personally has been less than exceptional
Great games course with excellent facilities like the motion capture studio, tutors are also excellent both in both personality and knowledge
On mobile the WiFi around the campus is horrendous as well as the reception if you use data. Other than that everything at this university is amazing. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, while also offering a lot of support services for students regarding bullying, finance or mental health services. The mystaffs app they have is the best thing to use, and you can even make appointments for several of their services through it, such as student advisors. The layout of the campus might be a bit spread out but getting to one side to the other isn’t too difficult. All the buildings are clearly labelled on the outside, and the only downside is the fact that they’ve renovated and the layout inside some buildings is a bit confusing. I get lost easily and I’ve still managed to find each of my classes. The tutors are the best part of my whole uni experience. Thanks to them I’ve never felt anxious about going to class and I’ve always felt like I’ve had someone to talk about regarding my work.
Super friendly, helpful and determined staff who always put their students first. The campus is very large but very easy to get to point A to B. A wide range of societies and clubs to choose from as well as the ability to create one of your own. The students union are students who are very passionate to help you whenever you need it and create fun day events for the whole campus to enjoy. This university is the best! if you are looking for a fun, supportive and well organised university experience, came to staffordshire university. You won't regret it!
Perfect university beautiful staff
Students Union can be busy one day and dead the next it’s really dependant on who’s there, it’s probbaly better to go to a club or something. Internet is pretty slow but good enough for on campus. Societies fair made me cringe a lot most likely won’t be joining any of those but to be fair they have a karate selection so i’m sure you would find what you wanted, i’m just pretty stubborn with that stuff. Campus is friendly with good facilities but often find there’s not enough PCs in library or in lesson too because of big classes. Overall really nice University though, as a gaming student i recommend it for that as they have all of the resources you need.
The university is one of the best in the country for the course I’m currently doing e.g. Computer Science. The teachers are very friendly and always there to help. The lectures are very fun even though that sounds a bit strange. The university overall is very good and can’t wait to see what opportunities it will give me.
Very happy with my choice of uni. Staffs was my top choice and I was so pleased when I got it. Has exceeded my expectations and I’ve settled in very well. Classes are a great size, lecturers are very supportive and you can never ask too many questions.
Staffordshire is a great university with a diverse range of courses, it allows you to meet alot of nice like minded people who share not only a passion for your course but your hobbies aswell
Overall good Uni. Location is ideal, near all major supermarkets, Potteries shopping center. Good transport link, with Stoke station pretty much on campus.
Good uni, amazing student support and friendly staff!
Nice campus and great lectures
great university close to all the accommodating
Good location for work but on campus Wi-Fi could be improved
Worst uni ever!!!! Studied law there and ended up with mental problems due to bullying and uneducated tutors. Some students happy to do anything for good grades. Sad but true
I really like how supportive staff and lecturers are. A lot workpkacement opportunities
The library is absolutely fantastic. Much better than any other university I looked at. It’s useful for every course as the computers are equipped for nearly every course. Those who need specific software will most likely find it on the Apple Macs or, for engineering and maths, subject-specific computers. The Science Centre is fantastically equipped. They could do with another printer in there but other than that it is fantastic.
Do University is a great place to be studying And the environment is very nice
I received a Master's in Interior Design and thankfully, I did not have to pay for the online courses myself. This particular program is very over rated. It's hard enough to make a Master's in Interior Design program that actually has value in a traditional, hands-on school. I felt that the curriculum was extremely easy and, in some cases, amounted to busy work to justify the tuition. I did learn some things here but nothing I could not have learned reading a couple books. In general, not worth it at all.
