Very good university and affordable
Really good uni lovely staff everyone is super friendly
On a PGCE course at the moment. Today is 06/10/23. I completed my Subject knowledge enhancement course before September 23. I have yet to receive any communication or my bursary or my SKE or PGCE. This leaves me short £3500. I cannot recommend this uni due to the financial hardship I have found myself in. Multiple people on my course have yet to go on placement due to issues with enrolling. Be VERY cautious.
Reading about the University of Wolverhampton as one of the top institutions for studying health and social care piqued my curiosity in enrolling there. The University of Wolverhampton offers its students the best support ever. I'm an international student enrolled in the MSc in Health and Social Care programme, and I haven't regretted my time as a student on this campus once. My lecturers work nonstop and are always improving their efforts to make sure we get the highest scores and experiences. My university has the best support system, is the most diverse, and is inclusive to everyone.
Absolute shambles of a place, couldn’t get on the system for the first 4 weeks, got sent to wrong lessons left, right and centre, zero support, got given THREE separate deadlines for ONE assignment then received (what I feel as) an announcement to the class to make me feel like an idiot.. Seriously, if you care about your mental health, future and want to get a degree - avoid this place like the plague! (Unless you like arguing and waiting weeks for a simple answer)
University is an actively a University of opportunities, where we can achieve our goals with fun
Uni is okay. No student bars or clubs like other universities have. The library can be treated as a social hub sometimes which can be annoying. However new infrastructure has raised the standards of the uni and the Law is school is good.
Dont feel anyhelp from the SU. Lack of presence is felt
good university, rlly good teachers, campus activities (walsall) could use some work as it is very quiet
Amazing university, a wide range of societies and socials, helpful staff and they support you during your duration of the course
Studying biomedical science and haven’t had any issues at all so far. University has been great, only criticism is sometimes a lack of information especially during welcome week
Great campus Friendly staff Excellent spaces for working and studying
University is very supportive and has a broad range of facilities students can use during their times here.
The university has the greatest facilities. The lecturers are knowledgeable. All the teaching buildings and libraries are distinct and splendid.
Shocking, truly shocking, only interested in getting your money, zero support and treated appalling as a deaf student, if I could give minus stars as a rating I would.
The university is good and has all the resources you need as long as you apply yourself. I've really enjoyed learning here these last 3 years.
My biggest mistake was to choose this university over others, it’s been more than one year since I am studying here, and paying over £12000 a year and still I have no access to classes, university itself doesn’t know what to do with the students, they are making sudden decisions, no one to answers your questions or to support you, no help was provided by the university during COVID time. Worst experience ever
From my experience so far, I don’t have any issues with the university or the facilities available.
University of Wolverhampton is good place for studying. Teacher and unversity staff are very supportive. All of facilities is new and very convenient to use. Many great opportunities and societies are provided for you to have a wonderful experience and can be use in real life.
Have gave amazing support through the pandemic
my biggest regret was picking the university and rejecting the other.
I have been studying for my professional doctorate at the university for 4 years, I am a lecturer teaching and supporting students in nursing, have been an external examiner here. I could not recommend this uni. poor supervision, unable to change supervisors, 12,000 pounds paid not to mention bullying by some senior lecturers and I have been nursing for 40 plus years, I WOULD suggest Keele or Coventryor Stafford for any courses if you are in the midlands There is no right to redress, and this is not a bitter student, as I said via feedback, as a lecturer I would be so very ashamed if any of my students had the experience of education I had at Wolverhampton, I have worked for uni of Hull, Open University and been an external examiner at Keele, Plymouth, Leeds, Northumbria, Teeside, Sheffield, Wolverhampton so have a pretty good idea of universities and standards students should expect, sadly my experience has been dire at the university of Wolverhampton school of Health and Wellbeing.
Highly recommend to the law degree
Absolutely love everything about this uni
Lovely uni. Walsall campus was small and just what I needed. Great gym and stuff, student union is great too.
Terrible university, teachers marked people discriminating against non-English and working class students. Gave countless opportunities to students who skipped classes, but other students who missed one lesson got punished. One teacher clearly favoured lgbt students and let them off with everything, whilst another was openly sexist to Male students. I had comments made about me in my exam feedback because I cant afford the same things as other students. Do Not attend if your not at least middle class.
Good university. You don't have much to in the city. But Birmingham is nearby. So you have plenty of things to enjoy
Great university , i love my course and the staff are really great.
Staff doesn't care to teach, only read of PowerPoints. You get delayed email replies as staff always claims to be busy. there's not much support available and the staff don't care about your opinions its like going around in circles with them, they don't address your issues and give general, vague answers when they do reply.
This isn’t the perfect university but the University of Wolverhampton offers no nonsense courses for people who just want to get on professionally. City campus is constantly being improved and has good facilities. The teaching has been supportive and informative if a little impersonal. The only complaint I would seriously have is with the universities own recommended city accommodation on Lomas Street, I have had a very poor experience especially when it comes to mental health. If you commute or stay elsewhere then you are in for a good time
Great university. Has so much to give.
I LOVE the university of Wolverhampton - it is my safe haven and is so beautiful in every sense of the word. I have had fantastic experiences in everything I have come across so far and I cannot thank everyone I have met enough.
I was absolutely desperate how the teachers are discriminated against the students who are not from the UK. The rooms were freezing cold. They are a mixed students from 19-50 years old in one group. The younger one does not respect the older one, does not want to study teachers are not give them attention to leave. I would click them off. All uni just focus on the money nothing else. Shame on you.
I just started my Bachelors course in Computer Science and I do love the the uni staff and environment very muchhh
Telford Campus is a disgrace. I have spoken out against situation that happened to me in halls. Cleaners watching where you go and what you do. Security staff stand around doing nothing even had one cleaner say we don't do much anyway and laughed. Yeah to busy watching me . Mover guy tries to wake you up for fun early hours on Saturday morning. Move student to the worst building every in the summer, then gave NCS kids out our nice rooms, treating us like trash. Student union back up accommodation services no matter what. Contracts for accommodation are written for the university and no rights for the student try clicking on links they don't work. Staff for accommodation services in general manager etc are harsh and nasty and unsympathetic. Want you money and could care less how you may be feeling. At breaking point and feel alone and isolated. Always going on about how full Telford Campus they just make it loo like its full spread us around. Not sure why?
They fail you on purpose and give their favourites higher grades, despite their assignments lacking any content. I would urge people not to attend wolverhampton university!
Ideal location in the centre of Wolverhampton with modern facilities. Constantly investing to improve student experience.
This is one of the worst university to study in, if you are an ethnic minority and particularly an international student. I did my undergraduate and master degree in the UK, and found the quality of education top notch. However, to my naivety, I unfortunately choose this university to undertake one of their professional doctorate's. As an ethnic minority and an international student, they wasted three years of my life, took away 28,000 pounds of me, made me slog to do free labour for the NHS, I worked on my research and the taught modules. They did not give me the credit or recognition for the clinical hours to the NHS, did not gave me recognition for the research undertaken and did not fully credit for the credits I earned on the taught components which is violating my basic human right. To add to the insult and exploitation, they refused me to attend the graduation. I have reported them to the human rights commission.
I was an overseas MBA student and I can say that my overall experience is bad . The university team of UK is haughty influenced with the local team of overseas campus. The grading system is not fair and they follow the bell curve technique despite the quality of work . I don’t recommend it for overseas students
God awful everything. Avoid at all costs.
The team at the SU are great. They assist where ever they can. The events held are great also, well @ wolves includes doggy destress days which everyone loves. The uni campus its self is always clean, however food is not good value for money.
I love this university as it's near to where l live and very great university
Not a good experience! I started Wolverhampton uni in 2015 and left the following year. The course content was interesting, however a lot of the time the lecturers didn't show up! We often had a replacement tutor who didn't understand the topic and at one point we were left sitting at our desks for over an hour, as no tutor showed up at all! We were told that the course would take place at the city campus, however we discovered that in the second year some of the modules would take place at the Telford campus! I chose the university because it was local and there was no way I would have the time to travel to Telford and then back again. I was not informed of this at interview! The facilities were ok and plenty of books in the library. That was probably the highlight of the experience! None of the people on the course were happy and although I didn't have any problems with them personally, other people on the course did! Some of the lecturers were ok but some snotty and condescending.
I am a final year student and a single parent. It wasn't clear to me that i have to do compulsory placement days of over 200 days as part of my degree. I have never to date gain any sort of support from the university, I have to pay my transport to placement and on top of it pay childcare for my two kids, due to the nature of the course, I have to give up my job my biggest regret to date. Even to get the university to confirm my enrolment to student becomes a big problem. I think the university of Wolverhampton is for young learners and not for matured learners or parents especially if you are a lone parent.
Not liking the way grades are put up on evision, and not specified enough
The university is getting better. Refurb and new sections are making it a great place to study. However having 40 societies, means that social activities are limited. However this is the students fault more than the university. They can't create societies if no one wants them. Eduroam is bad where ever you go.
Some staff members are fantastic but too many of them are unforgivingly awful at their job.
It was poor mostly rundown faculty in the regards being how the law department had been run as I had prior knowledge to what they had already had in mind in teaching let alone I am only a 1st year law student in college!
This university is a disgrace. They do not care even a little bit about the students, it is full of lazy staff who are more interested in cutting corner rather than the quality of the students learning. They are rude and very unhelpful. The university is also severely unorganised. They are robing millions of £9,250 a year and quite frankly would wish a place at this university on my worst enemy. Whatever you do, do not apply to this university. Aside from the university it self being abysmal, the accommodation is a complete shambles again run by staff that do nothing and lack the ability to take responsibility and actually do their job. Might I add it is not expensive but not even worth the price they are charging, that says a lot. The people that run clubs once again rude. Not much room for growth or career progression all they've done is add stress and send unnecessary emails. Quick reminder, STAY AWAY.
Absolutely disgusted with this university the treatment of disabled students, they ridicule and lecture students without knowledge of the condition.
Horrible uni, they dont care about the students and teach irrelevant things. I only like one teacher and they are helping me move away from this place. i have been bullied here a lot the students are immature and not clean. there is no gym or gym discount there is only a student union room which has one pool table and a broken ping pong table. the facilities are horrible, there are no reading books only books for research and its honestly just horrible. whatever you do, dont come here (this is the telford campus not the main oen they dont care about the telford campus).
It is very bad universally specify the pharmacy department which is full of corruption. Think 100 times if you want to apply for this university
Here on a review day for law utterly disappointed everything in the lecture have already been taught by my sixth form law teacher; and the law department is not at all great
Not great at all. As someone said you can't get in touch with someone if you need help. They let me do a January start but the programme isn't designed for a January start which I did not know when I started I did the first year backwards which was very confusing. I think they just wanted my money. Once they have that they don't want you. My Dad was ill and passed away in second year which meant I have had to have a lot of time away. They won't let me repeat year even though my funding will allow for it. Facilities are very poor. Wolverhampton is a very depressing place in the Winter. I have to commute which is a complete ball ache and they changed the start times to 9 am when it had always been 10 am. It's not worth 9 grand a year. They even had a secondary school teacher teaching one of the modules. Even though he was good I don't think he knew his stuff as much as other lecturers. It's a really difficult process to put in an extenuating circumstances claim and their Wolf is not good
Excellent teaching and facilities offered to students. Great International Program. Highly recommended for MBA
I've had recently requested a withdrawal from this place. They do not care about the students. They consider the Staff first and the student maybe second to last in priority. Staff are sadistic and will defame you to their boss so that you are removed from their topics for absolutely no reason. The higher-ups will make every possible choice to make your academic life a living hell. They will not allow you access to services you are entitled to. They will record your emails and will turn the slightest action of yours against you. Students' voices are not heard, the Student's Union will side with the staff and you will be the one at fault in the end. They will not even follow their own rules. They will warn every staff not to contact you and they will brand you as 'unhinged' and 'passive aggressive' if you try to complain. The University will always be right, the staff will always be right and you as a student, if you dare disagree, will go through a disciplinary meeting. Keep away.
The wifi's been playing up recently. Other than that, this is an awesome uni
Terrible, lectures either don't show up or offer little advice or assistance on the modules. Facilities are completely unreliable and they forced me to quit my job since it "effected" my studying hours essentially threatening me with a failure grad, and cost me a lot of money buying books and software that we never used. Got nothing out of the three years i was there.
Somebody got stabbed at uni, and ran away. The university did not even warn other students. They are terrible
Studied CIM course here and was without doubt a shambles, I can't comment on other services in the university and my one star rating is all down to the poor teaching staff. Study elsewhere is my recommendation, unless you like a course where you do everything yourself.
This uni Iso a crap uni, don't bother coming to this uni go to another one. I wish I never came here. Tutors don't really help
I stayed in student village which was nice, the security team were ok. Had a friend who stayed in Gorway Halls and experienced loads of problems. Drugs everywhere, silverfish crawling from the unsanitary bathrooms to their room which was down the hall. The whole building's heating broke and wasn't fixed for weeks in the middle of winter. They hated living there -- stay away.
My time at the University has not been the 'University experience' I had in mind when I came here. The University is more of a adult learning centre rather than a place of vibrant opportunity. If you are 17/18 and looking to come here, don't, just don't. I have experienced more problems here than I would like to. I was involved with a University sports team here and eventually started working here during my last year. It was terrible. The University doesn't support anything. For example, the Student Union (If there is one) supports itself. It doesnt have the basic facilities, like a sports pitch. If you want to come here. Dont, just dont.
My course is quite interesting
I'm at Walsall campus and it's great!
I love going here as it really suits me. The library is fantastic and there are places to go out every night and loads of different scenes at that! There are clubs and societies and the interlinked bus runs between the other campuses to help you get there!
The university have mediocre facilities for social but their facilities for your study are excellent, the lectures are always willing to help and there are millions of opportunities to find work. They have regular careers fairs, they have a workplace which allow you to work as part of the university and show a lot of opportunities to volunteer and/or gain employment.
Could have a better student union ... I've been to other university and they are amazing makes wolves look rubbish. Career support, I've left uni and finding an job based on my degree is hard they want you to have experience therefore all courses should contains some placements to help this happen. Better communication, it's terrible was hard to get in touch with someone when you needed help
Walsall Campus is very good for me personally as a music student as I live in halls on campus and can go to late rehearsals and not have to worry about getting home via transport etc. Also, there are many different opportunities to join ensembles etc in the beautiful performance hub!
All in all a very solid university expirience.
Courses and lecturers are good the only downside is the internet cuts out every now and then
Students Union could do with being more active, but the help they offer students is invaluable. Teaching is great and, from my experience, lecturers are happy to make themselves available at all hours a day - there's a very strong focus on succeeding. Not a lot of green areas, but Wolverhampton has some lovely parks. Sometimes it felt more like a very big School, but then I got lost in MI that one time and decided it was definitely a University.
More like a college, no student atmosphere, terrible quality facilities for university standard. One or two or the societies are fairly interactive, but not entirely sure what the Student Union does as I haven't heard or seen them in the year I've been there.
Social life is not too bad but education and staff is brilliant and helpful.
Great staff and facilities depending on the campus, not all campuses however have facilities or easy access to facilities such as sporting facilities, also very little green area. Students union are not seen or heard of as much as liked nor is the bonding of students across the board.
