The University of Bolton is a vibrant family orientated community passionate about it's multicultural student body. Their top class facilities shine in the North West of England making students satisfied from their first lecture to their final exam. Me personally, the staff on my course have been delightful and have supported me through and through until graduation and I couldn't thank them enough. Furthermore, the Careers Service have been outstanding. They are so warm and supportive and put me onto my POSTGRADUATE course without any worries, Fantastic Uni! read more

Dont apply for this university, waste of money and time. Only one lecturer (a lady) made an effort others were not worth it. They only cared to get the fees. After the course they just inform home office that we did stop studying instead completed the studies and did not want to do anything to correct it. read more

As a very mature student my expectations were low both academically and socially. How wrong I was! I have made some amazing friends of all ages, from diverse cultures and thanks to the excellent tutors I've exceeded my academic expectations. Choosing to study for an undergraduate degree at Bolton University was the best decision I ever made. read more
