I didn’t stay in the accommodation so can’t comment on that.
Facilities were good, I had all that I feel I needed to complete my work. There was generally always library space/ computer access in many different buildings to use.
I felt that some of the lecturers were not hard-working enough or considering the fact that many students come from backgrounds where English isn’t a first language. Eg. We had a module called banking law and the lecturer NOT even once gave us a model answer for how to write an essay style answer for our exams even though we begged for him to do this as a guide/ structure to help us to know what he is looking for in an essay style answer. That is just an example of what I mean by not hard-working/ considerate.

One of my modules in the first semester for my masters was very tough as I came from an unrelated undergraduate degree background. I learnt from the external teacher of that course that there is much pre-requisite knowledge that would have enabled me to do well and understand terminology and basics before starting the module but we had never been told this by the university we were thrown in at the deep end without warning (those with a non-finance background).

I think the careers department are great. So many useful resources such as access to accounts that help you practice employer style psychometric tests, meetings with advisors, continuous emails with career opportunities, continuous career fairs and events throughout the terms I can’t fault them with that.

This is my experience in the School of economics and finance and specifically investment banking masters course. It could be different within another department.

The campus has about 5 different sights to eat (one is a full-on student diner/ restaurant, one is 2 are cafes, and 1 is within the library. This is great as I’ve been to a university where there were only like 2.

The location Of the campus is close to 2 train stations 3-5 mins for one and 8-10mins for the other station which is helpful when running late for class or going home late at night! What would make it more ideal is if there was a close shopping centre or a collection of stores close by e.g. Superdrug, Boots or a Greggs, Mc Donald’s just more shops around would make it better.
