The University of West London has gone up in the ranking, from 34th to 23rd place out of 121 universities, which must mean something.
As a second-year student in UKCBC, College of Business and Computing in partnership with the University of West London, I am proud to hear that UWL is improving, but I don’t see the fruit of the improvement on my campus. Overall the program is well structured and designed, with sufficient time between each assessment and break, reassuring students can make the deadlines and achieve the desired marks.
The campus is located in a relatively quiet area on Liverpool Street, compared to the main street. Very easy to access, with several underground and train stations facilitating the students to attend even on busy days and pick travel times.
The facilities are very good and new. However, in the two years, I have been there, both elevators have probably worked twice, leaving us with one always crowded as sardines travelling up and down the floors.
This year the module lecturers are very well prepared and always ready to help, which was not the case for all lecturers last year. The reception staff is also very friendly and professional, if there is any problem regarding the course or even personal issues, they will advise you.
I had some issues and was not happy with the solution that the campus manager provided, honestly he did not help me at all.
I had to chase him down and figure out solutions for my issue myself, given the fact that I am paying tuition for my qualifications, I expected at least to get connected with a student support services that could be in support. Anyway, what I want to say is, I don’t believe there is perfect, there are always advantages and disadvantages to any University. Finding balance is key to achieving your goals, not only with your degree but with anything in life, and I have found that, is it the right choice for you. You decide.
