University of Cumbria (reviews)

The program was really fascinating as it helped me to enhance my ability to interact in a university environment. The modules were detailed and packed with useful resources, reading and referencing opportunities. The teachers also were very supportive as they always motivate students to continue forward. In a nutshell, university life can really shape one’s future.

I studied Animal Conservation Science at their Ambleside campus, which is in the middle of the Lake District in the UK, so it was perfect for field trips and the lecturers were really knowledgeable and accessible. The small campus, however, didn’t get much notice from the main campuses and the student union and social life side of uni was lacking. However, this has been improving gradually during my time there, so soon might be good enough!
Good if you like the lots of field trips, small pubs, and being able to access lecturers easily. Not good if you want an active SU, a night life and lots of people.
