Great Experience

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

very good

Currently having a great time at Swansea. Currently studying history and can say that the lecturers for the most part are very helpful. I do feel the choice is relatively Eurocentric but still good. Good nightlife too.

Nothing to show

University of Wales Trinity Saint David

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is a good university for students who want strong teaching, smaller classes, and a supportive environment, especially in creative or applied subjects. However, it may not be the best choice if you are looking for high global prestige, major research opportunities, or a big city student experience.

Loved every minute of my time at Worcester!

I have recently completed my nursing degree at the University of Worcester and can honestly say I loved every minute of my time there. The uni itself is a bright and modern space with many facilities on campus, for example, a cafe, Starbucks, Costa, student union, a campus shop, lots of computers, student services, academic writing support etc. The main thing I liked the most about Worcester was the sheer amount of support I received over my three years of nurse training. I went through many tough times both academically and in my personal life and there was always someone there to give me help and support from my personal tutor to student services. The university also has a library on a separate campus not too far away (within walking distance) called the Hive which is a purpose-built university and public library. There are hundreds of computers to use and the variety of books on offer is huge. I always used to go here to do any work as there were quiet areas too. I can’t comment on the accommodation as I lived at home whilst studying, but I have heard good things about the accommodation. In terms of nursing, the university has a small building on the main campus site which is dedicated to nursing and other health courses as it has mannequins where skills can be practised safely in small groups. All the nursing lecturers were amazing, so knowledgeable and approachable. If I want to do a postgraduate course in the future, I will definitely be returning to Worcester. I’m so sad to leave as it has really been the time of my life!

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
