   If you want to experience bullying in university , come to this one. This is truly one of the worst university. They play with your mental health, support bullying, and call it their “teaching method.” I was bullied in the health department by someone who presented herself as a doctor and a professional, yet showed zero professionalism. When I reported the bullying to the college, they claimed it was simply part of their teaching method. It’s unbelievable that they think they can treat students however they want. My complaint was backed with solid evidence and confirmed by several other students. But the college dismissed it with a ridiculous excuse, essentially admitting that insults and racism are part of their teaching style. This experience left me with two years of mental and emotional distress, and it still upsets me whenever I think about it. This college is truly awful ( one of the words that teacher used about me in front of everyone was “awful.” So you decided that using this kind of language is considered a teaching method? )

   I have been studying there for 6 months during my 3rd year of undergraduate, and it has been the best experience so far. The teachers are so helpful with the students and the atmosphere makes this university safe and unique. I would recommend without hesitation!

   This university is for casual people who want chill university experience at best but not suitable for future careers and study sadly The worst place you could study for Computer Science when I studied was top 20-30s easily almost a decade ago the neighbor Cardiff is easily better by being part of the Russell Group university If you really want to study CS in this uni just choose the Year in Industry option the rest of the lecturers and university don't seem to care for normal students 0 support in terms of alumni and graduate linking which will be evident in your first week as they will give you option to change and final week when you require additional support from them In terms of study wise the quality of lecturers and education is mixed at best some are really great at what they do but they are 1/10 leaving 4/10 terrible 5/10 average from my experience Don't bother to do Foundations for this university its just A level Maths and Mixed Triple Science at best but waste of time and year just to attend this university when the Year 3 modules are the worst compared to other universities which I definitely changed towards better one the difference is night and day The Year 1 is still worst value for money hastily rushed intro to programming and discrete maths but the other half modules in this year are useless Ethics and Professional most time is spent on this useless module Year 2 is where it really starts getting going with busy hectic modules from OOP to starter database to Operating Systems to Automata Systems and depending on your choices but the forced group work for majority of the modules which doesn't need to be group work is what ruins this year and most students are hastily rushed into group to make them teach other for actual cs study Year 3 is final year for the average CS student Year or year in industry for the select few students who chose this option This is the year of specialization and time to publish research but majority won't be able to publish as the quality of information and edge is a decade old where you will realize why did you even pick this uni The information are from 1997 to 2016 at latest depending on modules I would've rated this uni 3/5 but the way the housing staff treated me during the covid times which I will never forget only they know this

   attending this uni was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I 'achieved' a 2:1 in theoretical physics and expected to jump into a fulfilling career in a related field. Instead, I faced wave after wave of rejection in job applications. Like most of my classmates, I've ended up in an industry unrelated to my degree. Trust me, I say this. I learned so little during our time there. Our lecturers would throw out names of phenomena but failed to give us any real context or understanding. Exam preparation boiled down to memorizing past papers and assignments. Without fail, the exams would recycle questions, just with different numbers/modified slightly. I often scored high marks without truly understanding the material. The course felt like a bunch of hoops jumping and box ticking, leading to a degree that lacks any intrinsic value. In hindsight, I wish I'd learned a real world skill like plumbing or electrics instead of wasting four years racking up huge debts. I've often said that my only experience of being scammed was attending university, and I firmly stand by this.
