Main campus is near the countryside which is not busy and noisy like other campus that is in the city! 10 minutes walk to nearest supermarket such as Asda, Sainsbury, etc. Buses are regular and always on time! A lot of support given to the students by the University! Such as housing, money problems, changing courses and your wellbeing. Lectures are very good and helpful! This is my final year as a Psychology undergraduate at UWE and I recommend students to go here 100% you will not regret!

Glenside campus is a beautiful place to learn. I am currently in my second year of adult nursing and so far so good. The amount of support uwe has given me and my friends is second to none. The teaching is made fun and interesting and I feel confident with my progression in the course for when I become a qualified nurse.

I am on the hartpury campus for this university. Everything I have experienced: from teaching staff to on-site social spots to the accommodation - every aspect has been exactly what I needed. The staff are supportive and friendly, the students union are wacky, the campus itself is beautiful.

My graphic design course has really taught me a lot and made me grow as a person. The facilities are also very well equipt at Bower Ashton. My course is based in the centre of Bristol at the Arnolfini, that's also pretty good.

Really good lecturers. Really good nightlife and community. The new business and law building is really modern

My course is adult nursing and glenside campus is completely medical based so it’s nice to be around people that are doing a similar course to me. The student union is probably the worst but because it’s so small no one really wants to go there. The accommodation is also on site so it is really easy to get to lectures

Facilities are okay, but for the amount of students whom all pay tuition, it's just average. The Students' Union shop is too overpriced. I'm surprised students still shop there. Careers services are useful and friendly and helped me find a job. The course unfortunately was not for me. I thought I wanted to be an engineer but I quickly turned my head against engineering after year 2. I failed modules and exams, simply because I hate them. I'm due to graduate this year and honestly, I can't wait. The only thing I'll miss is my trampoline club and the athletics club (along with the people in them, ofcourse)

UWE has just had a brand new business block which has opened up and compliments my learning and just way of uni life so much. The facilities, the course and the general experience I have because of this building makes it outstanding. Before it was really glum in the old buildings but if you study business you will be in the new building and it’s so impressive with so many learning zones, lecture halls and open spaces to do work in. The cafe also sells delicious coffee which keeps me going.

Facilities second to none! Help and guidance rather unhelpful. Feel like they are only there to take money and not give anything back.

Campus is great and convenient with shops, cash points and support. Lecturers are professional and very helpful with one on one if needed. Lecturers upload help onto blackboard also.

A great campus university in North Bristol. Easy access to the whole city. But with bars and shops on campus. And a great students' union

The campus is amazing for my nursing course as it is health care only students this provides a wonderful learning environment and excellent library facilities. Our own tiny SU with other restaurants and spaces to relax. Sometimes communication isn’t the greatest but it hasn’t let my experience down. The uni have been very supportive of any issues that have arisen and I would recommend UWE to any student looking to do a nursing degree!

The University of the West of England offers state-of-the-art facilities. The lecturers are dedicated and provide excellent teaching materials. There is adequate feedback for assignments and assessments. The student union's bar is really a happening place with good food and entertainment. The student union itself is also hardworking in ensuring the students are happy and satisfies.

Good campus, food options are quite expensive, library open 24 hrs which is great, HAS courses need more help, the uni is trying to get better at inclusion but has a long way to go

I study Graphic Design at UWE in Bristol. I get to study in the Arnolfini, an art gallery beside the beautiful harbour. Bristol is an amazing city to study an arts degree in. There are loads of activities to get involved in to be a part of the community. And it can help with your course throughout the years.

The overall facilities are pretty decent, and with a new business block just opening the campus has modern lecture theatres. The campus is huge so no need to worry about lack of space. Student union is responsibly priced and also a decent size. Great support from the careers services and student support.

Like the Uni for it's Social Life and Atmosphere, but the teaching is sub par. My course is ignored and unappreciated. In particular, they often forget to even update their presentations each year so they're not even up to date. Overall disappointing, can teach myself more than am taught by the professors.

the university is average. The staff are friendly and helpful. The student union could have better social events.

I am a third year student studying environmental science, and I’m having the nest time. The lectures are great; they really know their stuff and are very engaging.

The university of the West of England has been a very good experience. The Frenchay campus has everything you need including a bar, shop, utilities and sports facilities. The uni halls are two mins away from lectures and work spaces so there is no rush to get up and easy to come back and eat without travel. Good transport links to Bristol City centre too including a direct bus, plus megabus services running from campus. The halls are a little expensive even though it's in Bristol I feel the choices are a bit too expensive especially for student accommodation. Even the cheapest university offered accommodation is highly expensive compared others in the region and the country. The teaching has been really good and hands on. Lecturers provide loads of materials and respond to help really quickly and effectively. The students Union could do a bit more offering more nights and activities bringing everyone together, I feel they are lacking one or two events mid week like other universities as the events they put on are pretty empty and can feel the students are pretty disconnected unless they know each other.

High quality teaching staff and great employability. Unorganised university timetable. Supportive wellbeing service. Rubbish SU.

The facilities are fantastic and very modern in areas. Some areas may need up dating but it isn’t a problem. I’m studying biomedical science, and the course is very good. Some very good lecturers. We have careers fairs multiple times during the year which has been very helpful- so careers wise, we are very well informed. The student union is great, plus the SU bar is good- it offers good prices for drinks and food.

The university has great facilities for my engineering course and is in a great area for engineering job prospects. The uni are very good at helping getting students placement work and the staff are amazing at making the course relevant to what is going on in the real world now to best ready it's students for work life after graduation. I have really enjoyed my time so far at the university and the projects we have completed have been closely linked to industry so I feel ready to go and work once I graduate.
