Student & Alumni Comments
"Very focused on employment and experience, providing a very good basis in technical knowledge that I believe I will find particularly beneficial in my future career. Boosted my confidence and ambition."
"It has a good quality curriculum and teachers are focused on their students. Students can access facilities and helpful technicians easily. I could feel that the university tried to hear the feedback from students and reflect it for next year."
"My experience has been valuable, allowing me to undertake a year's placement with a PR agency Starworks Group, which was provided through the university. However, some disappointment has been provoked because curriculum lacks relevant information for starting a career in the marketing/PR side of the industry and research beyond the high-street retail industry."
"I am halfway through my degree and feel like I have had an enriched learning experience and now I am about to embark on a sandwich year placement in industry which was made available to me through University contacts. I wish there were more opportunities for work experience throughout the first years of the course."
"It was a broad course which I liked at first but do wish I had chosen a more specific course. I wanted to do marketing and it was very heavily weighted on buying & merchandising which I really didn't like. however, I did enjoy my course"
