The campus itself has various aspects to it, the newest building being the Gateway which is a mixture of glass and modern design. The other wings in the building have more of a 1950's primary school feel. The course I undergo is the Universities specialty, otherwise it's amongst the bottom tier for all other mainstream courses.

Good amount of facilities, i'm doing a Game Development Course and there is all the equipment and software required.

Uni it's ok. Although majority of lectures don't seem to be very keen in teaching. Loads of abscence, not eager to help students. Although not all of them. Positive about the university is their involvement in technology and arts, quite good facilities to be fair.

Good facilities, modern in some areas but room for improvement, not very social though and not in the most lively of places

Not the best nightlife and a very small uni which means everyone knows each other. But always up to date with events

The university is very good for career opportunities and the location of the campuses. The staff are not fully trained which can make the courses seem not to a high academic standard like Russel group universities. I would recommend a review in the staff at UCFB Wembley.

The uni itself isn’t great, failed to recognise the fact I had dyslexia. Got tested on campus was told I was borderline dyslexic and said I didn’t need a full assessment, privately arranged one and was confirmed I am. So I had 2 years of incorrectly marked work, wouldn’t re-mark considering it’s their fault. The facilities are ok, the union is actually alright. And the lecturers I had were actually decent too.

The university is pretty much okay. My course tutors are completely supportive and are always on the other end of an email. The university's IT support could have a major improvement as things cannot be done without a particular member of their support present, and the others do not know what to do. In some classrooms, some projectors or audio equipment do not work. Some tutors could take the time to become more tech friendly with what they are doing, getting used to how software works. Some of the toilets do not flush properly. The student union is a great night spot, but some events could change around so that the same event don't fall on the same night every week, resulting in people like myself not turning up due to other commitments. There has been confusion within our course regarding whether we it was compulsory or not to get work experience for our Professional Preparation module which could have been made clearer.
