The campus is beautiful but a bit complicated. We were sometimes late for class as we had to run from one end of the campus to the other. The facilities can be a bit annoying, it is hard to find everything you need in the chemistry labs.

The university campus its self is lovely and there is great facilities to take advantage of but I feel like the communication between lecturers and students is lacking.

Overall the university has a good rep and is good in terms of what it offers on the whole. It has provided a great opportunity to study abroad easily by having 2 campuses based Dubai and Malaysia. This was an amazing experience that i recommend everyone does if they get the opportunity. The grounds of the uni are lovely and nice to wander on a nice day. Union is also decent with a cafe and pub, i have never used the nightclub in the middle however. Food in the union is cheap and cheerful but is certainly more expensive than other uni unions from other experiences. Food at the uni is expensive in comparison to elsewhere which is not helpful for us poor students! There are plenty facilities for all but there is a fair bit construction at the moment in the library which has been a little inconvenient at exam times. Where the uni lacks is the current-ness of the subject content and, in some cases, lecturer quality. Most lecturers have been fine but there has been the odd one that has brought it down. The courses need updated to really show what is happening. I study business and marketing still focuses on traditional channels rather than giving us knowledge and detail into the digital world of marketing and data analytics.
