My overall experience of use is a good one. I have 2 law degrees from yse bud sadly my experience of their physician associate course was dire, so much so that the lecturers were commonly gaslighting students. I was given a full refund of tuition fees and my complaint against 2 female staff was upheld.

UWE is a great institution with good facilities. very happy with course and the services they provide. makes for a efficient place to study and develop as a young individual
UWE has lots of clubs and societies to join, great opportunities to meet new people. UWE offers lots of undergraduates and postgraduates courses and the professors and great and passionate about the subjects
Good uni, had a positive experience so far and enjoy my lectures
The university is a very nice friendly place to be
Needs improvement for Bower Ashton Students, needs more engagement.
UWE one of the best Uni in UK with State of the art Engineering Department sharing with well prestigious universities in the Russell Group such as Uni Bristol and Bath
UWE Bristol is a modern university which is clean and easy to navigate. The staff are friendly and helpful and are in touch with you frequently. I would highly recommend to a friend.
Great, some seminars are childish and menial but everything else is great
The facilities on campus are good, the food is great, lecturers are helpful and available to talk, the campus itself is large and diverse with spaces to sit down near everywhere, very rarely gets backed up with lots of people.
it’s alright, haven’t spent much time on campus because of this “blended learning” but from what i saw it was decent
UWE is alright, it is average in every way. Everything is just about acceptable. The teaching is very good but everything else is highly average.
Idéal place for automotive student
The campus is a perfect size and there are many facilities around so it really is quite convenient. Lecturers are a hit or miss, but overall they provide good support (Speaking from a Business BA pov)
Nice uni the online stuff it’s terrible
Average university. I do business and events management and the business facilities are pretty good.
I fully not recommend this university, totally s*** and wastage of money. They don't understand the students problems, they just only need money that's it. Please do not get admission in this ridiculous university.
Rlly nice people who go here. Annoying the SU is closed on the weekends. The course is good but some of the lecturers are not great.
I still haven't explored the whole university and do not have enough time to attend the activities held in the last two months. But I'm pretty sure that I feel supported and convenient when I access the facilities of the university. The staff of the university is brilliant as well. I love this place and appreciate what the university and staff have done for us.
UWE has great facilities. Even the other 2 Universities in Bristol, have their students use the facilities at UWE (Robotics for example). Clubs are great and always up to something, even through the weekdays. I haven't eaten much around campus, however would definitely like some affordable daily coffee.
It’s been very good so far other than the accommodation services as they didn’t help when I had no where to stay
The uni has a vibrant main campus with everything you need all in one place. Accommodation options on campus are very limited and can be expensive.
The student union is one of the best places on campus and gets very involved with events and everything
Small campus. But people there are nice and friendly.
The campus is big and it is.hard.for students to find.the.exact.building.or room
I like this university and i hope it will be better
Really good, Love the Facilities and the student union
The staff are amazing and the course I am doing is the best!
UWE buildings are sexy and not 3000 years old
Not the real Uni experience, no use of faculities no socialising hasuishswjjsjssj
UWE has been really helpful throughout this app past year, constantly checking up on us to make sure we’re doing alright on our course during this weird time of Covid. Although our year has been mainly online I’ve felt quite supported throughout.
I think overall for the uni everything are quite good
UWE make a great act of caring and being the best, but when you really do end up needing help and assistance they toss you to the side and force you through the most purposely painfully long corrupt system possible. If you’re on frenchay campus uwe will be a good university. If you’re on Glenside (allied health professions) don’t even bother. The halls are awful, the department is shambles. You’ll be made to feel like you don’t matter to anyone. Oh and, especially AVOID Sports rehabilitation.
Because of the COVID-19, lots of face to face activities are cancelled. That's sad.
It’s great and easy to get to school. Although places will cost more energy, it’s fine.
very good！ I like it very much！
Great university and great experience here
undergrad for business, top tier level with latest facilities
The lecturer are alight. Some of them are good but some of them are really really bad. They come to lecture without preparation. The UWE itself isn’t organised. They attached old regulations with the marks which misguided me. When I raised the issue, they agreed that it was wrong but didn’t compensate me for their mistake. Why would anyone study in a university where their regulations are not accurate or misguiding. On top of everything, student has to suffer for their mistake. I lost first class honours because of universities mistake. I appealed for my marks as I thought it was unfair on me. They rejected my appeal. They updated their regulations but didn’t compensate my loss. If I wasn’t misguided because of their regulations or I wasn’t supposed to be misguided or if it is my fault that I got misguided then why did they update the regulations. Seriously guys, save yourself from UWE. I have ruined my 3 years already. Don’t ruin yours. University is expensive so chose wisely
It is so beautiful that we can have a good experience.
Terrible service from a terribly run institution. Lack of organisation has resulted in many issues amongst my cohort ranging from lecturers not knowing how to answer questions based on what they are teaching, wrongly published marks- creating false hopes then completely demoralising you, timetables being issued one day before the start of a semester, the list can go on. Since I started my degree I have had to deal with countless issues such as parking to get to my lectures and being penalised as their car parks are packed to the brim. Communication during Covid-19 has been terrible also, no sense of care towards students, all they care for is getting money in the bank. Very quick to issue fines and chase up outstanding payments, but trying to get help is a mission in itself. I would not recommend UWE to anyone after 3 years studying with them. And to pay £9,250 as well is just a joke.
Teaching is Great, facilities are nice. Overall the campus has really good vibes. But the support staff are absolutely useless, it's like they don't even care. Honestly if you have problems with anything that can't be helped just by your lectures then you are royally screwed. Also if you have any mental health issues, go private or off campus,
Staff are wonderful and friendly. However have not participated in the student union, careers service or clubs and societies.
Love my uni campus! Great experience for my first year:)
During my first year in UWE Bristol I had a brilliant time in my course as there was always help from staff as well as there being really good facilities.
I studied at Bower Ashton Campus and even though at times I wanted to drop out, I have super fond memories of the place. I graduated with a first class degree and couldn’t have loved my lecturers and peers more. Super helpful staff, such a lovely city to explore and the nightlife is A+ (Thekla Thursday will kill you)!
the uni does well for its students
Excellent university with great help
I’ve had a very good experience so far in University.
Great university, easy to get there if you live in the city centre and there are many support especially the wellbeing support team, the learning system is good as well, with different resources
Good university with a lot of bus services
I think the university has done well
Students union is a joke. As a society member they take all our money and don’t help us out at all.
The university has fantastics facilities, accomondation as well as welcoming staffs and students!
Location of the school is a little bit further from city centre. By the staff there are always supportive.
It’s a great school and it’s been a great experience
Awesome campus, it doesn’t feel empty or alone unlike UoB. There is a stronger sense of community here than most campuses. The prices at the student shop are a bit overpriced as there was inflation. The food served at Onezone has also improved, and the subway was a solid addition. Unfortunately I won’t be around to enjoy the new engineering building which is absolutely amazing.
Nice environment. Most staffs are friendly.
good facilities new buildings aswell and free printing
A pretty dead university with minimal facilities compared to others
So understanding when it comes to mental health!
UWE is a fantastic Uni which offers an excellent student experience. The teaching, student support and career opportunities are a key standout for UWE and is constantly on the rise. I would highly recommend UWE to anyone interested in going to university.
Bad students union very dull, Careers don’t know what they are doing
Diverse and is all around great
New engineering block looks fab! Good equipment, and in my field (Aerospace) some excellent lecturers and facilities. Could use some better budgeting so we don't get a brand new block full of high tech stuff right next to a 1970's building full of asbestos but hey ho.
Organisation is an absolute joke. Frenchay is completely seperate to the other (better) campuses.
Absolutely fantastic! Such a fantastic atmosphere around the place, as well as improving massively every single day! From the accommodation to the library, the SU Bar to the classroom facilities, it’s a fantastic place to be.
I really enjoyed my time in bristol however i feel at no point was that due to the uni.
Very family oriented, lectures are always available to help. Facilities are very good often open 24/7, reasonable prices for equipment etc. Accomodation is very very good, especially wallscourt park houses
clubs activities should be included in the campus
At UWE all the money is spent on Frenchay campus so if you're going to Glenside it's like the poorer relative that nobody remembers or cares about. The Wi-Fi is shockingly slow and you can be sat there for ten minutes waiting just to log on. The Frenchay campus have tablets outside the room to show booked study spaces, Glenside doesn't so you're constantly having to throw people out of booked spaces. Questions I have asked the librarians over the net, they haven't been able to answer and have just sent me links and I'm talking basic questions. Considering Glenside homes the health professions there is no gym, not even a running track which is beyond poor. Parking is horrific you buy an annual pass and instead of being assigned a space you'll be lucky to find one, especially when they keep kicking you off for welcome events. Overall lecturers are friendly and approachable and teach well, however you always get one and we certainly have her.
Professional world focus with great links with companies.
I came here on foundation year after not getting the grades. Staff super inspiring and helpful, now I'm top off my class changed course to a better more challenging one.

I studied at UWE at postgraduate level this year and found it to be the best learning experience I've experienced.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you enjoyed your time at UWE Bristol!
Toilet in E block has been out of order for a week now, an example of how the campus runs on a bare minimum. If you fancy a flat pint in a dirty glass then the students union bar is the place to go. These comments are highly nit picky, I understand however it's the easiest way for me to explain the campus experience is liveable but not exactly enjoyable. Teaching is effective and helpful however the engagement hours are low and the timetables always seem to cause inconveniences. I pay over £9000 in tuition and I dont even get a discount in travel costs whereas the University of bristol does receive reimbursement. The internet, you guessed it, is sufficient at best, and unusable at worst. The ISP maintainenece service is slow and unresponsive and the infrastructure didnt work when I lived in halls. In house "eduroam" service feels impossible to log into. This in turn forces me to use my data to access their learning materials as the teaching staff wont print the material half the time.

Really good uni but could put in more SU events like SUesday.

Nice, modern campus - not enough coffee shops/places to eat compared to other universities. Libraries could have more books as they’re sold out of EVERY book I need.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol. We will feed this back to our colleagues in the library. Thanks for taking the time to review us.
This is my second degree my first was at a different university to UWE and UWE far exceeds it. As a mature student the staff couldn't be more helpful. The course work is very in depth and provides you with a thorough knowledge of your topic. The anatomical and normal library are of excellent standards and if you can't get in due to snow etc the lectures are recorded on panapto so you can easily catch up. Very close to Bristol City which is amazingly conveinent.

UWE is a great university all round. Staff are generally very helpful and always willing to give you advise on your course. The campus has very good amenities and is only a short walk away from two large supermarkets (and a Nando’s). Bristol city centre is only a 20 min bus ride away which makes getting to and back from nights out very convenient.

Now that i’m not homeless after their huge accommodation **** up, it’s actually a great uni, everyone is so friendly and all the support is there if you need it.
Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you experienced issues with accommodation - we're glad to hear this is resolved now and that are you enjoying life at UWE Bristol.
The campus is so incredibly tidy, if you need maintenance they come so quickly, the rooms (even the cheapest ones) are so good complete with everything you need. The little things surprised me the most, like the welcome pack. Its such a friendly social uni
