I love, love, love this univeristy. I get incredible support, amazing opportunities and great communication with my course leaders and lecturers. The accommodation is amazing, the 5 day grace period is just perfect and the sociology course is incredibly interesting especially after year 1

I used to lose my wallet in the garden of UWE but my friends, the security team help me to find it

The su shop is way too expensive

I couldn’t have chosen a better University and would recommend it to everyone.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Fab uni. Great campus that keeps expanding and being updated. The tutors are all friendly and helpful. Support is there if needed. The halls of residence are nice and the night life in Bristol is the best! You’d be stupid not to go here...
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Wish there was more contact hours/help getting work experience/extra work. But great uni experience in an amazing city.

Really good network with companies
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Frenchay campus is where everything is if you are at bower you are pretty much an outcast and not much happens there.
Thanks for your feedback; we're sorry you feel this way. You can discuss activities and events with your course rep or the Students Union. Hope this helps.
Absolutely fantastic university - The university experience is phenomenal . No regrets.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
This university, while maybe not the oldest or most well known, is rapidly rising through the ranks - and for good reason. With excellent teaching and a keen focus on the stem subjects (to be expected from what once was a polytechnic institute), UWE is set on increasing its reputation and becoming a force to be reckoned with. It is particularly well known for its robotics and aerospace work, with large facilities catering to these subjects. Admittedly, the lack of history behind the University does hinder it in terms of projects outside its specialities, for as well regarded as it is in the STEM subjects, it does not yet have the same reputation in the humanities - nor the history to back it up. Time will tell if this is something that will change in the coming years.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback; we really appreciate it.
Helpful staff, friendly environment, providing even to international and European students a place, where they can feel security away from their home countries.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Had an amazing experience her compared to my friends at Russel group unis they’re a lot more supportive and helpful, the campus is nice and the students are less snobby

AVOID THIS UNI. I'm just about to finish my degree at UWE. The curriculum has been terrible you basically do the same thing every year. The level of teaching is awful if you manage to sit through one of their tedious and unengaging, if you ask a lecturer a question it's very unlikely you will get a clear or even correct response in most cases. I have been let down and lied to by this uni and people should avoid it. For example my dissertation supervisor didn't even know what the learning criteria was. My personal tutor lied to me on the open day about professional qualifications when I queried it I was ignored when I pushed it further I was still ignored. All in all I wish I never went here what people say is true it is awful, and if someone says otherwise they are either lying to make their degree sound better, or have been force to write a positive review with their lecturer standing over them. However the facilities are nice so long as you're a business student otherwise its a dump.

Cannot believe we pay so much for so little. Gross campus, dire uni halls.

All good, wifi can be quite bad though
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! Sorry you experience problems with the WiFi - there are some hints and tips here: https://www1.uwe.ac.uk/its/usingitatuwe/connectingtowi-fi.aspx
UWE has such an accepting, chilled vibe and as a university it really cares about stidents’ well-being. There are organised events more than once a week and the facilities are always top notch.
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UWE has state of the art facilities including a new law and business faculty. The new engineering faculty is being built and I have not seen a university that is as up to date as this one. The students union is a good place to go but it’s not as cheap as it could be. The university does lack open spaces to sit on nice days ( there used to be a massive area where the engineering building is being placed). I have loved my experience so far at UWE
Thank you for your feedback; we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! Have you tried Stoke Park, which is near to Frenchay campus? It's a short walk away and is lovely in the sunshine.
The best facilities to study architecture.
That's great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing!
The accommodation has been a nightmare with me having to leave campus to get oht of my house. Accommodation did nothing. Had some good lectures but the rest have been useless and patronizing.
Hello, we're sorry this has been your experience. Our Accommodation Team works hard to support students who aren't happy in their choice of accommodation. Would you like to send us a direct message via: infopoint@uwe.ac.uk so we can discuss these issues with you.
UWE is a fantastic progressive university, great for anyone looking to further their future in a well connected friendly environment.
Thank you for sharing this; we're so pleased you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience.
love it here its such an amazing city
Great to hear! We love Bristol too!
Can't complain, their SU is good with events and there's loads of things to join in with around Bristol. Great facilities.
Great to hear you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience!
Nervous about first week, however settled right in. I’m currently having the best time of my life and I’m so glad I picked UWE!!
Hi there, we are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol so far! Starting university is always a nervewracking experience but we're delighted you settled in quickly.
Literally the best uni I could have imaginened to go to! Not a bad word to say
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good university life but there is room for improvement
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We'd really appreciate finding out more about the areas of UWE Bristol that you think could be improved. Please can you send an email to: infopoint@uwe.ac.uk with some more feedback?
It's a good uni, lots of events and help from teachers, always spaces to study and get work done. Parking is utterly awful though, I've you're not in by 10am you'll be circling the car park for half an hour for a space.
Thank you for your feedback - we're aware of issues with parking at Frenchay campus and are working to improve this.
Uwe is great and nursing is such an amazing course here! Bristol is the best city and I really think the lecturers are fab!
Hi there, thank you for your review. We are really pleased to hear that you are enjoying your course! We're proud of our state of the art facilities in nursing and midwifery.
Great university with comprehensive support for all students. This is made all the better by the business/law building which is nationally competetive
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Providing our students with all-inclusive support and advice is of the highest importance to us so we are really glad that you are pleased with our services. It's also great to hear that you have enjoyed our award-winning Bristol Business School!
Great night life, started to build really modern facilities. Needs better sports centre
Hi there, thanks for your review. We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying our modern facilities. We'd really appreciate hearing how you feel our centre for sports could be improved. Please can you contact us directly: centreforsport@uwe.ac.uk
UWE balances a more vocational/ coursework driven approach along with traditional exams brilliantly and allows you to show what you know in the best way for you.
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good facilities with constant improvement, I would like more support for alumni as certain buildings and facility's are pointless for current students and the sharing of facilities between faculties. Apart from that there is a club for everything, social media places for accommodation and a good social media presence.
Thank you for your feedback.
Overall performance of UWE is totally in satisfactory level in terms of facilities and services. In learning, all the Lecturers are keen to support the students needs at anytime when they got free time.
Thank you for your feedback.
Uwe has felt like nothing but home to me since I’ve got here. The moving in and settling in went smoothly, along with settling into university life. Not only starting lectures but socialising with the help of the freshers events put on at the SU and promoted by the Student Union. Also halls wars allowed me to meet people from differnt corners of campus and really allowed me to make a diverse set of friends. Even after freshers the SU and uni have continued to put on events and with Christmas coming up I cannot wait to take part in them.
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe campus is lovely and is perfect for someone who is wishing to stay on the campus (frenchay) it has basically everything you need (shops, cafe’s, gym, bar, hairdressers ect) Also the location of a Lidl, Asda, Sainsbury’s and a mega gym within a 5 minute walk is also really useful. The business block is also amazing and the lecturers are also super nice and are always willing to lend a hand.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Really lovely uni with lots of opportunities
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe is the most friendly university ever! Things are always changing due to the students needs, such as free black and white printing now!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Best decision I ever made was to transfer to UWE!
Thank you for your feedback and we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Great but bower lacks in societies, public transport (buses don’t run till late and not on weekends and the cafe isn’t amazing for hot food. Tutors are fab and love my course but spike island feels a bit far away and disconnected from the uni. Not much uni culture.
Thank you for your feedback - we're sorry you're feeling a bit disconnected. Have you spoken to your tutors or fellow students about this?
Friendly university with extremely helpful staff who push you to do better. I believe it to be looked down upon when in actual fact we have great facilities for learning and recreation which provides a rilliant environment to develop socially and academically.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Its an amazing uni massive library open 24/7 as well
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Having come for postgrad from Bristol Uni, I have been very impressed by UWE, there’s more space, more diversity and a general lack of pretentiousness.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
UoB but with better teaching and support
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
While the SU is relatively good, with a good variety of societies to choose from, one can't help but feel this is solely for the monetary gain that comes along with it. The mental health facilities at UWE are lacking, to say the least. I remember in 2016 a student at halls decided to end their life, and it was quietly pushed under the carpet, I remember no awareness campaign for mental health or anything. I suffered with terrible depression at my 2 years at UWE, I told lecturers about it, I was told that they can't do anything and I should speak to welfare. Understandable, but they never even bothered to drop me an email and see how I was. When I went to welfare, the treatment I got was rude, condescending and to be frank, pointless. I told them many times I was really struggling, and not once did they contact me outside of my appointments unless I initiated. It got so bad that I eventually dropped out entirely. If mental health services are a deal breaker for you, don't go to UWE.
Great uni. Love the feel of the campuses and I feel teaching is to a high standard
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!

I got all the experience I needed at UWE to start my career. I really enjoyed my time and had all the support I needed both personally and academically.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Good uni good campus good facilities
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
The university have been helpful with settling in and the course I am on is interesting, however there are some courses which have lectures recorded and others which don’t and will refuse to either put slides up before lectures or record them to help students who many need that extra support.
Thanks for your feedback. Have you spoken to your lecturers about this? They may be able to help.
The university has excellent and very modern facilities. The staff is welcoming and there is help service 24/7. Lecturers give their best to students and present the material in a fun way.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
The new business block not only makes me want to go to uni but the facilities there bare top quality

UWE offers continuous support throughout your university degree. From education to mental wellbeing. Loads on offer to help develop your CV during your time there to!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I don’t have a bad word to say about UWE. All I’ve experienced since arriving, are caring and supportive staff willing to help out any way they can. As an international student, I was weary about having no support from university and having a tough time. I couldn’t be more wrong. They have specific facilities for international students available when you need them!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
I go to bower ashton campus which is a lovely campus being surrounded by deer and countryside whilst still being in the city, it is a great place to learn. Great facilities, with a whole building dedicated to film, animation and photography which is great.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
So much support & great facilities.

Does what it sais on the package
Thank you for your feedback!
Great university, great people. Lecturers know their stuff and the course is interesting
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
An excellent uni if you are doing one of the more popular degrees. However if you are doing a smaller degree the facilities are nowhere near as great as the brand new business building. The library is great though, it has everything the students need. As a former representative I can quite easily say the students union is one massive b****fight and nothing worthwhile is ever passed (Although most students don't even care). However societies and clubs definitely make up for this and get students a lot more engaged with their peers. The uni is perfect for those who love going out and equally as much for those who don't.
Thank you for your feedback!
Great support for students, great employability skills
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Uwe has exceeded my expectations by q million

Amazing Staff, Amazing Campus and Amazing Nightlife!
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol!
Overall a postive experience. Stunning site and good local means. Glide wifi is rubbish so needs tweeking.
Thank you for your feedback - we couldn't be happier that you are enjoying your time at UWE Bristol! We're aware of some wifi issues and working to improve this.
Wonderful atmosphere with brilliant facilities including the new Business and Law building in the centre of the campus and vibrant Student's Union.
Thanks for sharing this! We're really glad you're enjoying your UWE Bristol experience!
Brilliant SU, new business block is incredible, good library. Really enjoyed first year. Would definitely recommend UWE to other people
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
Pretty sick and the night life isn't too bad either
:)
Such a good university, especially for business.
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
Good student and career support but not enough student facilities such as gym
Hiya, which campus are you based on, as we have a gym on Frenchay campus?
Really enjoyed first year, couldn’t ask for a better experience
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing this!
The university provides excellent conditions for students , a lot of support for any kind of problems a student can face ( e.g. financial support , well being support , academic support, carreers support etc) . Also the staff has a positive attitude and it determines the students to enjoy the courses . I am very happy with this university and itnos a pleasure for me to study here. ❤️
Love feedback like this; thank you! We're so glad you're having such a great experience!
Absolutely amazing university and I’m so glad that I go here
Yay! So pleased to hear this!
Really good uni with amazing facilities and support network
That's great to hear! Thanks for your review.
A uni that helps you get where you want to be. Doesn't train just you to be a reseacher It trains you to be a professional. Has great lectures, I haven't had one complaint about any and all my friends at other unis have. The tutors really care and everyone's willing to help. Just because it's not a Russel group doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually better then them because it's more interactive and job focused. Russel groups are for researchers. If you want a job go to UWE.
We love feedback like this; thanks so much for sharing your experience. Measures to prepare our students for their future careers are built in to every course that we offer. We work with our industry partners to develop ready and able graduates who are equipped to make a positive contribution to their chosen profession or further study.
Great facilities with excellent lectures.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Incredibly supportive academics, good facilities and help outside of the classroom too e.g. mental health
Great to hear this, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic university with great facilities
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I love my university its perfect for everything I wanted!
Delighted to hear this; we love it too!
Awesome campus, the internet is surprisingly fast and the facilities are always well maintained.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
So far pretty good uni. Made some great mates through special interest societies. Good wellbeing service which helped me through a rough patch.
That's great to hear! We're really proud of our wellbeing service and we're pleased we were able to support you. We have more than 200 different wellbeing services and activities at UWE Bristol, including workshops, counselling support and drop-in sessions. We offer a range of 24/7 support for students including an out of hours senior on-call support team, Nightline – a phone-based student-to-student support service, and Kooth Student – a free, anonymous, online platform offering advice and forums.
Some of the building are dated, but the new business building is amazing. If you choose a business related course, you’ll get a quality degree. If you want to do a humanities course I would look at University of Bristol.
Thanks for your feedback about our Bristol Business School - we love it too! We’re investing significantly in our facilities and learning environments. Work will begin on our new state-of-the-art engineering building this summer and we have plans to modernise the University and our satellite campuses significantly.
As a Business Student I was able to experience the brand new business building, which has an extremely cool modern feel to it as well as a great canteen area. I personally didn’t go to many societies (just drama) but at the society fair there were hundreds of options and many of my friends loved some of their societies. The SU is also really new which was great, it has some cool facilities such as a pool table and the drinks there are nice. I’ve heard the food is pretty good too! However a small criticism is there was a toilet door that wasn’t replaced for a while and also it’s a tiny bit in the small side. I personally never really used careers due to having a clear idea anyway, so I just put this as a 3. The internet is pretty good, eduroam works well and does its job, though sometimes it can get a tad slow due to heavy traffic, though it is always fine for work purposes.
Thanks for your feedback about Bristol Business School; we like it too! Your other feedback is really helpful for prospective students.
loved every single moment of it, great day and night life
So great to hear! Thanks for choosing UWE Bristol.
UWE has a fantastic support network for students. The staff genuinely care about the students and that's shown by great events the SU puts on and the services they provide like accommodation help, the job shop and wellbeing services. The careers service is also really helpful, especially because you can use it for a year after you graduate! UWE also supports students socially by showcasing their awesome societies, there are so many to choose from! You will definitely be able to find a great friendship group joining a society, no matter what your interests are :)
That's great to hear! We're really proud of our wellbeing service and we're pleased we were able to support you. Your other feedback is so helpful for prospective students as well, so thank you for sharing your experience - and for choosing UWE Bristol.
UWE Bristol is a very welcoming place which is great for students to easily come in and get into the groove of University. All the lectures are useful as well with helping with work and so forth.
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Wifi is funny sometimes but the wired internet is pretty good! I have yet to meet a mean person and the staff do seem to care about problems i have
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're really proud of our wellbeing service and are pleased that we've been able to support you.
Great location, great facilities.
We agree! Thanks for your feedback!
2nd year media and journalism student. They trialled a new module on our year that clearly didn't work and now we're all left with bad grades that effects our graduation.
Hello, we're sorry to hear this. Have you spoken to your course leader about this?
Have had a really good first year, the facilities on campus are amazing and are so accessible, and the university is in a great location.
