The campus is on two beautiful sites, with the Catalyst building you an study 24/7 securely with amazing facilities on site. The location is ideal for students who want to go into town or want to be in the countryside. There’s a mix of all ages and the most important thing is the support you will receive here. As a disabled student I thought I would fall behind but I needn’t have worried - I have ongoing support from my lecturers and the last two years feel like five minutes it’s gone so fast. I would do it all over again I enjoy the mix of lectures and workshops we have, and I love the wide open feeling of the Leek Road campus because it never feels like you are hemmed in.

Pretty good university, but perhaps too much focus on the games courses specifically. Would be better to distribute funds more rather than spending so much on something like eSports, for instance. I'm happy with my course but the foundation year felt like a waste as it was too generalised.

Not a university i would recommend as a first choice unless it was one of the subjects they specialise and excel in because that's where the money is spent. If you are on one of these courses you will be awarded with first rate teaching and facilities: if however, your course is like mine it will be budget strapped and marginalised with facilities that are a hangover from the era it was a Polytechnic with variable teaching dependent on the lecturer. I found the careers service laughable, the attitude to classroom disruption a mess and the University is sited in an area that I've never felt a hundred percent safe in: this goes for the wider Stoke On Trent area as it can be a bit suspect in areas like Stoke and Hanley which are very close to the Uni. Both sites are grim. Ember Lounge is fantastic, the Student Union very helpful, Catalyst has a lot of facilities too but if i really wanted to study in Staffs, i would try Keele as it is in a nicer part of the county with a campus feel.

If you want a campus of bullying including lecturers joining in then go here. I’ve just finished studying here, I joined when covid was bad and felt like lecturers used my year as an excuse to go online even when covid had cleared up just for their own convenience. Students ganging up on other students and lecturers joining in is something that has happened on multiple courses at this university as it’s happened to friends of mine too. They also use this in your grade feedback so it looks bad to other employers in future. You can try hard with your work but if they don’t like you you won’t get anywhere so if you’re good at kissing a$$ this university is perfect for you!

Staffordshire uni is a brilliant uni to go to, the staff are so supportive and helpful, the campus is really close knit where everyone knows everyone and it feels like a family. The opportunity to be a student ambassador really topped my experience and enabled me to make friends and have fun whilst earning money around my schedule.I couldn’t recommend it enough.

If I could go back I would decline Staffordshire university. The lecturers don't know much and in lectures tell us to google things that they are 'teaching'. The email response time is poor, or you don't get one. Car sharers are split up, yet the university asks us to be 'green' where we can. They have no concept of the cost of living and generally don't care about their students just the money.

All the people at the university are ****** rough and the area is toxic as it is in Stoke. The uni accommodation is laughably bad with paper thin walls which basically means no sleep. I know it is uni but not a single soul has an ounce of respect so good look getting more then 3 hours sleep and somehow still managing to get lectures done. Admittedly freshers is good and people are open and nice but after the first month everyone becomes very closed off. The uni is either full of lifeless alcoholics which is okay the first week but starts to take it's toll, or complete nerds which are almost impossible to make friends with unless you are into the exact same stuff as them (which I guess makes sense for a games design uni). As for the games design you will find it easy to begin with if you follow basically what the lecturer does on screen but the moment you fall behind you are basically ***** as the lecturers are usually only available at the max half an hour before the lecture finishes

The games design course is actually really good here compared to other unicersities I’ve tried a year at! Finally settled on one that student finance let me have an extra year of funding for 🥰

The university is well equipped with all sorts of tools you'll need. As in my experience with studying concept art all the things I've needed both in hardware and software have been provided. Outside of the course there's many things what can keep you busy such a as a gym and all sorts of societies/clubs for the chance to meet like minded people.

I can't really say much about the university, since I admit I only go there for the lectures. But for what I've seen, it's great. Lecturers are friendly and helpful, internet is pretty decent - no complaints from me. My reason for rating Clubs/Societies, Student Union and Careers Service so low, is because I haven't really used them, so discredit it if you wish. Love this place though :)

I'm based in the stoke campus and the campus itself is split across two sites which can be a trek if you have lessons on both sides of the campus. Internet speed wise it's decent however several buildings (mainly beacon) I have had my phone coverage drop out and I would like this to be fixed. The library atm is split across two buildings which I don't think works well as walking back and forth is a time sink that wastes time that could be used on studying A wide range of societies available and each are unique and offer a different experience. My main concern is the lack of communication the university does as often we are finding out information at the very last minute and I wish this was communicated on a more regular basis

The only reason I still attend is because the employability has a decent rate and the staff seem to know what they are doing. The facility computers are awful, they rely on onedrives which at random will delete your work and the societies, while there are many, don't offer much inclusivity for people who want to try something new.

Amazing University. I came from Wales to Staffordshire as i heard it had some of the best Game Art/Game Dev courses in the UK. The course did not disappoint and I enjoy it so far. The PC at high end and have all the latest software. The uni provides plenty to do out side of lectures with cafes, restaurants and clubs and the student union hosting weekly events and societies to join. Couldn't recommend the university more

Been here two years and have had a good experience so far (concept art course). Lecturers have all been really friendly, equipment and facilities are easy to access and even though classes have been online this year, they've still been to a good standard. Pre-Covid, classes were always really interesting and the community was/still is fun and supportive. Would definitely recommend this uni.

It's good for games but not so good for anything else. Lecturers have said the uni takes the money students pay for their courses and put it into games, no matter what their course is. This means very little is given to other students and even after paying over £9000, they have to buy their own supplies as all they receive is the space to produce work. As for games, the course "Computer Gameplay Design and Production" has one module about making board games. The lecturers of that course try to justify it by saying it's completely different from computer games and is important. Why would we want to learn something different from the rest of the course called "COMPUTER Games Design and Production? It's clear it's just two teachers forcing their hobbies on students and is disgusting as they're being paid by the students. The other 3 modules are great though, just be sure to spend time tuning your skills if you're struggling but the lecturers will help you and keep you calm.
