What could be improved?

The sport center is expensive, Treforest campus is boring, the town is dead. The lecturers during my Erasmus year were really bad. Now during my master i think the level of the lecturers is much better, but i think the my master is not developed properly taking in consideration the skills demanded in diferent interviews. The university and the lecturers do not follow the schedules, the clases uually finish earlier that should, if you really want to learn something you have to do it by yourself. One year master with only two days of lessons is not enought to be a master in nothing.

Reviewed by Rachael James who studied Undergraduate Law LLB in 1.

What was really good about the experience?

The quality of teaching was next to none. Tutors were genuinely interested in the achievement of their students as well as each student's goal. The course gives you a lot of true-to life work experience which really stands out on your C.V. The sports facilities were incredible. Friends from other universities were also suprised when they heard what was on offer. Location - the university is situated in what has become a student community but, is still close enough to the busy city life of Cardiff.

If you asked me 3 years ago, I would say the union but now, we have the best union in the country! Really can't think of anything; I have a lot to thank the university for.
