Staffordshire University in generalNewest Review: ... get me there. Most of the staff there have been workin there for a 100 years and couldnt be less enthusiactic about what there teaching and just want to get you out the lectures with enough to get by. I opted to do a sandwich course which involed getting a placement (big mistake) and recvied next to no help in finding one but am still expected to pay the uni £600 in fees if i get one which i didnt and now am going striaght into my third year. When i went to the open day i remeber them constantly tellin us facts and statistics about pass rate and employement rates after graduating, beacuse now i realise thats all they care about, getting ... more |

If your looking to beat the system and get a degree for doing very little work then staffords where you want to go! You go to univesitiy to learn, and you will learn.... how to download powerpionts from lectures that have changed for about 5 years. I'm currently on a computer degree at stafford about to go into my third year and i can't wait to leave. i went there beacuse of all the computer degrees they had, the supposed great facilities and genreal crap they sent through my door to get me there. Most of the staff there have been workin there for a 100 years and couldnt be less enthusiactic about what there teaching and just want to get you out the lectures ... Read the complete review

I must point out that I attended Staffordshire University (Stoke Campus) between 1997 & 2000, so can't comment on any changes implemented since this time.... I chose Staffs Uni as one of my 'possibles' for a couple of reasons - 1. The entry level was low to medium on the points scale (I wanted to choose a range of Universities, so that I would be covered whichever way my A-level results went), 2. The location (only 2.5 hrs drive from my hometown, so not too far for getting home in the holidays, but far enough to not have my parents breathing down my neck!), 3. Cost of living (one of the cheapest places in the UK - a massively important point when scrimping ... Read the complete review

We are all different and all look for different things, and we all see different things in Univesities. I am a part time student, so have never seen it from the full time perspective or lived in Campus or drunk in the student union bar or been to freshers. I attend two evenings a week and have done for the last 4 years, firstly Staffs University comprises more than one site - there is Stafford - Beaconside and Blackheath Lane, Stoke - College Road and Leek Road and Lichfield. Something to bear in mond when only reading one persons comments. The various sites have different facilities - the libraries in particular tend to stock books according to the ...

Stafford sucks, it really really sucks! This is the worst university in the worst place on earth! Please for your own safety, don't go.. I went there for 3 years.. and failed.. mostly because I made a film that expresed things that I found interesting. I took film production technology and , as opposed to sticking to a pretentious boring ass film idea, that they wanted me to make cuz the teachers are losers who dont know what's entertaining. The worst part is the teachers don't know jack either.. all the lessons are downloaded off the internet, ergo you can get the same lessons for free if you download them your self. It also means the teachers actually don't know ... Read the complete review

I'm a former student, and although i'm grateful to the friends I made there and any help I recieved, i'd recommend - if you have any degree of intelligence at all - to stay the hell away from this uni. The place has had road works being done since the beginning of time. Renovation took place from the moment I arrived to the moment I left on the roads entering the city, and I dare say they are still "in progress". The Stoke Campus and surrounding area has a nasty, cold and unwelcoming look to it. The buildings themselves look passable, but whatever you do take the time to drive into Hanley (the local town centre) for a glimpse into what you'd be in ... Read the complete review
