University of Wolverhampton in general

University of Wolverhampton is a British university, located on four campuses across the West Midlands and Shropshire. The university currently offers over 340 undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I am currently in my third year at the University of Wolverhampton studying early childhood studies and education studies. I am aware that Wolverhampton univeristy is at the very low end of all league tables provided by the guardian and the times on a yearly basis. However I don't think it is as bad as it is made out to be. I applied for this university due to my A levels not being the best. Since attending this university my grades have been alot ...  Read the complete review

I am attending the University of Wolverhampton and am studying a BA Honours Music Degree. I am in my first year at the university Overview When you look at the Times or Guardian league tables, the University of Wolverhampton always seems to be around the bottom. That must put people off going there surely! Well the University of Wolverhampton is my local university so i decided i would go to the open day at Walsall Campus. I was actually pleasantly suprised staff were helpful and i was given valuable information to take away. As my course is practical i had to sit an exam and had to audition. I went to the audition and exam and thankfully got ...  Read the complete review

I am a final year, p/t mature Engineering student and have to say that I find the Uni here pretty good. Not only has their been significant investment in ICT, including a whole new block on City campus, but you can see the effort being spent to improve the University's staus; if you are prepared to see.

The philosophy here is very much 'help those who help themselves' and fools aren't suffered gladly. The Uni is very popular, and there's no room for lighting a fire under those individuals who can't be bothered, that works for me. My dissertation supervisor, despite being a very senior member of staff, organises meetings for me whenever needed. I have found most staff to be approachable, although as in any walk of life there are some who may not be 100%.

Overall, well worth attending if you're prepared to motivate yourself.

I attended Year 2000 commencement law course as a (very) mature undergraduate. Started off bad and just got worse. Straight 'A's student first semester, became a student rep, took some criticisms of the course in confidence to the Associate Dean (now the Dean) and found my criticisms published to staff. Suddenly became a very average student with borderline marks. Left after I was threatened with disciplinary action over my complaints. Eventually I sued for misrpresentation and breach of contract. Court case was settled out of court in July 2002 amid huge media publicity. Uni paid £30,000 of my claim for £48,000. Started again at one of top ten law ...  Read the complete review

Reading other reviews I find I’m not alone with the awful time I had at University. I started my relationship with the University of Wolverhampton back in 1998 when I decided to take a History and Sociology degree. Like most people my course started and enjoyed every minute but by the time I was in my final year problems began to surface. I was based on the Dudley campus (which has now been knocked down and made into a housing estate), which was one of the biggest campuses, and experienced many common problems; fighting for limited text books in the library, lack of computers, ignorant lecturers and last minute timetable changes. My 1st main problem occurred ...  Read the complete review
