The University of Cumbria

I had the bed to time at university of Cumbria. They continue to offer you real industry experience and offer you fantastic opertunities to perform in a semi professional setting. Its scenic and a nice campus.

I couldn't recomend this course more to potential performers out there looking to get some great performance experience. Also the last year of your degree is completley tailored to your own skill set.

I did not attend freshers week. I do not live the university accommodations Everything at the university it acceptable to use. No complaints. I have enjoyed the lectures and have been given the extra help when it is needed, I know I can always rely on support from my university. I love the city life, it has always been fun and vibrant, there's always something new to learn

University of Cumbria os a great university. I would say that it's like family. Due to the quite a small quantity of students, lecturers know the students personaly and evwry srudent can receive personal help unlike it would be in a bigger group. The study materials are very interesting and professional, the flow of srudi is also well organized and makes the leaenimg process easier, while the srudents are still gaining loads of needed information and skills. There is a hreat variety of different cultures within students, that is a great conversation topic and makes everyone even closer. This iniversity is the place to get great professional knowladge and experience as well as gain friends for life. Recommend :)

The University is fantastic all the tutors are extremely helpful and understanding, there is always support for students who may need it. The university as a whole gives a student everything they require from a full stocked library and IT suit to even a twenty-four hour IT room for late night work. I've heard of some universities where lectures don't even know your name, but here nothing is to much the tutors are even on hand if you require additional help via email or one to one meetings.

The University of Cumbria is amazing, it's personal and they put every effort into you succeeding. The courses are laid out well and the facilities on the small campus are brilliant. Including the UOC active and computer and library access.

The sports department staff made my course (Sports and Exercise Science) really enjoyable. Everything was well-organised and we had a lot more help from staff than I've ever had at another institution. The modules were relevant and valuable and what I learnt has helped me in my career since graduating. The enthusiasm and passion of the lecturers made it so interesting, and following their advice I am now studying for a PhD (much to my surprise!). You should definitely come here to study Sport and Exercise Science.

My overall uni experience has been really pleasant. My Accomodation is lovely and spacious, everyone in my flat is so lovely and we are all good friends. My course is amazing with some great and supportive staff. Uni life can be hard mentally and physically but get all the support from the lecturers, uni mental health teams etc. I have really enjoyed lots so far and the only thing I disliked was the slow start and enrolling us as students so it halted the student loan but I'm guessing that was because I was a clearing student.

The university of Cumbria is growing with its performing arts courses and becoming an excellent alternative for those not wanting to go to a conservatoire. This year they have added single honours Acting, Dance and Musical Theatre to their performing arts courses.

I am currently studying the single honours Musical Theatre course. Being the Year 1 of the course being run it's wonderfully structured with a lot of room for growth as a performer. The lecturers help nurture and expand your talent and skills and take into consideration your future aspirations and help aid with reaching that end goal. In second and Year 3 you have the opportunity to work with professionals from the industry in productions and in Year 3 you are able to audition for a showcase in front of agents in London and Manchester. The University of Cumbria is on the rise in the performing arts sector and will keep on growing and expanding. Becoming a real contender for those wanting a career in the industry.

Accommodation was extremely good and the accommodation staff were very nice. It was perfect as the accommodation was on campus. It was easy to move in, the rooms were spacious and the ensuite bathroom was a nice touch. As I was moving to this uni from Northern Ireland, it helped that all this was included and the uni was in a nice city. The staff and the accommodation helped me with my anxiety of being away from my comfort zone, and was able to let me know that they are always around to help if need be. The accommodation staff were also helpful in helping students with housing locations for 2nd and 3rd years, which were all either located across from the uni or a few streets away, all within walking distance. The course was amazing, with the nicest lecturers. The material was easy to understand, and having access to everything spoken about straight after lectures helped if struggles occurred. The lecturers were so nice and friendly so it made approaching them with questions and having meeting much easier and less anxious. The assignments were evenly spread throughout the terms and years, so you never felt over worked or burnt out, and the lecturers explained how easy it was to contact them for extensions if needed. The uni also offered mental health help, with really helped my anxiety and helped be with feelings of loneliness in the first few weeks. This facility really helped me get through the stress of assessments, and any mental health issues and struggles I had during the year. The social life of Carlisle was great, due to all the social areas in the same street. Living in the city, helped to boost my social life a bit and since its all a short walk from the uni, it was easy to return back when I was overwhelmed or tired. The social life on campus was great also. The clubs were easier to find and hear about, and the SU made everyone knew what clubs were happening when, where, and what they were about. The clubs made it simple to sign up to, and were very helpful in getting you used to the environment and informative on what they do. It was definitely the best choice to go here, regardless that covid hit before I finished first year. It allowed for me to focus on my uni work and I felt closed to the friends I made, as well as I found it easier to email lecturers during the online lectures.

The nightlife here is very good and nice and cheap. The accommodation is reasonably priced and living in halls here is a great way to make new friends. The flats are homely and modern and very comfortable to live in. The course I am on is well organised and I am learning a lot. I find the lectures very useful and the lecturers easy to talk to if I have any problems. Overall my experience of The university of Cumbria Lancaster campus is brilliant and I would rate it 9 out of 10 for learning, living and socialising.
