UWE Bristol (University of the West of England)

I started studying nursing here in 2025 and overall it’s been a positive experience. The course is demanding but well organised, with supportive lecturers and good hands-on learning through labs and placements. Student life is friendly and there’s a strong sense of community among nursing students. The workload can be intense at times, but it feels worthwhile and prepares you well for real nursing practice.

I love the university, lectures are brilliant and there are lots of social opportunities as well.
Bristol is a great place to be!

The uni is fantastic! There’s so much support offered to you.

I am super chuffed with my choice of uni, everything about Bristol has full filled my expectations, my course is extremely interesting and my lectures are great! However, the only downside would be the amount of lectures cancelled due to strikes, they deserve the pay!! As they are amazing! Getting to UWE from city centre by bus is easy and my city-centre accommodation is the best, as everything is on my doorstep!

I've been struggling with some personal issues and UWE have been nothing but supportive and I truly cannot thank them enough. The social life seems really good with easy access into Bristol city centre which has lots of clubs etc. Glenside campus is a really nice peaceful environment where you feel fully relaxed with a park for a walk opposite

this university has exceeded all my expectations as an applicant, speedy replies to application, and plenty of communications to ensure you are ready to apply and have the best chance to be prepared as possible for university life. course content looks excellent and i cannot wait to start

Great experience. Felt supported throughout and a great city

My experience at UWE was transformative and life-changing. I made brilliant friends and memories. The course is fun and challenging and I would recommend it to anyone.
The accommodation is well situated and I personally would recommend Nelson and Drake or Market Gate as they were the most popular accommodations and where most of the social life is.

UWE one of the best Uni in UK with State of the art Engineering Department sharing with well prestigious universities in the Russell Group such as Uni Bristol and Bath

Amazing, living on campus allowed me to meet so many new people. I've never been in a situation with that many people in the same situation before and it was really conducive to making friends and getting to know people. Bristol is an amazing city aswell with so much going on and attending the university allowed me to experience it. Lovely, couldn't fault where I lived (wallscourt) and when I lived there there were some bits of fascia boarding unfinished so it was on par with the cheapest accomodation on campus (the next year it was he most expensive), and I was only disturbed by outside work about 3 times all year. I was living in four storey accomodation with 11 other people, sharing a kitchen but only sharing a bathroom with one person (4 bedrooms and two bathrooms on each floor with the kitchen/living room on the bottom). Library is amazing, second to none. Classrooms were all modern with great facilities. The student union had recently been built and is still brilliant. Great food and recreation area with pool tables - and a cheap bar too! (civil engineering) It has been really interesting and engaging. The things I've learnt about changed the way I thought about a lot of stuff in society. Amazing. Every day had things to do, which in a way distracted me from my course a little but I still got it done. Tuesday was the new Saturday!
