UWE Bristol - official Q&As thread

Thank you bianca.elena! I've sent them an email and I will see if there's still a chance for me.

Can I ask what do you think about the Uni? Do you like it and feel that they have been teaching you well? How does the lectures/tutorials looks like?

Hello,

Thank you for reply. I hope this will be the right decision Do you know anything about the accommodation for students? I've check on UWE site and I can see that there is a lot of campuses. Do you know how does it work? Do I apply for one campus which I like the most? As far as I know my course will be based on Frenchay Campus so I was wondering if it's better to stay in one of the campuses in the city centre or that would be too far? Do you know if the bus connection is quite good on that route?

Hi,

That's great to hear it as I've noticed that some of the buildings are older and cheaper. I was actually wondering if there is any parking where I could park my car? Any on-street parking is available around the campuses?

Hey that's great Will you be applying for accommodation in the city center or Frenchay Campus?

Also do you know when we can start applying? On the website it says "apply by 8th of June" so do you reckon I can apply even now? I am a bit worried about the first come first served basis :/

hi!
I'mgoing to be studying marketing at UWE in September. I would quite like to live in the city center but my course is based on Frenchay. Is it easy enough to get to Frenchay campus from the city center or would living on Frenchay be better?

Hii,
I'll be studying Adult Nursing at UWE and therefore will receive an Nhs Bursary, as you're aware is paid in 12 installments along with a reduced non-means tested SFE maintenance loan paid in 3 installments (termly). My query relates to how accommodation is paid for at UWE, as I'm aware you can chose from either it being paid in 3 installments (perfect for if you're receiving all your maintenance loan through SFE in 3 installments annually) however my concern is as the majority of my money for maintenance will be given by Nhs monthly, is it not possible for accommodation to be paid in 12 installments to match with how the Nhs busary is paid. May seem bit of a silly question just confused as won't you just end up with a lump some of cash at the end of the year and therefore worse off throughout the year?
Thanksssss

I had an interview in the 16th of March I flew from Ireland aswell, there is no direct bus you have to get one to the city and then another out to uni.. It's about 20 minutes outside the city 😊 I got a taxi from the uni back to the airport was much handier especially if you don't want to miss your interest view

Hi, there is an option to pay it in 8 monthly installments but not 12. More info here http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/accommodation/applyingforuweaccommodation/accommodationcosts.aspx

If you feel this will be difficult then please speak to our accommodation services team who will be able to advise further http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/accommodation/accommodationenquiries.aspx

Hi,
Thank you for all your replies. I am now bit worried as I still haven't heard from the last uni I've applied for - which means that I can't accept the UWE offer yet. Do you know if I can already apply for accomodation? I am afraid that it will be too late and there will be no more rooms left by that time
