UWE Bristol - official Q&As thread

Hello, I'm a Yr 13 student studying Alevel, and I was hoping to do Adult Nursing in this university. I realised that there were two different campuses (Glenside Campus and Gloucester Campus) for this course and I was wondering which is the better campus for my course. Thank you.

Hi,

I am wondering when the approval decision will be made regarding the Film Studies BA, and when the course structure will be available?

Thank you!

Hi, just want to ask a few questions regarding the graphic design course.

Do graphic design students get briefs from actual clients? If so, do they get it more than the briefs tutors give them? And would you say the course is more practical-based than academic-focused? Hopefully you can also share the experience of a recent graduate or a graduating student. :smile:

Would love to hear their experience.

Thanks

Hi, was just wondering whether if I stayed at the Hollies for accomodation, is there a good bus service close to get to Frenchay Campus?

Hi, i have received offers from both uwe and Cardiff and just wanted to hear some opinions on what computer science is like at uwe. It looks to be very AI focused but just wanted to hear some opinions of people who are currently on the course and if the course is taught well.

Hi UWE,

I am really considering making UWE my first choice, my only concern is that the university seems quite far out from the city centre?
I do want to be in the heart of the action and be able to get into the city centre of Bristol quite easily.
Can you reassure me that UWE students aren't "out on a limb?" Is there a good social life in UWE?

I don't want to feel disconnected with everything!

Thanks so much in advance for your response

Hey!
While I was visiting the uni, I traveled to the city centre to just check out the place and it didn't take me too long to reach there.
You could choose the city centre accommodation instead if you still feel that it's quite far away.

Hello!
I'm local and live about 12 minutes away from UWE by train. I can assure you that UWE isn't too far from the centre at all in the grand scheme of things. It's not too long of a train journey or even a taxi ride. Uwe isn't too badly situated in terms of where it is in bristol. It's not too busy and isn't to quiet either. Social life will be buzzing wherever you go as basically almost every student is in the same boat and wanting the social aspect so you're not alone. If you have any questions about the area feel free to message me and I'll do my best to answer them :smile:

Thanks

There is an applicants day this Saturday, still received no details of agenda, (and yes I have emailed them to ask) time it starts etc. Is this lack of organisation typical of UWE... if so not sure it's a good sign?!

I went to an applicant day last wednesday,

have you checked the UWE welcome website (the one that you recieved a log in for) for a letter containing the agenda? If not, I also emailed them for another copy because the original wouldn't show up on my computer and they replied (I believe) the next day - so I wouldn't worry too much.

Oh damn If you haven't already try on a laptop as using phones didn't work for me last year. If that doesn't work then type in 'UWE Accommodation log in' into google and that should take you to the right place as long as you have the right log in details! Where are you thinking of applying? I'm in Wallscourt at the moment so can try and help if you like. Money wise Wallscourt is great, you get style and its relatively cheap. Carroll Court doesn't seem too great at all but thats my personal opinion and Student village is too expensive (as is the new ensuite flats and studio flats on Wallscourt) If you prefer being in the 8 beds, or want to be on the top floor of wherever you choose - which I advise if you want to avoid noise - or if you choose wallscourt but want a large or superlarge room then you have to put that in the notes section!! Sorry I can only really help for Frenchay accom but good luck!

They have this http://courses.uwe.ac.uk/X123/primary-education-ite but its just general primary so you'd learn a bit of everything and then when you apply for a job you can specify you want to do maths... or you can just search on that website for undergraduate teaching courses and then click the entry button on the righthand side and it shows you what you need to be accepted for it
