Hello 🙂 I studied at Arden, my experience was really positive, I did the course 100% online but I live just down the road from the Manchester centre and popped in a few times - very professional but also relaxed environment. I am sure it is the same at the Birmingham Campus which I believe is a big bigger. Student services were also great when I reached out to them. What are you studying?

I see stuff on the social media channels all the time - are you on Instagram? I'm not familiar with the others.

In a classical sense a milestone in higher education means, "In a university context, a milestone is an important event, a formal assessment, or a required task that marks significant progress in a student's academic journey, especially in research degrees, but also for other students, signifying development, achievement, and readiness to move forward in their studies. These are non-course requirements that provide formal recognition of a student's progress and skills development, often involving reviews by supervisory panels or progress boards."#

I would think, although I am merely a student ambassador at the university, it would mean either the completion of the enrolment process (checking qualifications etc) or the activation of the first module after enrolment. It might be best getting in contact with student services to check.

i did get in contact with them but it turns out i could get the accommodation without the enrolment letter so that’s one problem i can forget about!! i do see stuff about the university but not other students it’s just the arden accounts, which is why im worried bc with every other uni theres loads of people talking and discussing it!! plus ive mention it to a couple people and they have no idea what im talking about, theres the orientation coming up soon but i haven’t heard where it is, and im not sure what it’ll entail? and bc i dont know anyone im just worried about going but i know i have to

Hi again

I was a 100% online learner so I missed out on this side of things. The best thing to do is popping in and just asking about anything you are not sure about - 156 Great Charles Street
