The staff and faculty have been the most surprising element so far, in a good way. Coming from a class of 150 students, to just 10 of us in the course it already felt very close and personal every time I was in a lecture.
No matter how busy the tutor is or their other commitment, if I ask them for five minutes just for an informal chat about football, their door is always open. The willingness to listen to and respond to feedback has been very crucial too. Someone out there is actually listening, they want to know my opinions/thoughts on how the course is going, how can they make it better for next year’s students; all of these questions make me think that University is determined to see their students succeed.
After coming to Staffs, it feels like my future looks a bit different, very bright in fact. The contacts I have made here, the industry knowledge gained and friend I have made are all for life. In my mind, I have no doubt that I will be employed before the end of my degree, and a big part of that is because I chose Staffs.
