“One of the best University in Midlands- UK”

United Kingdom,
Business Studies, 2024
OverallThis is an amazing university, and I am delighted to be a part of it. My tutors and supervisors were great. They constantly tried to take a personal interest in me and did everything they could to help me succeed. They provided possibilities for job advancement and evaluated my goals to ensure they were in line with my ability. They will work you hard, but it will be for your own benefit. I can practically feel my intellectual content and capacities improving. Thank you to all of my teachers and the University of Wolverhampton. It truly is the University of Opportunity!!!

I wish I had known...
I think that it is advantegous to have as few prejudices as possible before you leave. Everybody should make his or her experiences.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I would like to suggest to organize more spare time activities for the students. I stayed at a campus outside the city and we organize everything on our own. Furthermore they could think about offering some more student trips.

Final comments
Everybody of the academic staff as well as the staff who was responsible for the accomodation was really friendly. It was a great experience for me because I met real friends. Travelling to Germany was pretty hard because there are no suitable flights from Birmingham Airport which is only 1/2 h away. So I had to go from London and that was an altogether 20 h journey for me.

The fact that the business studies campus is not in Wolverhampton, but in Telford which is about 30 mn by bus- There are free coaches, though, but at the beginning some of them tended to be overcrowded. But you can always to chose your options on the Wolverhampton campus for the 2nd semester, and change accomodation ( I stayed with a lovely family)

This was a wondervful experience. If you can go, don't hesitate. I met so many people from different countries.
Odly, not many english students- You will probably feel it is easier to make friends with foreigners, as English students seem a bit detached-

Personal comments
It was very useful that the university had organised the accomodation for us, the rooms were approximately 12 square metres with shared bathrooms, but that didn´t matter to me as it was just a question of a good organisation between the students, i never had any problem!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Because Britain is generally more expensive than Austria, and as I wanted to make the most out of my time as an exchange student, i spent a lot of money on travelling (which was sefinitely worth it)

Overall, Housing, Travel, Nightlife, Food:
was more expensive than at home.
Telephone:
was the same price as at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Local supermarkets are generally very expensive in comparison to big inner-city shopping malls. Usually, clothes shops offer discounts for students - watch out for them!
