Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
This college is a joke - the course my son is on (2nd year) he is hardly there. No tutors - get texts/emails to say don’t come in tomorrow. Finishes early at 1.30 regularly. The course is supposed to be 3 days a week. This week he will just have attended Friday - other days cancelled???? I’m really concerned what he will have actually learnt after 2 years.

Couldn't ask for a better college, The Agriculture department are extremely helpful and tutors are willing to help you with assignments even if they didn't hand it out.

Mostly excellent lecturers who really seem to care about their subject and students but are let down by the rest who would rather not do any work.

Some of the motorsport lecturers are really good and try very hard but the department was lacking equipment and the Head of Engineering is a rude, incompetent idiot with a complete lack of any social skills. His idea of interacting with students is to grunt at them. He probably only survives because he's married to the Principal.
i couldn't stand his rudeness any longer so I quit.

got to be the worst university i have ever attended, the staff have no clue as to what they are doing or what information they are telling people, it seems they just turn up for work every day and wing their way through it regardless of the fact they are supposed to be mentors and guiding people toward their careers/future goals.
Terrible university will not recommend to anyone.
