The University of Wolverhampton has made the decision to withdraw from privately organised league tables run by national newspapers.

"These tables disadvantage universities such as Wolverhampton and do not represent a fair picture of our strengths. There are many published assessments of our performance."

Well to be honest, Wolverhampton University wouldn't even be in this "league table" because they would of got relegated a long time ago, this is how poor the education service is at this university.

Being at this university for 3 years, studying Architectural Design Technology (BSc Honours), I have not experienced the full "UNiVERSiTY LiFE".

Why you may ask? simple as...Of the 3 years that i have been there, sitting in classrooms that look like College classrooms, i haven't taken in the full information needed for this course.
As a Student, Paying £3000 a year, would want to take the university services to a full advantage, and use it fully, to take in as much information as possible, to actually "PAY" for my printing which has probably added up to £1000 over the 3 years. I don't want to pay £3000 to SELF TEACH MYSELF! if that was the case i wouldn't of gone to university and just studied at home and applied for work experience. Not one day have i sat in a American design lecture theatre and taken in knowledge. . . If i actually wanted to be so UNSUCCESSFUL i would of applied for a university that was worse than the one I attended..

"The quality of our teaching and learning is assessed by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), which reviews all UK higher education institutions. Following our recent QAA Audit, we received a glowing report which found ‘broad confidence’ (the highest level of commendation) in the University’s academic standards and the quality of the learning experience... We were also praised for outstanding support for students"

"Assessed by the QAA"..WTH...are they blind? were they bribed, because if OFSTED caught this university off guard, they would of shut long before it could raise its shutters and allow students in. Students come from all over the world to be educated fully for the amount of money that they are giving to the government. IF the government increase tuition fees, which more likely they will, then i doubt any person would want to attend Wolverhampton or any other university that doesn't help."We were also praised for outstanding support for students" - I DON'T THINK SO! Again they must of bribed. . . because i haven't had the full "SUPPORT" they have so called talked about.

"The most recent National Student Survey rated Wolverhampton as one of the best in the country for the quality of its learning resources and access to specialist equipment." - THiS iS A JOKE RiGHT?

I would like to hear your comments, and how your university has treated you.
