MSc FM Part Time Course
University College London, University Of London
Graeme, November 2006

Overall rating *****

Course content *****

The course is ideal for anyone wishing to obtain an excellant qualification in Facility Management [FM]. It offers up to date mangement skills expected at a senior level within any organisation and as its a taught master degree entry is flexible. The lectures are on Wednesdays 2pm-6.30pm in the first academic year and same times but Thursday in the second [final] year. The pace is good and as long as the student remembers that contact hours need to be matched it should be OK for adults to keep up the commitment.

Overall rating *****

Course content *****

I am currently enrolled on the course and i have found it very interesting and beneficial. It has helped me to look at the wider picture and get to know the diverse knowledge base it can embrace. The Napier University is the ideal place for the course with very supportive staff and a commitment to help students in every aspect of the student life with a wide variety of inspirational workshops and supportive programmes. For me i can confidently say that it will be true value for money in the end, but i must admit that it also depends on the personal attitude and motivational level of individual student to gain the maximum benefit of the opportunities one is getting. The only draw back what i found was the quality of the teaching facilities / lecture rooms and the fragmented structure due to various campus buildings instead of one consolidated campus facilities. The University is working towards improving the quality and invest lot of money in that but I think it will take some time. Good luck!

The promise of an excellent experience
Edinburgh Napier University
shalu, June 2007

Overall rating *****

Course content *****

The course curriculum was designed to cover most of the relevant aspects of the field with a bent towards strategic management, which is the most important aspect of professional career. We had no exams and each module had two courseworks to do, i must agree that a continuous assessment gave us an opportuinity to research and enhance knowledge regularly, but it wasn't easy initially. The lecturers are very helpful & supportive and the student support services provide guidance & help at every stage, if required. The additional workshops and guest lectures organised throughout the year help in personal development & skills. University not only supports in getting the degree but also provide guidance in career development & job placements.

Student facilities ****

The University has state-of-art equipment & facilities in IT and library. The new campus at craighlochart is an architectural marvel, but the merchiston campus is slightly old, though the lecture theatres are well equipped with latest teaching equipments.

Social life *****

I am enjoying my studies at the University, the two major reasons for the wonderful experience are inspiring lecturers and supportive class-mates. The class has a multi-cultural mix of local students as well as from various parts of europe and asia. The number of students varies in different modules, anything from 10 to 80 (including full-time, part-time and distant learning). I have found the number of women increasing in surveying profession (confirmed in one of the events organised by women Engineering society). We all work in a team and most of the discussions are held in cafetaria. Although we restrict our student life only to college campus (to devote rest of the time in personal studies & family), but we keep in constant touch via webct or e-mails.
Such a fun and interesting course!

The facilities were not great for photography, but the school has plenty of cameras and a teacher who is willing and able to teach A levels.

There is a basic dark room, but the school promoted digital photography and offers all students Photoshop lessons. There are plenty of cameras, but by todays standards they are not up to date.

The teacher encourages pupils and has had guest speakers from local photographers.

Overall rating ****

Course content ****

First of all i should be very greatful to the people who gave this oppotunity. The days i spent in my university are an unforgetable experience. the level of facilities and resources provided by our university is excellent. We have 24 hours learning resource but unfortunately engineering students do not have that oppotunity, but the level of books and learning resource is excellent.
