TEACHING

“As a chartered geographer, I am passionate about exploring and introducing new ideas, concepts and viewpoints into the student learning experience. I bring my research into my teaching, and I’ve developed different kinds of resources, such as bespoke video podcasts about exotic ecosystems, filmed in Australia, the Caribbean, French Guyana and Brazil. It brings what I’m teaching to life and hopefully makes my courses more interesting.”

Dr Jennifer HillAssociate Professor in Learning and Teaching, Geography and Environmental Management andNational Teaching Fellow

The way we teach and structure our courses is designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to go out into work – while getting you excited about learning, so you want to do more.

THINK

Shortly after graduating from UWE Bristol with a sociology degree, Ben set up a snack box subscription scheme Graze with six friends. Tired of convenience snacking and unhealthy impulse buys, the friends saw a gap in the market for healthy, wholesome snacks which were fun to eat. Now a household name, Graze employs more then 400 staff, has a turnover of £70 million and has won a host of awards. The business manages everything from product development to retail.

“Studying sociology widened my horizons and gave me the analytical skills to start a project and take it all the way. My tutors always encouraged us to think outside the box and to find out what we’re really good at. That’s exactly what I did.”

During her course, Rosalind worked as part of the Space Medicine Office Team on a prestigious three-month internship at the European Space Agency in Cologne, Germany.

Her main project was evaluating an electrical muscle stimulation device that was being tested at the Astronaut Centre to see if it could be used as part of the astronaut fitness and rehabilitation programme.

“My background is in sports, but I realised I wanted to go into a medical environment. It’s been really exciting to be involved in this work and I’ve even managed to chat to a few astronauts about their experiences in space. I still can’t believe I was there.”

After doing her English degree at UWE Bristol, Alaana went straight into a graduate training programme at Rombourne Business Centres.

After two years at a healthcare marketing and business development agency, she was offered the job as International Director for BMI Healthcare, a leading UK provider of independent healthcare.

She set up her own international development department there, which is now turning over almost £10 million.

“My choice of degree has helped me form and articulate strong arguments, analyse behaviours and think laterally. My time at UWE Bristol gave me confidence and strength of character to understand what I am capable of achieving. The key is finding something you love, which inspires you and makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Believe in yourself and your ability and other people will believe in you too.”

SHINE in a place that celebratestalent

Showcasing the finest talent from across the University

Each year, inspiring final-year projects and work from our creative, and our environment and technology courses, feature at our Degree Shows. Last year’s shows included: graphic design projects designed to challenge school children to invent a new sport; films about bullfighting in Barcelona, dog racing in south London and free parties in Bristol; skin cancer detection kits for older men; and a new kind of robotic toy allowing parents to interact with their children while they’re at work.

A selection of outstanding student work is exhibited at student shows in London each year, such as London Graduate Fashion Week and New Designers, opening doors to even wider opportunities.

Students are doing all kinds of inspiring work on our courses – and we showcase a selection every year at our Degree Shows. Always well attended, the shows are a chance for UWE Bristol students to get their work out there and to show their peers, family, friends and even potential employers, some of the amazing things they’re capable of.

Addressing body image issues

We’re pioneering new ways of thinking on issues like low body confidence and how it affects young people’s performance and aspirations. We’re looking at how social media affects adolescents’ body image and working with Dove as part of their Self Esteem project. Our work on appearance issues has contributed to national Government policy making.

Turning pee into power

Our ‘Pee Power’ initiative is attracting global attention. Working with Oxfam and others, scientists at UWE Bristol have investigated power generation using urine in the hope that ‘urine-tricity’ will provide much-needed power to refugee camps and disaster zones. Our ‘Pee Power’ urinals are now being used to provide electricity at the Glastonbury Festival.

Living with robots

The team at our internationally-renowned Bristol Robotics Lab has been looking at how robots and smart sensors can help older people stay independent for longer. Imagine if an elderly person could interact easily with a talking robot who could keep an eye on their health and nutrition, tell them who was at the door and detect when they needed exercise. That’s just one of the many robotics projects we’ve been working on recently.

“At UWE Bristol, our staff engage with exciting research which transforms society and organisations. Our professors ensure their research is experienced by our students while they’re engaged in learning and many students directly support this research while they’re studying here.”
