ANGRY students have blasted Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) claiming a string of blunders were made on a prestigious postgraduate course.
Naomi Sugai, who represents students on the £4,725-per-year MA in Management, says classes have been cancelled without warning, and students have been given a limited choice of the advertised modules.
She slammed the university as "slow and inefficient" - and described its own management system as "ludicrous". She is now threatening to report ARU to an independent adjudicator.
The 24-year-old said: "They are supposed to be teaching us about smooth management, but they can't even do it themselves. It's hard to take what they say seriously."
The eight students who started the course only found out one lecture had been cancelled when they turned up at the venue on their timetable to find it deserted.
Miss Sugai, said: "It makes us angry to think lecturers can pull out at the last minute with no reason and not get reprimanded. It is unprofessional to say the least."
She claims different modules cover the same material, meaning students do not get "value for money".
She also said there was a limited choice in what options to take - despite the university website's assurance of "a comprehensive range of option modules".
Now Miss Sugai is threatening to report the university to the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education.
ARU is bottom of the Sunday Times University Guide.
An ARU spokeswoman said meetings to discuss the issues had taken place, and current and former students had indicated they were "happy" with the course. Extra options have since been added.
She said: "Our alumni state that the course content of our MA programmes provides the necessary skills and knowledge required by global organisations.
"We do get students raising matters of student choice on low-recruiting programmes.
"This, in practice, is an issue and we try and resolve it in the way we have made our recommendations to this group of students. This year, we have put extra time and resource into improving the timetabling aspect of our operations."

Thats all bullshit. I agree with McGoldigger. You NEED to grow up. I am a graduate from APU, back at 2002. All of our teachers were absolutely professionals, showing us personal help every time that we needed it. Cheers to Kieron Toner
Doesn't matter what course you're on! from my experience and I have a lot of friends on different courses all having similar issues. Atm I am paying to have a 3hr 1 lecture a week. What is the point of even going to university!?!?!? We have complained to our tutor, asking for change to the module, and well they're right and all the students are wrong. This video is not a childish response. She is a student who cares about her education! If students didn't complain how can a university mature?
Considering you don't say what course you are on how can anyone back you up? I've had all the module choices promised in my course and have had no problems with timetable, etc. And I don't know anyone else who has. If you wanna go to Cambridge Uni, this will not help you!
