Belfast is a special city to study - it has everything you could want as a student in terms of shopping, night life, activities, hobbies, scenery, good transport links and close proximity to more rural landscapes. The SU provide lots of events, clubs and societies to get involved in. There are some fantastic students i have met who go the extra mile and plan events outside of their own studies out of passion and interest. Midwifery staff are approachable, knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. The only negative feedback I would have is I feel more time could be spent in simulation prior to commencing placement with more resources in the intersim centre such as dolls, models etc. . A the same time, my cohort is the first of 100 students and the staff are adapting to and accommodating the larger numbers.

I feel that the lecturers are adapting extremely well to a much larger cohort than previously. They are responsive to our feedback and encourage as much participation as possible. Due to the nature of the course with so much to cover and clinical placement hours governed by the NMC, lecturers are under time constraints. I feel that I would benefit from more time in clinical simulation whilst in teaching. I feel that the student does need to be proactive in their learning, however, and seek out learning opportunities.

They have lots of events on which helps you socialise and have a good variety of courses to include everyone

Lectures are so pleasant and go out of there way to help you.They have some says which are online so it’s a good variety
