It has amazing facilities, the buildings, labs and research centers are great, especially for post graduate research. The lecturers and supervisors are very very supportive and always willing to guide even out of working hours. It has such a great community feel. I feel like a member of one big family. Student services are very supportive and always having outreach to students so even I as an international student, I do not feel left out. The only concern might be location, because the uni is located in somewhat of a village and the transport public transport connection is not as frequent as the cities, so having private transport is an added advantage. This cannot really be changed but more for the student to be aware beforehand.

The course work is amazing. I have enjoyed all my modules both taught and for the research aspect. My only concern was on one online module for data science which I really struggled with because the lessons were offered through teams and that was a challenge for me because it was a technical and fairly new subject topic for me.

The uni is located in a village like setup. The place is peaceful, serene and quiet which I quite like but public transport ends by 6pm so unless you have private means or take a taxi, you cannot really move about much. The transport is also not very frequent like in the cities, so bus waiting times are up to 30 mins. Most employers are looking for full time workers, so as an international student with restricted working hours getting a job was very challenging.

The halls were amazing and private and cleaned regularly so even the shared facilities were nice to use. Just sometimes the school wifi had maintenance and on those days network didn’t have good connection.

The student support is brilliant and the staff are excellent. The campus itself is lovely and is in a beautiful, rural location but it is a distance from any city. Newport, Shropshire is the nearest town which is very small and has no easy pedestrian route from the campus (40+ minute walk). It's really pretty and great if you want a proper country life but if you're looking for a more cosmopolitan university experience this may not suit. There is also one bar and one pub on campus, nice for a drink in the sun and the union throws some great balls.

The teaching, the lecturers and overall learning experience has been fantastic. It's a shame how much has been online but this is mostly down to covid. Most modules had very well done online content, either in the form of pre-recorded or live teams lectures. Class discussions were a great experience and really added to the modules.
