The majority of the teaching staff are very approachable and helpful however I believe the university mismanaged the Covid situation with the online/live balance since the majority of second-year material was online while there could have been more live sessions.

Overall I am satisfied especially with the final year dissertation however the first and second year practical work was a bit "blunt".

I love how diverse the city is and how much there is to do and the transport links via the train mean its easy to get to different places in the Midlands and even London. I also like how many different study and social spaces there are on campus, there's a different vibe for everyone.

I like how much support there is from the lecturers in the forms of practicals, workshops and tutorials, but in the first semester I wasn't a fan of how many assignments we had all at once, as I prefer a sparse spread through the term and then end-of-module assessments as it allows me to not get overwhelmed but this semester it's exactly like that so I am enjoying it.

Definitely recommend it for prospective first years, its a lovely environment as everyone's in the same boat as you, and the different events held allow everyone to socialise and make friends, the Oadby village is also so safe and away from the city so it gives a sense of peace and calm whilst having the social aspect of everyone living super close to each other and getting along! The university bus also makes it easier to get to the university for lectures and the city if needed.
