It's been a fantastic experience studying at Nottingham Trent University. I have felt supported and secure throughout my journey, and generally understand everything that is being asked of my during my degree and how that transfers to further study or a future career. I couldn't imagine anywhere does it better! All staff are friendly and approachable and the university is constantly looking at where facilities need improvement or policies and procedures need updating.

Very good, little to no room for improvement

Academic is very good with skills workshops, library and student staff mentors, feedback is the pro forma. Mental health support seems good, too with several levels of support.

Very good, especially with updates facilities

Yes

Fairly good, new ones crop up a lot but sometimes some disappear (as though they were not getting enough interest)

I like the level of free range we get in assignments, there is at least one question to tackle but how you go about answering it is completely individual. Least favourite way in which we're taught is the spread of sessions across the week, on Monday I am timetables in at 4-6pm, Tuesday at 9-11am, Wednesday at 11-1pm, Thursday 11-12pm then nothing until 4-6pm; it makes travelling home a hassle.

Skills workshops, employability meetings, placements, experience, emails and more

My university experience so far has been good. It took my a while to make friends and properly set in but I am definitely feeling more comfortable here now.I really enjoy living so close to the city centre because there is so much on offer. I love taking part in the anime society every week. Living with new people in halls was uncomfortable at first but it is slowly becoming more tolerable. The work has been challenging but that can sometimes be good.

The university facilities are very good. The lecture halls are spacious and nice to work in. They have plenty of study spaces and computers available in the library. There are a variety of sports halls across the campuses. They have a cozy global lounge where uk and international student can hang out. Overall very good facilities.

The university offers good supports. We meet up with our academic tutor for an hour once a week. They answer any questions we have and give good feedback and advice regarding essays. The university is constantly promoting the support they have for students struggling with mental health. The student health centre is also easy to find and make and appointment for.

The student union has very good facilities. It has a warm modern look to it and is a nice place to chill out. However I don't visit the student union much and so do not know much about it.

It is in the city centre which is handy. It is surrounded by everything you need including a tesco and an aldi. There are loads of places to each out and go clubbing. It is a walking distance away from the accommodation. It is a considerably longer walk from the train and coach station but as I don't go home often this isn't and issue.

There is a very wide variety of societies and sports. As for sports they have plenty of opportunities for beginners to learn and play for fun rather than competitively. They offer a wide variety of sports as well. As for societies I believe they have a society for every type of person. I am a member of the anime society who meet weekly and were welcoming from day one.

I most like the support the staff both do and don't give. I like how lectures require us to do more independent study. However we have 'lab classes' in which a smaller group of students study with three lectures in the rooms to give additional support. The lecturers I currently have are very friendly and helpful. Something I don't really like is the quality of some lectures. More than a couple lecturers seem to struggle with the content they are teaching and it doesn't really instil a sense of confidence in the students. I understand they are only human and make mistakes but when other lecturers are of such good quality it is hard not the make comparisons.

The university are always promoting career opportunities through emails and presentations. The promote placements and opportunities that will help with long term future careers. They also have a job shop every week where students can get help if looking for part time work. It is really useful.
