What students say about ophthalmic

Teesside University is honestly a good place to study, especially if you’re doing something practical like engineering. The lecturers are approachable and actually try to help rather than just reading off slides. The course structure makes sense and there’s a good balance between theory and hands on work. The campus is easy to get around and the facilities are modern, especially the labs and library. There are plenty of study spaces and resources which help a lot during coursework and exams. Student support is decent too, particularly for international students and people coming through foundation routes.

What students say about ophthalmic

There is sooooo many things to do here!! I was really surprise to see that many events are happening in the student union. The campus itself is incredible, with all those shops, coffees and more! Students are also very well informed of all that is happening, which makes it perfect for them to attend to any events they want to! The major problem would be the locations and the directions.. I personnally am someone that can get lost easily, and the signs in campus don't help a lot finding classrooms and theaters. Anyways, I have never been bored since I arrived, and thanks to all the events that were organised I made a lot of new friends! I'm an exchange student, and it was my very first time living abroad by myself, it helped a lot feeling included! Thank you very much for your investment! :D

What students say about ophthalmic

What makes it a great place to study: Many study places, great teachers, good learning environment What can improve: 1. faith space especially for Muslim we have to pray 5 times a day, the prayer space is not in every building and walking from one building to another takes time. The wudhu space is also only available in Manchester Museum, so we have to use the public washroom to make wudhu 2. The study space, there are many plugs that are not working either in Main Library and Alan Gilbert Learning Commons (not sure about other places), so I hope it’ll get fixed 3. So many websites, I hope there’ll be one integrated space that student can check everything without having to jump from one website to another

What students say about ophthalmic

UHI is a fantastic university for distance learning courses. The support that they provide is assuring, teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, and the intended learning outcomes are very clearly outlined from the very start. Accordingly, I enthusiastically recommend studying the PG distance learning courses through the UHI!

What students say about ophthalmic

Cardiff city is a great location for students and the university had lots of career, technical and health related support for students. My course specifically is very vigorous and we barely have any breaks (no reading weeks).

It is a great place to study because its in a big city. Liverpool is very diverse interms of people food and culture. The student support is good and the website is very user friendly for anything one might be looking for. In terms of improvement, it think the university could offer more opportunities for partime jobs to international students
