I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

We're lacking a lot in terms of music facilities, or facilities available are very old/decrepid. Bangor is a very beautiful area, however ot is a struggle to get around with mobility issues. Everyone here is friendly as we're a small community. It has a cosy, warm vibe.

What students say about criminal-law

The uni itself is beautiful and right in the city centre, there is lots to do around Nottingham and it is relatively cheap compared to other areas. Lively food scene and nightlife, and there are lots of parks and other activities in or near the city centre. Support from my tutor and course leaders has been perfect, my one complaint would be the lack of support regarding mental health. My tutor and course leaders have been extremely accommodating and attentive to the needs of disabled or mentally ill students, and counselling is available within the student union, however it is limited to 6 sessions and has a very long waitlist, taking (in my experience) 6 months to get an initial assessment. However, I have made so many friends and received support from both them, and the staff on my course. Would absolutely recommend NTU!

What students say about criminal-law

The best aspect of my university experience has been the community at Westminster and the confidence I have gained throughout my time here. The environment has encouraged me to become more independent, engage with different perspectives, and feel comfortable expressing my own ideas. The lecturers have been supportive and approachable, and I have particularly valued the opportunities to participate in discussions rather than simply learning from textbooks. Westminster’s central London location and diverse student community have also made the experience feel genuinely connected to the professional world. The worst aspect has probably been that, at times, balancing academic work with personal responsibilities could be challenging. I also think there could be more opportunities for students to build connections with employers and gain practical experience directly through the university. While there are careers events and opportunities available, expanding these further would help students feel even more prepared for life after graduation. Overall, Westminster has given me much more than an academic qualification. It has helped me become more confident, independent and ambitious, which is what I value most about my university experience.

I like the location as it’s near to central London without the hustle and bustle. It’s also got a nice river and close to the train station. I like how there’s a range of projects and the diversity of the subject. I dislike how confusing the initial project Hidden in Plain sight was as it didn’t make practical sense to me.

It’s a great place to study because the academic environment is supportive, the teaching quality is strong, and there are plenty of opportunities to grow through projects, events, and collaboration with classmates. The campus community also makes it easy to feel included and motivated. It could be improved by streamlining administrative processes, offering clearer communication, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy. More practical learning opportunities and better support during exam periods would also make a big difference.

What students say about criminal-law

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

Studying criminal law

Studying criminal law will allow you to specialise in an important area of legal practice, giving you a deep understanding of crime, criminal law and the justice system. Key topics your degree might cover include criminal litigation, the law of evidence, the legal system, legal skills and the penal system, as you look to develop the skills needed to think critically about law and its role in society and learn how to effectively communicate reasoned arguments orally and in writing. Many criminal law courses also include practical experiences, such as work placements, internships or work experience. After graduating, you’ll be able to continue pursuing a legal career as a solicitor or barrister, or you could use the degree as the foundation for a broad range of other careers, including in international relations, education and human resources.
