Biology degrees in North East England

Great teaching and student support, you feel more as a person rather than just a number when studying at St. George's. Facilities are quite good, nice classrooms and great library, tends to get rather packed during busy hours but otherwise it's a very cosy place to study and work on assignments. Lecturer's have always been helpful and provide quick responses to any query I ever had. I also really enjoy that discussions are encouraged during lectures. We also get a good amount of exposure from professionals not only from the institution but also from the hospital and other universities. Great support for student career and life after graduating.

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.

I really wanted to study Health and Social Care further to enable me to have in depth knowledge and be prepared to potentially study a nursing degree. One major problem I was facing was not wanting to leave home just yet UCNL providing me that very option. The staff within Uni are supportive and friendly and accommodating. They always try and push you to reach your full potential.
