What students say about botany

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

What students say about botany

The vet school are very involved and really want the best for us. They regularly make changes based on our experiences and comments . The curriculum is constantly developing and the accreditations speak for themselves. Staff are friendly and so easy to speak to, never make you feel like you are asking a silly question or that you are unable to push them with your questions if you want to know even more. Bristol city is expensive relative to northern unis and is one of the most expensive outside London despite us getting minimal loan! But Bristol is the epitome of a student city, its vibrant, something for everyone and really does have a small town feel which if you are like me and hate big cities, is perfect!

What students say about botany

for my department, we have very good lecturers from all over the world with a range of experience, they're very friendly and really want to help, because of the diversity of the staff, you will always find someone you either vibe with or is super helpful in a specific problem you have, they're really down to earth. Theres always things to improve on, the most notable of which is just the types of study spaces, though the workaround is just walking into any random room in a building that isn't being used, and that solves the issues i have with the library etc, there are printers everywhere and yeah, not much to complain about Except one thing though, if each lecturer had the same way they set up their QMPLUS that would be good, as some lecturers have very well organised and informative QMPLUS pages while others do not, just so you know the QMPLUS page is where you can find all your lecture recordings, tutorial problems, semester plan and other info on the course,

What students say about botany

The University of Nottingham has offered me endless opportunities in order to improve my degree-specific skills, as well as employability. The student experience at Nottingham is very vibrant and there’s so much to get involved in. I think that one thing which could be improved is the advertisement of skill-enhancing sessions, workshops, etc.

Studying botany

Botany is a natural science degree subject which focuses on plant life and biology. Studying botany at uni will give you the skills and knowledge to understand plant life and horticulture, including learning about plants’ reproduction systems, metabolism, diseases, evolution and growth. You may also learn about how we can use plants to access valuable natural resources, like fuels and food, as well as doing modules on areas like an introduction to plant science, environmental science, scientific research and plant physiology. Unsurprisingly, many botany graduates go on to work in nature-focused jobs in fields like ecology, horticulture, food security, biofuel development, farming and environmental research.
