I am currently studying MSc Data Science at London South Bank University, and my experience has been really positive. The professors are excellent, very knowledgeable, and always ready to help students whenever needed. The university is truly student friendly and understands the challenges we face. They always try their best to provide the right support and guidance. The placement opportunities here are also excellent, with a strong focus on helping students build their careers. Overall, LSBU is a great place to study, learn, and grow.

The student union is a lovely space which holds regular events, and there is lots of support for students available. There is a nice atmosphere on campus with lots of places to eat and study. A new green space has recently opened giving it a bit more of a campus feel despite being in the city centre and lots of the buildings are very modern. I love that it is close to shops and amenities with good nightlife yet also a short walk from the sea and the barbican which are lovely places to relax.bI really like that all courses are on the main campus, as opposed to other universities which have a separate campus for healthcare students which can cause you to feel a bit isolated and do not have access to the same facilities other students do. Having said that, whilst the healthcare facilities are adequate, other universities I did visit seemed to have slightly better facilities (more modern, better layout and equipment available). The uni has recently opened a healthcare building however I am in my 2nd year and have not yet been able to use it which is disappointing. The uni halls are very basic and I though expensive for what was offered, however there is a good range of private student accommodation available in plymouth for better quality at a lower price which I would recommend. On the whole, my experience so far has been very positive and I would reccomend this university.

Too much reliance on technology I know this is standard but there should be a little more wiggle room for those who despise using laptops and other technology or struggle to use it as it kills work ethic

The facilities that supports s the class activities are top notch as they help students gain practical experience of what they are taught theoretically. More so, the laboratory support is quite great.

I love my degree. The lecturers are fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive. I love my subject and the freedom this course gives me to explore it. The block learning structure makes assessments more manageable. The assessments are often really open ended, allowing for you to research and write about your interests. It's really helped me to realise exactly what career path I want to follow. Theyre always advertising internships and paid work opportunities in a variety of fields and they provide plenty of opportunities for CPD for free. They have lots of services such as the careers team and 121 library support which are fantastic. UOS isn't much of a party school- Ipswich has an awful nightlife. It's definitely a different experience to some of the bigger unis, but I've met some awesome people of all ages and backgrounds. I would recommend this course, definitely!

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.

I like inclusion that everyone is equal and part of university and there is relaxation about stuff like assignments and fees. Teachers also collaborate alot. Worst thing is lack of events. There should be more events

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,

The University of Essex is extremely international with students from 140 different countries. As an international students this makes me have a sense of community as there are a lot of students going through the same situations as me. The university also has a students union on the Top 10 in the UK. The students union is extremely active organising several events on the same day from arts and crafts, Thursday food markets, movie nights and much more. There is also the sport teams and gym on campus that students can join but to be honest as someone that does not like fiscal activity this are some facilities that I do not use often. The students union also advertises part time jobs for students which is very helpful as you can work around your studies and still make some extra cash and get some work experience. The library section for PG students is open 24/7 which is very handy when you are pulling an all-nighter. Students can also rent for free an individual study pod or a group study room. The reading for the modules are mostly online and free to access on the library website. There are computers all around the university that students can access at any time of the day to study or do some Python coding assignments in my case. I am part of the EBS department and all the academics are very helpful, you can always email with questions and they are quite quick in responding. The lectures are small which means you can have debates in class and also gives the teacher the opportunity to get to meet all the students an be able to help them with their specific needs. The teachers also have specific academic office hours on a weekly bases that students can attend if they which to discuss something in private or even if they want to continue discussing topics from lectures in depth. There are a number of talks organised by the departments where students can listen from industry professionals and get the chance to get to know more on how they should approach job applications to get into the industry. The university has the Languages for all programme where students can learn a new language for free, in my case I am learning Mandarin. So far I am still very green and I still not understand much but it it a fabulous language and it is quiet fun to draw the characters. There is a lot of societies students can join and get to meet new people. I myself am part of the Economics Society and the Women in Finance Society. So far we had events to meet up all the members but I know we are going to have an event with an external speaker to talk about training and also there is going to be a winter ball from the economics society, and lost more events that I am still not aware off. The university has a lot of green spaces, two lakes and it is amazing to go for a walk when there is no rain. We also have a 4 star hotel on campus where students can get discounts on their services. The university is only 30 minutes in the fast train form the central London which is very good to go out for a shopping day. Now the not so good part, I have to say the careers team that helps students with their CV gives very general advice and each student wants to apply to different industries and so we need specific advice and I do not think there are equipped for that. The Well-being Team even thought they can help lease with the departments if students need help, they are still not helpful as for example you have right to only two therapy sessions and sometimes I found that they do not respond to emails quickly and during my undergrad that I did at Essex as well I had one therapy session from the university at the campus and no one was there to receive me. Overall I think the university is very great, they have a great student community and for most topics they are ranked very high. I recommend attending an Open Day to check the campus and talk with students to see if Essex is for you.

Studying dental hygiene teaches you to deliver dental care as well as covering topics such as patient service and clinical skills. You’ll learn how to scale teeth, polish teeth and apply topical fluoride and fissure sealants throughout your degree. Most courses are accredited by the General Dental Council, which means upon graduation you’ll be able to register with the General Dental Council and start practicing. Most graduates go on to work as dental hygienists. In this job, you’ll be helping patients of all ages care for their teeth and gums. Most dental hygienist roles are within dental practices, but you could also work in a hospital or community dental service.
