Fashion Design degrees in East Midlands

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!

One of the best aspects of studying at De Montfort University is the supportive and diverse environment. As an international student, I feel welcomed and included. The university has strong student support services, especially the Disability Advice and Support team, who are understanding and helpful. The MSc Project Management course is practical and career-focused. The modules are well-structured, and seminars encourage discussion and real-life application of concepts. The lecturers are approachable and provide useful feedback on assignments. Student life in Leicester is also a positive experience. The city is affordable compared to other UK cities, and everything is accessible. The campus facilities, including the library and study spaces, are modern and comfortable for independent learning. While the university offers good support, sometimes communication about attendance expectations and academic requirements could be clearer, especially for students managing health or personal challenges. In addition, more flexibility in seminar attendance for students with documented disabilities could make the experience less stressful. Providing recorded seminar discussions (where possible) would help students who occasionally cannot attend in person. Overall, De Montfort University is a supportive and career-oriented institution, but improving flexibility and communication would make it even better.

University of Derby's teacher and program leader are easy and helpful, but mail replay or room find out difficult for students. Facilities are good, but IT facilities are bad because of update delay and poor, and I'd like to punch sometimes, e.g., "eo rro show," "student extra oder at activity poor news not come out well." There is no big notice board for update activity. But the purpose of the academic is clear, and all the lectures are done in the proper way. The University of Derby is a good place to study, especially in terms of teachers and academics, but there are certainly some areas where the university can improve, especially in terms of facilities. Best aspects (what makes it a great place to study): Helpful and Approachable Teachers/Program Leaders – Many students, as you have also experienced, emphasize the fact that the teachers and program leaders are helpful and approachable, not only knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the success of the students. The university excels in the quality of courses and the employability of the graduates, with high scores for these areas, often coming at the top in the student survey for these areas, with a Gold Award for Teaching Excellence. Clear Academic Structure and Proper Delivery of Lectures – As you have also experienced, the academic purposes and goals are simple and easy to understand, and the delivery of the lectures/modules is proper and on time. The courses are also relevant to the industry, with live briefs and a focus on making the students employment-ready, with high employment rates for graduates (around 94%). But The IT facilities are not very good sometimes, and there can be delays in getting work done due to updates, and sometimes the login and ID cards don't work very well, which can be frustrating at times when you want to get work done. Another thing that is not very good is the communication, as it takes ages to get a reply to an email sent to staff, and there is no big notice board or way to find out about things that are happening, so important information does not filter down to the students very well. However, if the university could improve the IT facilities so that they are more reliable and quicker to use, this would make the already good experience even better and turn it into a great one.

The best aspect of my university experience is the teaching staff and the wider university team. The lecturers are supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, and the student-facing staff are consistently kind, friendly, and approachable. There is a strong sense that everyone is willing to help, which makes the university a welcoming and encouraging place to study. An area for improvement would be the reliability of facilities, particularly the internet connection and printers, which have recently not been working consistently. Improving this would make studying on campus more efficient and less stressful.
