What students say about graphic-arts

Derby University is a decent place to study and have lots of good facilities for engineering including lots of labs and a workshop which has lots of lathes, drills, laser cutters, water cutters, 3D printers and more. They also have some good sports facilities including a giant sports hall and a climbing wall, as well as a great gym membership deal that was really useful for me as a student. The night life is also pretty good as there are loads of pubs and clubs just a short walk away and also really good laye night train and bus links to other places like Nottingham which also has a great nightlife.

What students say about graphic-arts

I’m really enjoying my time at NTU! The academic environment is fantastic—lecturers are passionate about their subjects, and the courses are engaging and well-structured. There’s plenty of support available, whether it’s academic help, career advice, or mental health services. The social side is also a huge plus! There are so many societies, sports teams, and events that make it easy to meet new people and get involved. The campus itself is a great place to study, with modern facilities, good libraries, and plenty of study spaces.

What students say about graphic-arts

I am currently studying MSc International Business Management at De Montfort University, Leicester, and I am really enjoying my experience. DMU uses a block teaching method, and they are pioneers in this approach. I find it very effective because it allows me to focus on one module at a time for better understanding. The course is highly relevant to my future goals, and the teaching style is engaging and interactive — with weekly lectures, seminars, and workshops that make learning more practical and enjoyable. The only downside is that the workload can feel intense during each block, since all assessments come close together. However, this also helps build time management and focus, which are valuable skills for the future.

What students say about graphic-arts

It’s an amazing place to study with tons of opportunities for students to thrive and learn, but the social aspect on UoN is sadly not there. A lot of people struggle to find anything fun to do here and about town as it’s a very quiet place full of mainly elderly.
