Mathematics degrees in Northern England

The people are the best part along with the campus, the courses are taught by amazing staff. There are slight improvements that would help the overall rating but overall it's a good and delightful university

Student life in this university is really enjoyable! I have found the student events to be the most enjoyable and I have made alot of friends through these events. The one thing i dont love about the university is the location, whilst we are close to a big city, its further away than i realised when i applied for it. Making social nights out that little bit harder. I also feel like theres not much social activities to do in Ormskirk overall.

My university experience has been a journey of growth, challenge, and self-discovery. Pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after working in the pharmaceutical and clinical field has allowed me to see healthcare from a completely different perspective. Instead of focusing only on individual patients, I now think about communities, prevention strategies, and health systems as a whole. One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the exposure to diverse ideas and teamwork. Working in different study groups has helped me improve my communication, leadership, and collaboration skills. Each group project pushed me to think critically and consider different viewpoints. Preparing presentations, such as those on public health issues like tuberculosis, strengthened my research skills and boosted my confidence in public speaking. I also appreciate how my previous work experience in pharmacy and clinical settings allows me to contribute practical insights during discussions. Another positive aspect has been personal growth. University has taught me time management, discipline, and resilience. Balancing coursework, deadlines, and group responsibilities has not always been easy, but it has helped me become more organized and focused. I have learned how to analyze data, interpret research, and apply evidence-based approaches to real-world health challenges. However, there have also been challenges. Group work, while rewarding, can sometimes be stressful due to differences in commitment levels, communication styles, or schedules. Managing academic pressure, tight deadlines, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance has also been difficult at times. Additionally, transitioning from a practical, hands-on clinical role to a more research- and theory-based academic environment required adjustment. Overall, my university experience has been both demanding and enriching. The challenges have helped me grow stronger and more adaptable, while the positive experiences have expanded my knowledge and career vision. Studying public health has not only enhanced my professional skills but has also deepened my passion for improving community health outcomes.

University for me has been a mix of amazing highs and tough lows. I’ve loved the independence being able to choose my own schedule, study what actually interests me, and meet people who’ve become really important in my life. There have been so many opportunities to grow and try new things, and that part has been genuinely exciting. But it hasn’t all been easy. The workload can get overwhelming, the financial pressure is always in the background, and there are times when I’ve felt stressed or even lonely, even with people around. Overall, it’s been a messy but meaningful experience that’s shaped me in ways I didn’t expect.

Teaching staff here are exceptionally kind to students and are willing to go an extra mile to help students' studies, with a variety of adjustment measures available. There are too many people smoking on campus and the university management ought to take care of that.

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

I think my uni is great. I love living so close to campus because im in one of the accoms and the facilities here are amazing too. The on campus restaurant Habita is amazing, great food and vibe. The overall facilities in the uni are amazing too, especially the dedicated study areas for different departments
