Nuclear Physics degrees

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

Most of the lecturers are great and very talented. But I would say the first year is very intense in terms of pace and the amount of content for each lecture so a little overwhelming. There’s a large amount of neuroscience and stats. Feedback can be a bit vague. There are societies and sport clubs. I tried a few societies but found them cliquey but others like them. Can’t comment on SUbas I’m a commuter and never been. The location of the uni is pretty isolated and boring. I’m a commuter but would feel bored living in Egham. It just feels like a village and is a 2 mile round walk. The uni is next to an A road and the walk up the hill is dodgy (narrow path). The people here tend to be on the posh side. I do think the campus and library is pretty, there’s a good library and teaching quality is good.

What makes it a great place to study: Many study places, great teachers, good learning environment What can improve: 1. faith space especially for Muslim we have to pray 5 times a day, the prayer space is not in every building and walking from one building to another takes time. The wudhu space is also only available in Manchester Museum, so we have to use the public washroom to make wudhu 2. The study space, there are many plugs that are not working either in Main Library and Alan Gilbert Learning Commons (not sure about other places), so I hope it’ll get fixed 3. So many websites, I hope there’ll be one integrated space that student can check everything without having to jump from one website to another

The academic support and teaching quality have been fantastic. Lecturers are genuinely passionate about their subjects and always willing to help outside of class. The campus atmosphere is very welcoming, and there are plenty of student societies to join, which made it easy to settle in and make friends. But the exam dates releases late so that it is hard for me to buy my flight tickets to go to my hometown.

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.
