What students say about ophthalmic

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.

What students say about ophthalmic

Best experience is the facilities, and the student centre. Worst experience? I have two: the accommodation office and the actual course. During summer break, I am having a lot of problems trying to find somewhere to stay until September 6th, and they have offered me an extension in the same building where I currently am - on the top floor, and I am disabled, which they know. They five hundred quid for me to stay there for just six weeks - disgusting. Second - the course. I was really enjoying it until the summer placement (Bone Boot Camp). The mornings were fine, as we were talking about the skeleton - I want to go into bioarchaeology and osteoarchaeology when - or if - I graduate. There were too much emphasis on social media, or a 'Social Media Takeover' as it's called. ! And I thought archaeology and anthropology were sciences, not to be taken lightly, but this makes it seem like a joke, and a bad one, at that. It's clear this course is engineered to appeal to much younger students, and not someone nearly 50, as I am. I am good with technology, but I don't think social media should be part of this course, or career. If I wanted to be an influencer, I would be putting dumb videos on YouTube or TikTok. I just can't take it seriously anymore, and all this stress of what's happening right now? I am really thinking about dropping out, because it's not worth the aggravation. I gave up my home, and my job to do this, and it was obviously a sacrifice that I shouldn't have made. UCLAN is great if you're under 35. If not, you're screwed

What students say about ophthalmic

Best part was deffinately the student life event throughout the year, the general staff, making me feel at home and having genuinly good event that are interesting, other then that, the teachers, the accommodation and everything else was really nice. One bad thing that i'd want to mention was, the difficulty of studies, even tho it was first year, coming from a strict system like A levels to an easy going slow burn education system was weird, and the tests were loosely checked for cheating or anything like that, made it really hard to genuinly study and take it seriously enough to the point i was expecting from uni. Still, thats just a culture shock going from a levels to uni first year. All and all, the full experience was so good that, the worst thing was "it wasn't hard enough"

Best parts: access to loads of learning materials Worst parts: not much free activities, communication with student union isn’t great so I tend to miss out on activities which impacts my social life and mental health Also the school doesn’t provide support with finding a placement

Very quiet, lots of areas to study and lecture halls are large and comfortable. I would like there to be more activity based societies and for the society website to be updated quicker because new ones have trouble being added and there are old ones that have closed one or two years ago

What students say about ophthalmic

The best part of my university experience has been the growth that has happened alongside the degree itself. Studying law has pushed me to think in ways I never had to before. It has made me more analytical, more confident in expressing my opinions, and more resilient when things do not go to plan. Even in moments where I struggled, I realised that I am capable of more than I thought. I have also valued the independence that university gives you. You learn very quickly that your progress depends on the effort you put in. When you show up, engage with the material, and take responsibility for your own development, you can really see the difference. Some of my modules have genuinely challenged and inspired me, especially when the content felt relevant to real world issues. The most difficult aspect of university has been managing everything outside the classroom. Academic pressure, financial stress, and personal challenges can all overlap at the same time. It can feel isolating, especially when you assume everyone else is coping perfectly. I think universities could improve by offering more proactive support, particularly around mental health and placement guidance. Sometimes students need encouragement and structure before they reach breaking point, not after. Overall, my experience has not been perfect, but it has been transformative. I have grown academically and personally, and that growth is something I will carry with me beyond my degree.

What students say about ophthalmic

i love the community - societies are great, i love how i’ve met so many people and get to do a course i love, the worst aspect is maybe how many days were in as it doesn’t see very worth it and facilities/resources for art students as we got £150 from an exhibition last year and they kept the money for “resources” however we’ve not seen any

What students say about ophthalmic

Teesside University is honestly a good place to study, especially if you’re doing something practical like engineering. The lecturers are approachable and actually try to help rather than just reading off slides. The course structure makes sense and there’s a good balance between theory and hands on work. The campus is easy to get around and the facilities are modern, especially the labs and library. There are plenty of study spaces and resources which help a lot during coursework and exams. Student support is decent too, particularly for international students and people coming through foundation routes.
