What students say about ophthalmic

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

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

Genuinely speaking, my university, UWE Bristol, is a very good place for cultural fusion and is comfortable for people from every corner of the world. It allows me to learn about different cultures and meet different people, helping me build a good understanding with everyone, which will be very helpful for my future career. However, if I talk about the negative aspects of my university, there are not many major issues. I believe the support team and the administrative staff who handle student matters need to be more accurate and supportive. If they act more efficiently, students will feel more comfortable dealing with different situations. As international students, the education system and university environment are quite new to us, so we need strong support from the university body.
