Philosophy degrees in East Midlands

I have overall enjoyed my experience at this university. I have made some close friends on my course that I enjoy studying with as well as doing things outside of university. They also have an amazing range of societies with a society for just about anything you can imagine. It would be difficult to not find at least one society you would enjoy being a part of. Doing a subject like law, I think it is important to have things to do outside of academics. However, one thing that I think could be improved is one or two seminar leaders are not super helpful when it comes to explaining how the exams work or what the examiners will be looking for. Yes, they teach us the content, but that is not always good enough.

The campus has a lovely and homey feel; it isn't too big to get lost in, and all the staff are amazing! The facilities and library are well kept up with the addition the student ambassadors have put into the university.

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well

Loughborough is very accessible and has lots to offer solely on the campus, luckily it’s only a short walk into town for more as well! I do think some sort of student bus card for the sprint bus when going into town would be great as a trip is £3.

The campus is very green and is just a beautiful place to study and work. There is a really good balance between socialising and work, I’m able to balance playing sport and meeting up with friends with my studies, not having to compromise on much. The lecturers are very helpful and they generally explain things well, although the pastoral and careers support through our tutors could be improved. Generally I am very glad I chose to study here in Nottingham, and would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve highly in both their career and at the same time be able to have a thriving social life and overall good work life balance.
