Photography degrees in East Midlands

The uni itself is beautiful and right in the city centre, there is lots to do around Nottingham and it is relatively cheap compared to other areas. Lively food scene and nightlife, and there are lots of parks and other activities in or near the city centre. Support from my tutor and course leaders has been perfect, my one complaint would be the lack of support regarding mental health. My tutor and course leaders have been extremely accommodating and attentive to the needs of disabled or mentally ill students, and counselling is available within the student union, however it is limited to 6 sessions and has a very long waitlist, taking (in my experience) 6 months to get an initial assessment. However, I have made so many friends and received support from both them, and the staff on my course. Would absolutely recommend NTU!

The university atmosphere and staff library, reception and the tutor are the excellent resources available to students, fostering an environment where academic growth and personal development can thrive. With dedicated mentors and innovative programs, learners are supported every step of the way. Although, making friends is quite difficult for me, it could be because my asian appearance, the students tends to just make all black groups and also white in the different groups. This separation can be challenging, but I am determined to find my place and connect with others who share similar interests and values. Engaging in campus activities and reaching out to diverse organizations may help bridge these gaps and foster meaningful relationships. I do not expect to be friends outside university , but I hope to create a supportive network within this environment. By actively participating and being open to new experiences, I believe I can cultivate friendships that enrich my university life.

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

Location is great with parks, cafes, restaurants, pubs, as well as bus routes and easy train access to London/Birmingham. The campus is always clean and tidy, lots of seating/places to study with accommodation for students with additional needs. I'm concerned about funding issues as teaching staff face layoffs, especially in creative courses.
