The campus is very buzzy and I have made lots of good friends. My course is fantastic and I am able to access so much to help me out. All the food spots are great especially as I have the very handy Campus meal plan.

What students say about surgery

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

What students say about surgery

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.

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

What students say about surgery

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

What students say about surgery

Having come to this campus, the atmosphere and pure friendliness of the staff is unmatched. being a mature student, i had worries and doubts about fitting in and falling behind, however, the uni of Sussex has supported and welcomed me in every way possible. the facilities provided are unmatched, with a variety of places to help give the best uni experience and education. and the societies at this school are so versatile! the only potential critic i have is having a cheaper option for shopping on site, but that's not much in contrast to what i and many others have been given :)

My overall experience was very positive. the lecturers was supportive, and the MBA programme was valuable for my professional development. More flexibility with assignment deadlines would be appreciated

Best experiences are working within the kitchens amongst other culinary driven peers. The student support is good too. Things that could be better are the resources provided for culinary students as it seems to be a reoccurring issue where the isn’t enough produce to make a dish and this can be understandable at times however in order to work to the best possible ability we need the best resources and quantity too.

The academic part is the best and the student well being part is the worst like seer academic pressure, immense amount of assignments too much to catch up with, constantly being sleep deprived, and etc. Two bottles of wine every single day.

What students say about surgery

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

Studying surgery

The most usual career path to pursue with a surgery degree is that of a surgeon. All surgeons must first qualify as doctors, so students will have a basic medical degree which includes the principles of medicine and surgery. Training encompasses several years of study which includes surgical skills practise, advanced physiology and pharmacology, assessment and methods of patients care, and professional behaviour and leadership skills. Surgeons have a critical role in healthcare, performing both lifesaving operations and elective procedures to enhance patients' quality of life, and it’s typical that a student specialises in a particular field of surgical practise in the course of becoming qualified.
