What students say about sustainability

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 sustainability

I am an international student on distance mode, therefore I do not get the opportunity to use the physical infrastructures of the university. This is the reason why I could not rate higher for some areas. However, although online, I am well supported by the virtual learning platform and my research supervisors.

What students say about sustainability

best- Everyone is very social and the campus is easy to navigate, the equipment is sufficient and the professors all seem very nice, and seem to genuinely enjoy their subjects. worst- Things can be a bit expensive sometimes e.g. laundry, and moodle is a bit hard to navigate.

What students say about sustainability

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 sustainability

Pros: "The sense of community and the support from the Students' Union have been highlights of my time here. The campus facilities are modern, and there’s a great balance between academic rigour and social opportunities." Cons: "While the facilities are excellent, some of the older study spaces could benefit from more power outlets to accommodate students during peak exam seasons."

The best part of my university experience is how helpful my lecturers/academic advisors are. I also like how friendly students are on my campus. I don't have anything to say for "worst" aspect of university since I enjoy my time here.

What students say about sustainability

I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

What students say about sustainability

One of the best aspects of studying at De Montfort University is the supportive and diverse environment. As an international student, I feel welcomed and included. The university has strong student support services, especially the Disability Advice and Support team, who are understanding and helpful. The MSc Project Management course is practical and career-focused. The modules are well-structured, and seminars encourage discussion and real-life application of concepts. The lecturers are approachable and provide useful feedback on assignments. Student life in Leicester is also a positive experience. The city is affordable compared to other UK cities, and everything is accessible. The campus facilities, including the library and study spaces, are modern and comfortable for independent learning. While the university offers good support, sometimes communication about attendance expectations and academic requirements could be clearer, especially for students managing health or personal challenges. In addition, more flexibility in seminar attendance for students with documented disabilities could make the experience less stressful. Providing recorded seminar discussions (where possible) would help students who occasionally cannot attend in person. Overall, De Montfort University is a supportive and career-oriented institution, but improving flexibility and communication would make it even better.

What students say about sustainability

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

Studying sustainability

Sustainability means keeping something going and making sure it doesn’t decrease, die out or stop happening. It’s generally applied to three areas – the environment, economy and society – and it’s never been as important as it is today. Sustainability degrees can cover subjects like environmental management, fashion, finance, engineering, energy, geography, biological science, food production, and more. You’ll learn about how we can continue to make things and run worldwide businesses while preserving and containing the environment at the same time. During a sustainability course, you’ll learn transferable skills, as well as specific skills in your field, that can be applied to the real world to improve sustainability. Job roles that graduates can go into include sustainability management and coordination, data analysis, environmental assessment, habitat surveying and financial analysis.
