Zoology 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 Experience was Good for me when I compare to own Country (India) Whereas the Students and Faculties in the University are well Mannered and Giving respect to each other and the Teaching is also good . The University is conducting many Events for the International students to get a Cultural connection with other peoples and this helps a Lot to get to know about the various cultures around the World

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

​What truly sets the University of Derby apart for me is its 'hands-on first' philosophy. It’s not just about sitting in a lecture hall; it’s about actually doing the job before you even graduate. As a national leader in employability ranking 2nd in the UK this year. The university has invested in us with incredible facilities. Walking into our new £75 million Zero-Carbon Business School or practicing in the mock Crown Court and NHS wards makes the transition to a career feel seamless. Having partners like Rolls-Royce involved in our learning means we aren't just getting a degree; we’re getting a head start. ​Beyond the classroom, I’ve found the support here to be incredibly personal. With NSS scores consistently above 85%, you really feel like the staff know your name and care about your progress. Plus, living in award-winning accommodation has made settling into university life much easier than I expected. ​ ​Of course, there is always room to improve. To really reach the "next level," I'd love to see: ​Better Connections: Stronger physical and social links to make the walk between Kedleston Road and the City campuses feel more integrated. ​Global Reach: Continuing to push our research reputation so our degrees carry even more weight internationally. ​Smoother Admin: A more streamlined approach to timetabling and digital communication. ​Inclusive Socializing: More diverse, non-alcohol-based spaces that reflect our entire student community.

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.
