BSc (Hons) Level 6 Paramedic Science Degree Apprenticeship

Nottingham Trent University

The campus and facilities are great. They are local to other study areas and close to, if not in, city centre. This makes both day and night time activities readily available for all demographics. Student support from my lecturers in my experience has been great, always prioritised and treated as an individual rather than just a student. However, it could be improved through encouraging a better sense of community between and in societies. Most societies feel very ‘clicky’ and I have found it difficult to fit in to most. This could be improved by more common and varied social nights, as I have found that the majority of them centre around club nights which is not tailored to everyone.

I think that NTU could be improved by better parking access, as students cannot park on campus unless they live outside a far radius, making it stressful, long and expensive to commute to lectures. The facilities are great for my course, as we have specialised equipment and rooms designed for practical use, for example, the simulation flat. The nightlife and student union are great, as there's always stuff on no matter what day, and societies help people build connections while keeping a wide range of common interests in mind, from sports to academics. I think one thing that could be improved at NTU is the mental health and wellbeing support. While there are already points of contact in place, it is stressed by the university that these are only for issues that significantly impact your studies, e.g., addictions, grievances, pregnancy, abuse, etc. I think in order to improve this, they should have a system where students have a rep on their course from a higher year who is a point of contact or have personal 1-1 meetings with personal tutors or student support officers specifically for this purpose which are mandatory once a term.

NTU has an incredible energy about it. The campuses are state-of-the-art, the staff are passionate about what they teach. NTU very much feels like a second home for me now.

dont have a particularly bad experience so far. the facilities are incredible and there is an amazing support system in place

On the whole Ntu Is a great place to study but I feel communication could be greatly improved especially where external placements are involved.
