Criminology Mphil - Probation, prisons and offender rehabilitation

University of Leicester

The staff are really good when it comes to learning the modules and asking questions about the assignments. The toilets in the library could be improved a bit as they aren’t very sanitary at all.

The best: meeting diverse people, gaining knowledge, and personal growth. The worst: academic pressure, deadlines, and financial strain.

The campus is very hygienic and well organised with maps throughout the area so you can easily locate yourself. The lectures a re big and spacious with the work being engaging and enthralling. There is always activities going on and with such a range of societies to join, becoming social and making friends couldn't be easier. However the lack of charging plugs in lectures is a key issue, and often find my computer dying mid lecture if I have multiple in one day. The student accommodation village being in Oadby is fine but being told that buses run every 5 minutes when in matter of fact they run every 15-20 was frustrating and time consuming if I had breaks during lectures. The city accommodation is much more updated and should be advertised as some of the best accommodation to choose instead of the village where repairs were often needed for my flat. Pricing of accommodation was varied and very affordable depending your economic status which is inclusive and also offers more choice when deciding. Persona tutors is an amazing addition to have to the university experience, where you can have a singular mentor who is able to help and direct you to where you need to go. the support system is concise and easy to follow, should someone use it. I think Leicester is an amazing university and I would very much recommend it to anyone who is unsure of a university to enrol to.

The best aspects about uni is that all the work is available on blackboard and that the work is easy to access. The teachers can be some what helpful.

The teachers are well knowledged In their fields and passionate about what and how they teach. It's engaging and exciting especially when they have first hand experience in the field theyre teaching. Student life can be lonely when you have to move, making friends is sometimes hard as now you have to juggle school and life responsibilities along with it
