Nursing (Children's)

University of Bradford

It's been made obvious since covid that campus spaces aren't big enough or plentiful enough to support all students on all cohorts at once. However when this is raised through the union, the university have offered to get straight on to fix it. It's less than ten minutes' walk from town centre shops, however there is a mini supermarket over the road from main campus as well as a fair few cafes and milkshake shops. For things you Needed, you wouldn't have to go far. For things you wanted but didn't need you also wouldn't have to go far. The bus/national train station is on the south side of town, about 15 minutes walk away, with trains to the rest of the countrty and a bus serving the local international airport of Leeds and Bradford. This is about half an hour's travel by car, so it won't be much more by bus. Pre-covid the students would go to the many clubs and pubs in town, the nearest being a Wetherspoons 5mins walk away. This has since shut down. I couldn't tell you where the clubs.are since I've never used them but I know they are plentiful and all within 20 mins walk of campus. Like 'spoons though, I'm not sure how many are open. However, there is a student bar on-site, 2 great (if expensive) cafes and a dining hall. Campus itself looks light and airy. It's a new univerity so eveything is very modern looking. It's not to my taste but it is nice to let a lot of light in in winter months when everyone is down in the dumps about exams, placements and the.weather. It's always very clean, even before covid turned us into paranoid cleaning freaks! There are on site counsellors for students who are struggling with anything at all, and they have been helping students with their all too important mental health for years. They have a great disability service and will aid you in getting learning difficulties diagnosed for free at the beginning of your learning journey, then will support you through to getting the best grades you deserve after your diagnosis. There are times when it feels like tutors are not listening, but I think that would happen anywhere, and I think it depends on the day you catch them. If you send them another email later they're straight on it, I've found.

So far my experience has been different to what i thought, i honestly thought i would hate every minute of it but i don't i actually love it. i love how i'm being taught in different ways and how nice everyone is.this was just a perfect university option for me.

So far I have learned a lot, met new people, have had different experiences and there are more to come so I cannot wait. Although I was anxious at the beginning but now I have got the hang of it especially as I seek for the help I need.

Currently studying children's nursing at Bradford University and I believe it's the best place for me! Brilliant opportunities, supportive staff, great students and excellent support networks! Plus the most valuable placements ever! I believe I will become a brilliant qualified nurse due to this university

I think the university offers a vast range of education and the facilities provided in the faculty of health are amazing. I feel we are provided with the resources and support to help us through our degrees and into our careers
