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.

Best aspects: The best part of my experience studying Business and Economics at NTU has been the practical focus of the course. Many modules include real-world case studies and applied learning, which helps make the theory more relevant to real business situations. The lecturers are generally supportive and approachable, and there are good opportunities to develop employability skills through presentations, group projects, and career support. The campus facilities and study spaces are also very good, which makes it easier to work and collaborate with others. Worst aspects: One of the more challenging aspects has been the amount of group work, which can sometimes feel unfair when contributions between members are unequal. At times communication around assignments or deadlines could be clearer. Additionally, while the course content is useful, some modules can feel quite theoretical and less directly connected to current industry practices.

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.
