Engineering Studies HND/HNC degrees in East Midlands

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.

The best aspect of my university experience is the teaching staff and the wider university team. The lecturers are supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, and the student-facing staff are consistently kind, friendly, and approachable. There is a strong sense that everyone is willing to help, which makes the university a welcoming and encouraging place to study. An area for improvement would be the reliability of facilities, particularly the internet connection and printers, which have recently not been working consistently. Improving this would make studying on campus more efficient and less stressful.
