Software Development HND/HNC degrees

Best thing is the tutors and staff being in the industry themselves. Worst thing is the studios not being consistent with each other when it comes to computers and equipment. 16gb ram on some and 8gb on others.

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.

Portsmouth University is in a great location- I really love the proximity to the sea! It is a very walkable city so university buildings are really easy to get too. Overall, I have found the student support exceptional, particularly when needing help from disability student advice. They really want you to succeed. There are also so many opportunities to meet new people in societies and sports clubs. To improve, maybe timetables could be arranged so that students get guaranteed days off to work a part time job?

The way we do just one module at a time and the fact we have no exams but are assessed in a range of different assessments makes it fun and unique. It could be improved by its facilities on the business campus so a cafe and a library would be nice.

The best part would be that the college is in city centre which makes it easier to travel. Tutors and staff are really friendly and helpful. Genuine place with a lot of facilities available and yep its great. The only thing which would be a little disappointing is that the service signal strength inside the college is not that great. Wi-fi for phones and for external devices are not very powerful which is annoying sometimes but rest everything's perfect.

College has offered great support over the last year during COVID, I have still managed to be able to do my work and achieve the grades I wanted. College has kept clean and offered many hand sanitizer stations. College is offering various online catch up sessions and opportunity sessions.
