The lecturers are well-established in their field and so passionate about their course and the university which reflects so positively on the students. It really encouraged me to pick Leicester as my first choice for my postgraduate degree.

As it is a postgraduate degree, you don’t have teaching hours. You have several supervisors who guide your project and supervision over 3.5 years (average) to complete a thesis.

I loved the vibe in Oadby student village, it was really fun as it was like living in a small town full of just students!

University of Leicester is an amazing place to study as well as a great place to get the full student life experience. My favourite part of Leicester is how supportive the staff are and they really make the effort to know you personally and support you in your best interest. There are so many societies that you are spoilt for choice and students who are in the committees are super friendly. There could be more study places readily available on campus as it can be obvious when deadlines or exam seasons are approaching but overall its a wonderful campus which has a both urban and green vibe.

The first year of my course was an MRes which helped me to settle in to University of Leicester and helped me to gain a variety of skills. I feel there could have been more coverage in the modules for Semester 1 as sometimes I had to listen to the same topic twice in 2 different modules but other than this the way the course was taught and the lecturers we had were amazing
