PhD students seem to be overlooked at the moment due to the current financial landscape. Lots of PhD students are unhappy about the lack of community being created for them by the uni which is like to a lack of desk spaces, lack of social paces to eat lunch, a lack of events which the university he’s previously put on like coffee mornings and festive socials, there is also a lack of funding for conferences meaning a lack of opportunity for PhD students to disseminate their work and network.

Although it’s not a taught course the uni puts on lots of seminar sessions for PhD students both through our school and the doctoral college. These are really helpful and enable you to learn more about a range of topics and areas

People from all around the world, great diversity. Student support services are great too. They can improve by doing more events for postgraduate students.

Teaching is okay.

Best place to live. Complete value for money.
