Pros: The Whiteknights campus is very green and beautiful, the best I've seen regarding this theme. There are lots of facilities such as a big library, cafés, gym, sport pitches (football, tennis, rugby, etc). Many societies about different topics and hobbies to socialize with people who share your interests. This uni has made a noticeable effort against discrimination, open to everyone no matter sex, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Cons: Obviously not the majority, but I've come across with some lecturers that seem to not put too much effort on their classes (lectures consisting in reading slides). Sometimes it doesn't feel worth to attend a lecture but study the content by yourself. Student support is OK, could be better. I've used it and they tend to answer in around 1 day, however sometimes it can take considerably longer and that ends up in nothing clear.

In general terms the course is good, interesting content and a good mix of theory and practice. My course is taught in person, with some examinations online. If you can manage your time well you will have a lot of free time as there are not many in-class hours (Around 8-12 per week). In terms of lecturers, I've seen all types, some are great, others are average, and some are very boring, most lectures will be interesting depending on your disposition.

I was on placement this year, so I haven’t experienced much academic wise. But I have accessed mental well-being services as well as careers services which have both been really good. While on placement, the support you can get from your coordinator is great, they are great at communicating and helping you out with queries or issues. I also accessed counselling with my university this year which saw me within a few weeks and triaged within a few days.
