Agriculture, Animal Care, and Veterinary Science postgraduate degrees

The facilities are great, we have access to everything we need for our coursework and more. There is a gym and loads of options for sport. The uni holds events for all sorts of holidays and activities. The student union is really supportive. There are great initiatives for sustainability. Student life separate from the uni, as far as I’ve noticed, is very nightlife based but that might just be because I haven’t explored enough.

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful

Uni of Reading has a really nice campus with plenty of green space and is in a nice area of Reading that is a short walk to town, student housing is also right next to campus so easy to do for second and third year. Has a really nice library thats great for getting work done and Wednesday night union on campus is great. Accommodation on and off campus is very expensive however and in general student life is more expensive here that at other unis.

Best: the student life and the interesting modules in my course. Worst - not always feeling like students have the most support, especially those with learning difficulties. The support isn't the same as going through college, and we should receive the same amount of support, as our challenges haven't changed just because things have changed academically.

Beautiful campus, lots of hands on experience, lecturers that are happy to answer questions and provide additional support The social nights can feel quite rowdy if you arent involved, but the SU does offer quieter evening events as well Access to all shopping essentials on campus, with three cafes that all serve great coffee. For larger shops, the best way to get to town is the shuttlebus, which is becoming more frequent over time, and is only £2 per day

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

I enjoyed the course and it’s structure. I believe, that it set me up well for my research project and gave me the skills that employers are looking for. The worse aspect was the lack of time for activities outside of studying. Lectures and assignments took up most of the day and evening, especially during coursework and exam season.
