What students say about biotechnology

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

So far everything is fine. The lecturers are really helpful and won't make you feel insecure about your knowledge. There is just some problems oh terms of timetable management, but for now everything seems great.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

Many good aspects of the uni. Only main complaint is some of the lecture halls have really uncomfortable seating which makes it difficult go engage with the lecture itself. Aside from that, great lecturers, plentiful study areas, and pleasant community

What students say about biotechnology

I really enjoy studying at Essex, I think it is an amazing university and I have really enjoyed my time here. It definitely has things to improve on, for example, although the facilities are mostly great, and whilst I've been here there have been steady improvements in that area (hurrah to dual monitor PCs in 1 lab). Some parts are still lacking, for example, I don't think there are enough study pods throughout the library and student centre and some rooms and buildings are just a bit tired and can get quite cold in the winter. The campus is amazing, although it is a lot of concrete, very 60s, I feel like it manages to avoid being ugly by the fact it's so green, no matter where you go you will end up walking through park land, often seeing deer, squirrels, rabbits etc. The SU is really good, but you can see it struggles with money, one of my biggest gripes with it is the lack of any real big events. Whilst almost every other uni has some form of end-of-year celebration, a ball, mini concert etc, this SU has never organised something like that. Favouring smaller events

The best part of my university experience has been the course alongside the university facilities that are on offer. When it comes to improvement, the student's union and it's nightlife could be improved.

What students say about biotechnology

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about biotechnology

I am pursuing a one-year master's course at Sheffield Hallam University. My academic background is in commerce; I completed a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com). However, I have decided to transition my career into the IT industry. The IDP team assisted me in exploring various options, and I ultimately chose this program because it is specifically designed for non-computing students who aspire to build their careers in the field of computing. This course includes both theoretical classes and practical lab sessions, which are conducted one day a week. The combination of lectures and hands-on learning provides a balanced approach to understanding key computing concepts and applying them in real-world scenarios. The tutors are incredibly supportive and cooperative, always ready to clarify doubts and provide guidance. Best Experiences at Sheffield Hallam University: 1. Supportive Environment : The university offers excellent resources, such as access to advanced labs and a library with extensive digital and physical resources. 2. Practical Learning: The lab sessions are interactive and help reinforce theoretical knowledge. 3. Cultural Diversity: Interacting with students from different backgrounds has broadened my perspective. 4. Career Support: The career services team assists with CV preparation, interview techniques, and connecting with potential employers. Challenges/Worst Experiences: 1. Adapting to Computing Concepts: Coming from a commerce background, the initial weeks were challenging as I needed to familiarize myself with technical terms and concepts, also i think we need to do hard work in order to compete with existing students who already studied computing in previous studies 2. Weather: Adjusting to the cold and rainy climate in Sheffield was difficult initially. 3. Time Management: Balancing coursework and independent study requires good time management skills, especially with a one-year intensive program. Overall, the experience at Sheffield Hallam has been transformative, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to pursue a successful career in computing.
