What students say about child-psychology

I think the support is great. The course is good however I personally do not enjoy the lectures in third year. I feel the atmosphere is great and the library is a lovely place to study. My only complaint is that parking is quite limited as you have to arrive 1-2hours before just make sure you have time to find a space.

The best aspect of the uni experience would be the campus. There are many things to do here, as long as you actually head over to the Hope Park campus. I didn’t do this for the first two years but did in the final year and it was life changing!

What students say about child-psychology

I so far really enjoy my course, I would say the location and general feel make it better than any other option, the variety of places I can just relax and sit down or to study is really nice. If I was to point out any negatives it would be with occasional lessons that have 2 or 3 hour gaps between which feel slightly disjointed

What students say about child-psychology

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

What students say about child-psychology

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

What students say about child-psychology

I really like my research lab and supervisor. They are very insightful, has very good intuition and research ideas. I'm also really grateful for the opportunity to work with leading researchers on very interesting projects exploring how deep learning can improve healthcare management. What I dislike is that very high rent of university-owned student accommodation. It's so counterintuitive and unexpected that private student accommodation in Sheffield is many times cheaper.

What students say about child-psychology

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.
