Community Nursing postgraduate degrees in Southern England

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

Honestly the biggest thing for me has been the support system throughout the course. Being on a radiotherapy degree can be really intense mentally and emotionally, especially during long placements, but I’ve always felt like there were people I could go to when I needed help or reassurance. Placement experiences have definitely been the most valuable part of my uni journey because they’ve helped me grow so much in confidence, communication, professionalism, and patient care. I feel a lot more work-ready now after being in real clinical environments and working with actual patients and MDT teams. The course itself prepares you well for the realities of working in healthcare and gives you opportunities to develop both practical and personal skills. At times the workload could feel quite intense, especially when balancing placements with assignments and revision, but that’s expected within a healthcare degree and the student services and course lecturers were there to help and support me every step of the way!

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

It offers a full range of courses relating to Science. And in the course that I am currently doing, the modules have been changed to be more reflective of what employers want when you graduate, as well as it being reflective of core skills needed for almost every aspect of Biology and Chemistry.

The lecturers are lovely and the course material is good. I think the study could be somewhat more guided, though that may just be the reality of university. I think neurodiverse students, such as myself, would benefit greatly from more explcit and personal guidance
