Computer Security Systems postgraduate degrees

The lecturing staff are incredible and really care about helping students thrive, when you have an interest in something they are always there to help and push you each week to ensure you reach your goals

At the University of Southampton it’s the student body and community who makes it. The community is unreal and (I think) everyone feels part of it and that they belong. I would say the Students’ Union could actually listen to students more as they feel so far removed from the body they’re meant to represent

My experience so far has been great. The best parts are being able to come onto campus and access any resources I may need- everyone is happy to help. Support is always there when needed even from when I’m at home. I haven’t really found any bad aspects. All in all, this is a great place to study and would probably recommend to anyone who’s looking to start University. They have good food!

It’s a great place to study since it offers a lot of study areas, alongside a wide range of modules that are all interesting. However, it could improve on the well-being side and have more trained professionals available to talk to

De Montfort University feels fresh and on the up. It has good support mechanisms for students, including counselling available for all, although this was limited as demand was high. The facilities varied widely depending on school and faculty. The arts students enjoy the modern Vijay Patel Building, while healthcare students such as myself were in the Hawthorne Building, one of the oldest on the campus and quite dated in its facilities. This could be improved to provide greater equality between faculties and encourage investment into STEM subjects.

The location is fantastic. Plymouth is a beautiful city with decent nightlife and you can easily get on a train or a cheap bus and travel in any direction and enjoy the most beautiful coast and countryside. The main campus is nice, albeit mostly grey concrete with some ugly modern art thrown in. There isn't as much greenery as other universities and some of the facilities aren't great but the good ones are really modern, really colourful and very comfortable. The lecturers are nice people and some of their classes are really interesting and involving. The Student Union organises all sorts of events celebrating different cultures and in the bar there are drinks for a reasonable price, themed discos and a pub quiz every Sunday, all very enjoyable. There are lots of sports clubs and different societies to join and they're generally very welcoming.
