Counselling Skills postgraduate degrees in Central England

The campus is very green and is just a beautiful place to study and work. There is a really good balance between socialising and work, I’m able to balance playing sport and meeting up with friends with my studies, not having to compromise on much. The lecturers are very helpful and they generally explain things well, although the pastoral and careers support through our tutors could be improved. Generally I am very glad I chose to study here in Nottingham, and would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve highly in both their career and at the same time be able to have a thriving social life and overall good work life balance.

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

It’s an amazing place to study with tons of opportunities for students to thrive and learn, but the social aspect on UoN is sadly not there. A lot of people struggle to find anything fun to do here and about town as it’s a very quiet place full of mainly elderly.

The best aspects would be the wide range of societies for students to join! The worst I believe would be the lack on promotion on what there is to do and what is accessible for students, such as public lectures or different rooms that can be used by students that i’ve learnt recently.

Derby University is a decent place to study and have lots of good facilities for engineering including lots of labs and a workshop which has lots of lathes, drills, laser cutters, water cutters, 3D printers and more. They also have some good sports facilities including a giant sports hall and a climbing wall, as well as a great gym membership deal that was really useful for me as a student. The night life is also pretty good as there are loads of pubs and clubs just a short walk away and also really good laye night train and bus links to other places like Nottingham which also has a great nightlife.

I think that the best part of the university is the availability of software and equipment, especially for my course since a lot of software and equipment are needed that could range from a price on hundreds to thousands. However, this could be improved because there are still some software and equipment that aren’t available yet or that aren’t the latest versions/models which could help on improving my coursework performance.

Best is for sure location and teaching. So central so have access to all the main parts of the city. Plus teaching standard is good, can feel it when comparing the same degree with other universities (always feel more well rounded). Worst is the campus and SU. Just feels small and lacks integration with the students. Feel like you attend classes in the city, not that you are part of a university
