What students say about criminology

Amazing overall experience but with a few caveats. Not enough support for placement students especially if they have trouble while on placement. Not enough dedication is given to the welfare and diversity/EDI sector, constantly feels like students are fighting to keep it going and the uni/union is ready to shut services down whenever possible.

What students say about criminology

Northampton university is amazing when it comes to inclusiveness. I feel like I am being supported in the ways I need to be. This is complemented by how amazing the lecturers are and how they make every class fun and interesting. However there are several flaws. The lack of student study spaces that are quite and actually available is hard to come by there is also tbe issue of not having wifi that reaches all the classrooms. Most of the week I am out of wifi range so am unable to use the resources I need to study on campus.

What students say about criminology

The university offers great financial and mental health support. It has course reps to keep on enhancing the quality of student life, as a course I am able to communicate in meetings of problems (if any) around my course. The university keeps me well informed about anything happening at university which makes me feel like I’m part of DMU. The personal tutors make sure that they are accessible to their students. In terms of how it could be improved would be the lecture halls, to make them look more motivating.

What students say about criminology

The campus is easy access, even for someone who isn’t living in student accommodation on campus. Every member of staff and member of the student union that I’ve spoken to has been extremely helpful and has helped to clarify any issues that I’ve been having. The university of Leicester is a challenging, yet exciting institution to study at.

What students say about criminology

I’m really enjoying my time at NTU! The academic environment is fantastic—lecturers are passionate about their subjects, and the courses are engaging and well-structured. There’s plenty of support available, whether it’s academic help, career advice, or mental health services. The social side is also a huge plus! There are so many societies, sports teams, and events that make it easy to meet new people and get involved. The campus itself is a great place to study, with modern facilities, good libraries, and plenty of study spaces.

What students say about criminology

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.

What students say about criminology

Campus is close to such beautiful places and countryside towns such as matlock so there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the countryside scenery. Campus is also located in the city centre so lots of things to do, places to shop and also clubbing! Plenty of societies and social opportunities provided so easy to make friends and meet new people. Only critique is student halls and accommodation could do with a refurb and update however private accommodations in derby are a good alternative.
