Economic Policy postgraduate degrees in East Midlands

Best aspects: The University of Leicester offers a supportive and inclusive environment that really helps students thrive. The lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the small class sizes make it easier to engage in discussions and get personalised feedback. The campus is well-equipped, with excellent library resources, study spaces, and modern facilities that make learning comfortable and accessible. There’s also a strong sense of community, with societies and events that help students feel connected and develop both academically and socially. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: Some aspects could be improved, such as streamlining administrative processes like module registration or access to certain student services, which can sometimes be slow or confusing. Additionally, while the campus has great facilities, certain areas like student accommodation or social spaces could benefit from more modernisation or expansion to meet the growing student population. Enhancing mental health support and making sure all services are easy to access online would also make the student experience even better.

The campus at the University of Nottingham is a beautiful place to be able to complete my studies. It has a welcoming and homely feeling. Facilities such as the David Ross Sports Centre and both libraries make it easy for me to complete extra activities such as netball and going to the gym, along with great places to study. Improvements involving the student union could be made, as I found it difficult to find out information about this. However, I couldn’t fault any other aspect of the University.

The worse aspects is to do with the cost. The food and drinks on campus are so expensive, for example a meal deal is between £6-7 so most of us go to co op to get a meal deal for £4 which is usually better quality. As well as this, this uni pushes supporting mental well being but the gym isn’t free for students when it used to be in previous years. It’s a lovely uni that does promote the student but in the same respect isn’t student friendly.
