Energy Economics, Management and Conservation postgraduate degrees in Central England

The University of Nottingham has offered me endless opportunities in order to improve my degree-specific skills, as well as employability. The student experience at Nottingham is very vibrant and there’s so much to get involved in. I think that one thing which could be improved is the advertisement of skill-enhancing sessions, workshops, etc.

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

I only just got here a week ago but everything is so great, and as an exchange student i really feel at home. I maybe only wish that there was more events for Erasmus students only so that we can meet each other!

Being on a campus university gives you the comfort of being close to any support you may need and reduces the overwhelming feeling of moving to a new town for university. You are less than a 10 minute walk from anything you could possible need, such as food shops, a gym, a coffee shop etc. Huge modern library with quiet places or sociable places o make studying that bit more enjoyable. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time there and am missing the university life whilst on my year in industry.

It is overall a good Uni with lots of well funded resources and opportunities. To improve it would need to put a greater store in supporting its ND students and taking a more student centric view of its curriculum. It currently has a do or die survival of the fittest approach rather than building a framework for success and guiding students to prosper.

I come from Madagascar, an island located in the Southern African region in the Indian Ocean. In my country, English is the third language, with French as the second, and Malagasy as our local official language. Additionally, Madagascar is one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world. I earned my Master's degree in Theology from our national theological faculty before pursuing a second Master's level course at the Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide (CCCW). I am deeply grateful and honored to have been admitted here, and I extend my thanks to the CCCW Board for this opportunity. My journey at CCCW has been marked by several meaningful experiences: Despite my background, I have never felt excluded. I am welcomed as part of the community, and my classmates are genuinely understanding and supportive. English proficiency is required for students from countries where English is not the first language. I am deeply thankful to my professors and classmates for their patience, as they recognize both my efforts and my progress in achieving academic-level English. I have never felt judged, and I am committed to improving daily. Lastly, the support, guidance, and attention from the professors have been invaluable. I truly admire their dedication and the advice they offer as they assist us throughout our studies.
