Globalisation postgraduate degrees in South East England

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

The staff as well as the students create a great environment that is supportive, safe and nurturing. The subjects taught are very relevant to the modern world. I appreciate that there’s class only 2 times a week, it frees us to do a lot of other activities. The location of the university is great for both bus and train travel. However I feel a sense of paranoia as I feel like I’m having more fun and free time than I should. It would be great if I could have more work to do during the week that’s related to academics. Just from comparing the schedules with other universities like Surrey Business School, where they have block classes for 2 weeks and then a short break for them to do assessments. They had assessments due in the 3rd week itself whereas it was after 2 months for us. Another thing I wanted to address was the points system in the refectory, 10 points is simply not enough for 3 full meals a day. I would suggest a change in the value of points or maybe have 14-15 points a day and maybe more during the weekends.
