What students say about government-and-politics

One of the best aspects of studying at De Montfort University is the supportive and diverse environment. As an international student, I feel welcomed and included. The university has strong student support services, especially the Disability Advice and Support team, who are understanding and helpful. The MSc Project Management course is practical and career-focused. The modules are well-structured, and seminars encourage discussion and real-life application of concepts. The lecturers are approachable and provide useful feedback on assignments. Student life in Leicester is also a positive experience. The city is affordable compared to other UK cities, and everything is accessible. The campus facilities, including the library and study spaces, are modern and comfortable for independent learning. While the university offers good support, sometimes communication about attendance expectations and academic requirements could be clearer, especially for students managing health or personal challenges. In addition, more flexibility in seminar attendance for students with documented disabilities could make the experience less stressful. Providing recorded seminar discussions (where possible) would help students who occasionally cannot attend in person. Overall, De Montfort University is a supportive and career-oriented institution, but improving flexibility and communication would make it even better.

What students say about government-and-politics

I have overall enjoyed my experience at this university. I have made some close friends on my course that I enjoy studying with as well as doing things outside of university. They also have an amazing range of societies with a society for just about anything you can imagine. It would be difficult to not find at least one society you would enjoy being a part of. Doing a subject like law, I think it is important to have things to do outside of academics. However, one thing that I think could be improved is one or two seminar leaders are not super helpful when it comes to explaining how the exams work or what the examiners will be looking for. Yes, they teach us the content, but that is not always good enough.

What students say about government-and-politics

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.

The University Experience was Good for me when I compare to own Country (India) Whereas the Students and Faculties in the University are well Mannered and Giving respect to each other and the Teaching is also good . The University is conducting many Events for the International students to get a Cultural connection with other peoples and this helps a Lot to get to know about the various cultures around the World

University of Derby has great engaging lecturers & Staff for good academic work, it also has programs & activities that encourage entrepreneurship and is very intentional about helping/assisting & providing students with resources for post academic success around getting Jobs. The school is also close to the City Centre & in proximity to several social & entertainment options that afford students choices. there are several initiatives underway at the school to improve quality of an already cool studying environment, i think the school will spring up many surprises positively as they grow

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well

The facilities are awesome, particularly if you love getting involved in sport. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is the room booking system for societies is occasionally frustrating, though they are in the midst of reworking it now. Very good, can highly recommend coming here.
