Nursing: Specific Conditions postgraduate degrees in All England

Best aspects: The best thing about my university experience is definitely our professors, who come from all around the world. I’ve not only gained scientific knowledge but also learned so much about different cultures and communication styles. This has helped me improve my personal and professional skills. Another highlight is the library – the facilities for research and study are fantastic, and they’ve supported me a lot throughout my course. Worst aspects: The main challenge is that the university doesn’t have strong connections with pharmaceutical companies, which makes it difficult to secure internships through university links. On top of that, I’m still struggling to find a part-time job, and since there are no part-time opportunities on campus, it can sometimes be stressful to balance financial concerns with my studies. Having more career connections and part-time job opportunities on campus would really improve the overall experience.

NTU offers amazing facilities particularly for the animal science courses. Studying at Brackenhurst you get to explore beautiful grounds and historic architecture whilst provided with on hand experience with animals. Living on city campus you get to experience the classic uni life surrounded by independent clubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, etc. Moreover, the endless societies can take you to the national ice centre, the climbing gym or into the peak district.

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

The best is how the lectures are paced and supplemented with workshops. The lecturers and other staff feel very approachable. The worst I'd say is a key module is online which makes it hard to study and interact as your in your room with distractions and you can't easily ask lecturer questions without having to constantly check the chat. Time which could be used to take notes and focus on the lecture.

I love our uni. However, this year the study spaces have deteriorated in quality. This is mainly due to the library spaces being reduced in opening times. Exam season was already heaving with students in the Marjorie and Phil last year. This year we‘re going to see way less space availability and students will have to retaliate to studying at home which proves impossible for some. Also the fact that we cant eat our lunch in spoons is crazy. That needs readjusting

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.

Times have been tough for all students around the world with covid these days. I have moved to England initially to travel and be closer to family in Poland. Instead I have stranded myself away from family and friends on an island. All is well though because I am finding support networks at my uni and through meeting new friends. I really hope classes at school will continue next year, online teaching has not been the most exciting or engaging.
