Science postgraduate degrees in East Midlands

Best aspects: Good location towards city centre, quality food, many diverse and organized events for me to choose, different useful facilities and student support services Worst aspects: Lack of advertising in student support services

My university experience had its highs and lows. The best part was the supportive academic environment, with passionate lecturers and plenty of resources like well-equipped libraries and study spaces. The vibrant campus life, with diverse clubs and events, made it a great place to meet people and grow personally. However, there were some downsides, like the high cost of living and occasional administrative delays, which could be frustrating. Improving affordability and streamlining student support services would make the experience even better overall.

This has been a wonderful university experience for me. I've heard that this university is highly effective for both students and teachers, and I truly feel that I have benefited greatly from my time here. After nearly ten months of study, I have gained valuable experience and genuinely appreciate the supportive environment. I am very happy to be part of this university community, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this caring culture. Thank you to my university for giving me this chance to grow and learn in such a warm and welcoming place.

Best - so much engagement, I love how accessible sport is but there’s also so much going on! The student newsletters are useful and they update ongoing events on social media frequently. There’s lots of study spaces around campus as well!

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

best aspect is that it is a small and friendly campus where places are easy to find the library is a good resource however it could be more helpful for it to stay open later as people like to study later in the evening

The library resources are great. I am based in the campus where there is no library but whatever book I'm looking for can be requested and sent to the campus your in and placed in a locker- Similar to Amazon lockers. Some of the faculties at my campus aren't the best, e.g. there are only 2 working microwaves in the building for students, so you can be in the queue for the microwave for ages.

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.
