What students say about software-development

Clifton has a solid, tight-knit student village feel compared to the city. It’s got everything you need on one site: great sports facilities, a massive SU, and a much more chilled, green vibe while still being a quick bus ride from the Nottingham madness. It feels like its own little world where you actually know everyone you walk past

What students say about software-development

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 software-development

The campus at the University of Nottingham is a beautiful place to be able to complete my studies. It has a welcoming and homely feeling. Facilities such as the David Ross Sports Centre and both libraries make it easy for me to complete extra activities such as netball and going to the gym, along with great places to study. Improvements involving the student union could be made, as I found it difficult to find out information about this. However, I couldn’t fault any other aspect of the University.

What students say about software-development

The university atmosphere and staff library, reception and the tutor are the excellent resources available to students, fostering an environment where academic growth and personal development can thrive. With dedicated mentors and innovative programs, learners are supported every step of the way. Although, making friends is quite difficult for me, it could be because my asian appearance, the students tends to just make all black groups and also white in the different groups. This separation can be challenging, but I am determined to find my place and connect with others who share similar interests and values. Engaging in campus activities and reaching out to diverse organizations may help bridge these gaps and foster meaningful relationships. I do not expect to be friends outside university , but I hope to create a supportive network within this environment. By actively participating and being open to new experiences, I believe I can cultivate friendships that enrich my university life.

What students say about software-development

Location is great with parks, cafes, restaurants, pubs, as well as bus routes and easy train access to London/Birmingham. The campus is always clean and tidy, lots of seating/places to study with accommodation for students with additional needs. I'm concerned about funding issues as teaching staff face layoffs, especially in creative courses.
