Translation postgraduate degrees in South East England

As an online student at the University of Portsmouth, I found the flexibility of the digital platform to be one of the biggest advantages. The ability to access lectures and resources on your own schedule made balancing studies with work and personal commitments much easier. The virtual learning environment was user-friendly, and the dedicated support staff helped resolve any technical issues promptly, contributing to a seamless learning experience. However, the online format also had its challenges. One of the most significant downsides was the reduced opportunity for face-to-face interaction, which made networking and building a community with peers a bit more difficult. Additionally, while the digital resources were comprehensive, there were occasional delays in receiving feedback or accessing certain materials compared to traditional classroom settings. Overall, my online experience at Portsmouth was highly rewarding, with the flexibility and accessibility being standout features. Addressing the challenges of community engagement and streamlining feedback processes could further enhance the online learning experience.

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

Best: - I love living on campus and seeing all the people I am fiends with every day. It feels a bit like a cartoon where the character says hello to everyone every morning. I just love that community feeling. - I love my classes and how they are taught. - I love how supportive and challenging my teachers are by encouraging to look at alternative views and their feedback is so helpful. Worst: - People in accommodations can be very difficult as they tend to be rude and noise is a problem. - I don't like how much building work there is on campus. I understand it needs to be done but I feel like a lot of the work that gets done in my accommodation is unnecessary like the changing of lightbulbs to make the corridor darker or the painting of door frames.

I’m enjoying very much the whole experience of university. Even though this year has been quite different from what we are used to, the university that I attend has done everything to try to make as normal as possible. I believe this three years are going to be one of the best of my life.

We are in our own medic bubble and have our own bubble, events and societies. But it's too segregated from the other two universities, and can be just medicine centred the whole time which can be overwhelming at times.
