University of Leicester

Geography BA (Hons)

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The environment is quiet and Leicester is good for shopping. I like the atmosphere, especially in the library.I also like the students union- there are lots of places for group discussions. I am quite satisfied with the accommodation. I live near the city centre which is really convenient.It's near Morrisons and the Tigers, so it's a good place. The uni has good facilities, comfortable sofas, delicious food and I get lots of help from The Point (located in the SU). My course puts on lots of extra lectures.

Museum Studies MA

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Leicester uni is very international. It has lots of students from different countries which gives you the chance to interact with people from different backgrounds. The lecturers are well experienced and they are very good speakers. We get visiting speakers from museums. The city has a shopping mall which is enough for student life! I like the location of my accommodation (Salinsbury house ) . The room is spacious and the price is good. The uni facilities are great. The library has a good collection of books and the careers centre is good for preparing students for their future career. The museum society has regular meetings and trips aboard. Also, prospective jobs are updated every week on-line, which is very helpful. If you want to come to this uni make sure you work hard and pay a visit before hand on one of the open days.

University of Leicester

Law (general) LLM

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The uni has lots of facilities for students. In my course there's not a lot of students so it's easier to learn. I live in Mary Gee, but it's too far from the uni. I live too far from the city so I don't really know much about it. The uni has lots of restaurants and the library is good. I think that some of the clubs and societies have really nice people and the presentation of the these societies have been done well. Generally, Leicester uni has a nice atmosphere.

University of Leicester

General Engineering (with Industry) - BEng (Hons)

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I would give the uni a 5 because I'm very satisfied with what I'm doing. The lectures have really clear information and the lecturers are very patient. I used to live in Beaumont and it wasn't really good. There was too much noise. I'm not very experienced with the city life, but it has a really diverse culture. Leicester's facilities are of a good quality and it is user friendly. The o2 academy is good. But I don't like the Attenborough building. The careers service is really helpful. I am enjoying my experience because of the vast amount of cultures.

French and Spanish BA (Hons)

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I study French and Spanish, and I think that the course is good. There's lots of student support and the library is great. The lecturers know what they are doing. I'm very satisfied with the course and I've only been dissatisfied with one lecturer. I am now in my 4th year, but for 1st year i lived in Beaumount. The showers didn't work sometimes. The City Life is scenic. There's lots to do, so i would say take advantage of it. I think the library is excellent! It caters for students and it suits how you study. The gym is good as well. The student Union looks good, and the careers department is amazing. They help you with your CV. Overall my experience has been good, and there is little to fault. I am Sad that it is coming to an end, but there's always masters! Make the most of uni and don't be afraid to use the resources, e.g. tutors and career service.

University of Nottingham

Business PhD

University rating (1)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR A PHD DEGREE TO NOTTINGHAN UNIVERSITY ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT. DESPITE YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL BEING GOOD AND MATCHING THEIR HIGH PRIORITY RESEARCH AREAS, THEY WILL NEVER OFFER YOU AN ADMISSION. MOREOVER, THE ACADEMIC STAFF ARE HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND HAVE NO INTEREST IN TAKING ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FOR PHD COURSES. THEY PREFER HOME STUDENTS. SO IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME IF YOU MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR A DOCTORAL DEGREE.

University of Sunderland

Pharmacy - MPharm (Hons)

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Studying pharmacy in University of Sunderland is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The greatest thing about it is that most lecturers are practising pharmacists and they are very professional, approachable and passionate about teaching! We are groomed to be very patient-focused as well as having great clinical and communication skills. Pharmacy labs and library facilities are fully equipped !!

University of Leicester

Mathematics BA (Hons)

University rating (3)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Leicester only gets a three because it's terrible for maths! During 1st year there was more contact hours, but 2nd year is very independent. To make matters even worse, the lecturers copy and past lecture notes from our text books. What are we paying for!? On the plus side, Beaumount (student accommodation) is really sociable and pretty. Generally,Leicester is okay for shopping. I'm part of the rowing society- it has a great social life. The student's union gets a 4 because it is big and busy. This is based on my personal tastes, but I think that the 'Eye Candy' is awful. There is none!. But the careers services are good. Leicester is not good for maths, but its is for biology. If you want to go to Leicester make sure you get the grades.

Mathematics BA (Hons)

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

I would recommend this uni to others because the lecturers are really helpful. The SU is fine, but the food is a bit expensive and sometimes it's difficult to find a seat. I'm part of the Hellenic/Cypriot society. I've been able to make lots friends and the society has lots of events. I think that we need more lecture materials, although the course is good. I live in Opal court which is fine,and it is definitely worth the money. The bedroom and kitchen size is good. I will admit that the City Life is fun, but if I were to compare it with my home country I would like more cafes. I think that they need to be open in the evening.

Criminology MSc

University rating (4)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

The facilities are good and they are better then my previous uni. I prefer the lectures more than Birmingham because they are strict I think the course is awesome and the lecturers are friendly- there is also good communication between students and lecturers. I live in the Scholar, and I like the freedom and personal space. It makes me feel relaxed. The city life is good, but I think that Birmingham is better. The library is amazing! Now, as a transfer student the SU has been useful. Some seminars discuss the opportunities that are available to us. This broadens the horizon for students.
