University of Leicester

Criminology MSc

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

Leicester uni has given me more support than my undergraduate uni. It has better resources and better facilities. The lectures cover relevant content. But, the lecturers can come across as stuck up and they have less time to spend on students because of their research. The course is good and I'm doing a placement. It is the only uni that has placements for criminology! I find this helpful. The city is good, but it could be better. The uni offers good jobs, as well.

University of Leicester

Law (general) LLM

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

Although Uni is supposed to be independent, they give you support. The teaching quality is good and I have benefited from the facilities. For my course, the lecturers record some of the lectures and the tutorials provide you with extra help. The department gives you relevant books. They provide in depth information about the course and the lecturers research their topics very well. The accommodation is nice and there are lots of people from different countries. This allows you to share each other cultures. One positive thing about the city life is that the train station is close to the uni. This enables you get to places quickly. Also, everything is close to each other. I use the library and I like that they allow you to use the library's net-books. You can also hire a locker, which is useful. But, the key must be returned on time, or you will be charged £5.00, This motivates me to wake up early to return the key! The Law society has opportunities which can get you involved in things that are relevant to your career. It is valuable for your CV and it allows you to gain skills. The SU is a good place to chill when you want to move away from other facilities. Plus, I use the development centre every time. It's helpful! They give you great feedback. The Mock assessments help prepare you for the actual thing.

Nottingham Trent University

Wildlife Conservation BSc (Hons)

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

Don't be put off by the uni's position in the league tables, this university is new by university standards. Having access to all three campuses whenever you want is excellent, with a huge variety of places to visit. My campus, Brackenhurst, is a beautiful site with a large variety of wildlife. Everyone at uni has been really friendly and the lecturers are really supportive. There is good transport to Nottingham and Newark and the nearby town of Southwell is fantastic! The facilities have also been fantastic and Brackenhurst was recently on the BBC television show, Garden Revival which was pretty awesome! There has been a great variety of lectures and there's something everybody will enjoy.

University of Leicester

Mathematics BA (Hons)

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

Overall, I think that the University is good for my course, but it is better for other subjects. A large majority of the Maths lecturers are foreign which makes it difficult for me to understand the lectures. On a number of occasions, I have had to watch videos from other universities. Facilities in the uni, such as the gym and library, are good. I have joined a few societies, and generally they are really good. It has been a good way for me to make lots of friends. But, the student's union is not the best. The careers service is really good, because they send lots of emails. If you are thinking of studying at Leicester just make sure that you really want to study the course.

Brackenhurst Campus is amazing place with really friendly atmosphere. Southwell is a lovely town with cafes,pubs, co-op and a Boots. The new library is a great place to study with great resources and friendly librarians. The lecturers are really supportive and happy to help with anything whether academic or otherwise.

Nottingham Trent University

Wildlife Conservation BSc (Hons)

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

My time at Nottingham Trent has been overall, a wonderful experience. Brackenhurst campus is ideally situated for my course, in the middle of the countryside with plenty of protected species around to study. The relatively small number of students on campus makes for a great sense of community which adds to the overall experience. The course itself is varied and interesting. The only downside was the lack of practical experiences which I believe the uni has since attempted to rectify. Socially, as I'm not a huge party animal, the numerous pubs in Southwell have been perfect and provided a chill atmosphere to relax. However, for others who prefer more active nights out, there are plenty of opportunities in Nottingham.

Equine Sports Science BSc (Hons)

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

My experience at uni didn't start off very good as I was told I wouldn't be able to ride but they soon sorted this out and I was allowed to ride for the duration of the equitation module. They were very quick at sorting this out for me. Since then I have had a fantastic experience and have attended study tours to Ireland and taken a industrial placement. I am currently in my final year doing my dissertation and have received a lot of support when I have needed it.

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

Business Management - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

QMU is located only five minutes by train from the city center of Edinburgh. Accomodation is perfect and my room very spacey, although the price is totally more thank expensive. Gym is equiped very well and despite the fact that the students' union is small, it is very firendly and welcoming.

Sometimes the organisation on my course is a tad poor. Lecturers and tutors extremely passionate about their subject areas. Good feedback on practical work. Reasonably good facilities. Good open-plan brand new campus, so everything is more accessible to the average student

Newcastle University

Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng (Hons)

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

It is one of the best universities in UK. Currently, I am a third year student studying engineering and I am also planning to do my masters from Newcastle, as it is strongly recommended for engineering. What I learnt and experienced at Newcastle wouldnt have been possible in other low ranked universities. Also, the Newcastle Work Experience ( NWE ) has helped to boost my confidence.
