I like that we have all Development based lessons in person and most of the lectures themselves are in a classroom based environment

The academic is difficult

The lecturers are great at Norland and super on it all the time ! The course is full on but manageable and this is made through the support of the staff and the college

W eleven so many practical skills that set us up for a career in childcare, and I am glad for the fact that it isn’t all nanny specific, as I love nannying but know it won’t be a lifelong career for me, I can use my degree for other things like nursery management. The Placement are amazing, we have a few each year and are given so much experience. The lecturers are all really smart, and want us to succeed. They will try their best to help even out of lecture times if you needed extra support with an assignment or some of the contact etc. I particularly like how after we graduate we have access to the Norland agency, meaning I have a very high chance of getting a job after as nannies are very sought after. My course has tried to be as much as possible in person, even after the first lockdown when I started in September 2020 it was blended, so we had full days of lectures still and practical lessons in person. We have full days, with our lectures 9-4:30 Monday-Thursday with occasional guest speakers on a friday that link to our modules.

Lots of nightlife although I don’t go out, big park for picnics in the summer, city centre with primark etc, and an apple store, as it is bath the parking is horrendous, however finding a student house with parking isn’t an issue and I have managed to find spaces close to college when I drive in

The course is taught mostly in-class with one lesson a week online for an hour. I love this approach as it means I can ask questions there and then to make things a lot clearer. I do wish our library hours were extended slightly like other universities.

I adore my course, the lecturers are so helpful and supportive and I’ve never had a problem with contacting them.

Bath is a beautiful city, with so much to do and so many opportunities with jobs and social life. I feel very safe in Bath, however it is not the most diverse city.

Great support from lecturers for coursework

Not very diverse Transport can be frustrating

Balance of lectures and placements is really good!

You learn so much at Norland. The staff are all knowledgeable and are passionate about childcare. There is a good balance between academic assignments and practical placements

Norland is a university like no other. It provides high quality training, equipping us with a range of practical skills and academic knowledge we can apply to our practice. The amount of practical experience we receive is incredible and sets us up for the world of work. The lecturers and other staff members are always there to support us.
