Being able to learn from lectures who have been in practice has help to bring to life a lot of the theory content. Learning online was difficult, trying to stay focused and being comfortable to talk online was difficult for me. The dynamics of conversations in the classroom is so different, I learn so much more.

A great blend of online and face to face. Feedback on the course and teaching is taken seriously and implemented straight away so the studying can be molded to you personally. Lecturers are always available to help and very knowledgeable in their topics

I am ok brackenhusrt campus, in a lovely town called Southwell. The location is really nice, in beautiful countrysides with some nice pubs to go to. It can be a bit expensive to live here, but there is a lot of part time jobs available

Halls a nice, kitchen is really big and we'll equiped and every room as it's own bathroom for privacy. It's not always easy to get maintenance to fix things and the washing machines aren't great

My course is taught part on campus, part online which has been quite difficult, however tutors and lecturers has made this smoother. Lectures being recorded has been extremely helpful during these unprecedented times and NTU have asked for continuous feedback on teaching and content, changing these along the way to suit the cohort's most preferred options. The main thing I like about NTU is their ability to listen and adapt. I know that some universities have everything set in stone and won't consider altering their ways, so it is very refreshing to find a university that does.

The lectures are great at supporting you through out your learning

Like the way we are being taught but wish there were more 1 to 1 sessions with tutors

The History course is based at the Clifton campus though there isn't a specific history building as such (most of my classes are in different buildings!). As a second year, I tend to have about 8 hours of classes per week that are mostly taught in person. My classes this academic year have been timetabled between 9 am and 6 pm - which isn't particularly much fun as a commuter student, especially in the winter months! The modules are really interesting though we tend to cover similar topics and time periods each year, I definitely would have liked to have seen a wider range in time periods (e.g. ancient history, 21st-century history). In the first year, there isn't any choice over what modules to take, though you can pick from a small selection of modules to take in the second and third years alongside compulsory modules. There is an opportunity to do a work placement in any industry during the second year 'History in the Workplace' module (which is compulsory) though there was lots of support from the course staff and employability team in organising this. There is also a 'Real-Life Work Project' available as a module to pick for the third year. Alternatively, there are plenty of paid and voluntary work available through the university and SU which can be done alongside the course. There aren't set textbooks to buy on the course and any that are needed are available in the library or on the online workspace. There are plenty of opportunities to contact lecturers throughout the week during office hours, in class, via email/Teams, etc. I really haven't got a bad thing to say about the course staff, the lecturers make the course content interesting and engaging, they are all really supportive and seem to be happy to help where they can.

Best is the way of teaching itself, I love it. Worst is that I would like to have a Biology course in itself, that mixes environment and biomedical sciences instead of having to choose one

The place its too far from where I live

The best would be that is very cheap and its more than okay for the proce you pay. The worst would be the location, which is too far from campus and also far from the city centre

Overall very good

Lecturers at NTU are not very good teachers and have communication problems. Even though technically they are good they can not communicate properly.

The cost of living is very high and its hard to find cheap accommodation
