Really nice subject, learned a lot

Could have better common areas

I like the range of ideas on the course, however I feel giving us a lot of modules due at the same time alongside exams is overwhelming and could be spread out better

I love the location being close to the centre and my lecture building, however my internet is slow and I haven’t used it for a few weeks because I can’t use my phone on it.

As it is such a broad course there are always going to be aspects that you like and don't like. I very much enjoy the hands-on aspect like when we make our own podcasts and film things however, I don't like a couple of modules that seem repetitive such as learning about the importance of the creative arts where each lecture feels very random and unrelated to the last. Film history I found a bit boring at first, however, it was interesting at times and I definitely learnt new things that I'd class as fun facts on the origins of cinema.

Big rooms, nice shower, very clean. Access to microwaves, kettles, vacuums, brooms and more.Nearby is a small shop as well for any bits and bobs you might have forgotten at the shop as well as a smaller gym which is convenient for when you don't want to travel to the big one or would prefer a quieter environment.It is classed as the 'quiet' accommodation, however, everyone I've spoken to has been extremely friendly and a big handful are now some of my best friends. Most of us chose this accommodation not because of it being quieter but because of the quality seeming much better than the other accommodation. Another pro is a small study space and easy access to the washer's as well as maintenance acting fast and within a day or two whenever something is reported. Some downsides include how far away it feels from the rest of the university, although it is a very walkable city all of the clubs/sports and volunteering opportunities are at the other accommodation as well as them having a bar that has darts and pool and karaoke making it a long walk back after a visit. Everyone complains about the size of the hill to get up to the accommodation as well but that's just something you have to get over I think. it is an expensive accommodation but you definitely get your moneys worth and can switch accommodation at any point.

Studying journalism at Nottingham Trent University is engaging because of the mix of in-person and blended learning, along with practical sessions like writing and media production. Lecturers are supportive and approachable, often bringing real industry experience. The course is well-structured, with a good balance between taught sessions and independent study.

There’s a lot of face-to-face learning which is good, I don’t think contact with lecturers is amazing however.

Nothing to fault with my accommodation, it is very modern and lots of amenities with an ensuite and also gym facilities.

The lessons are recorded, which is helpful when I forget or need to be reminded of something. The tutors always do their best to respond to my questions and/or emails as quickly and specific as possible. The course information on the university website needs to be updated since there has been some changes to the modules this year.

The manager and halls staff are really friendly and nice to talk to. The activities and events set up at the halls are varied in choice, so there are no limitations in terms of activity choices. The rent payments are made through instalments that can be paid either weekly or once every few months, which are reasonable options. The building is not very soundproof, so I can hear noise both inside and outside of the building, even during nights when I need plenty of sleep for my early morning lessons.

Very hands on lots of encouragement to get out and do it

The facilities for my course are fantastic

The ensuite is small but so am I so it's fine.

My lecturers are really nice

Actually really good

nothing much to comment on due to the variety of different ways the lecturers teach in.
