The library is open 24/7 and they have facilities there to meet people to help you with literature and writing skills as well as workshops for this and help with careers choices

My course offers a lot of interesting content, there is just a lot to take in. Each year there are new modules so you get to learn different and fascinating things which is great when you really care about the course you’re taking. I don’t know too much about work placements and internships because I am not doing one but I know friends that are and I know that they have found something good thanks to this uni. There are many facilities for every subject whether it’s a studio workshop for architecture or a computer room for your statistic module, this university caters to every subject and their needs. The lecturers are good and so is the teaching quality. However, sometimes a few people struggle to comprehend what is being said as a few lecturers may talk a little fast so you have to try and keep up and make sure you’re listening. The only issue I personally had as well as a few others in my year was how difficult it was learning online but that was because lockdown still had restrictions in place and this was in no way the university’s fault as they were trying to protect us. Nottingham Trent University constantly tell us in our courses what careers we can potentially get with our degree and they also timetable employability lectures to help with this so that we are all made aware of our choices. Within your first year you have weekly tutorials where you can speak to your tutor about anything and they provide tips to help you with university whether it’s academic or social. Second year the tutorials are reduced to every two weeks but that doesn’t mean you can’t speak to your tutor whenever you need to. My year 1 tutor was very helpful and he instantly noticed that I was going through a lot and he referred me to someone who could help and I’m very grateful for that.

The location was great, it was only about a 10 minute walk to the city campus which was where I was studying. There was a few shops like Tesco nearby so you could walk to get food or a takeaway if you fancied it. If you walked a bit further there was a retail park which was quite good and there was even a gym you could go to. However, there were a few places not too far from this where it was deemed as a little unsafe but I personally did not have any problems when living in these halls. Furthering on with safety, these halls had a big green metal door at the entrance which you had to have a fob to get into so no random people could enter unless you let them. Additionally even if the door was open during the day, you’d have reception sitting directly across from it so they would know who’s entering and leaving which helped people feel safer. I absolutely loved my room. Personally out of all three places I’ve lived in I think it’s my favourite. Yes it wasn’t the biggest but it had everything I needed, a window, a 3/4 bed, a wardrobe and a desk but I just loved the layout and that you can make it your own when you decorate it with lights and pictures. I was allocated a room with the best people next door, my flatmates were so lovely that I still live with most of them now and I am in constant contact with the rest. My first year living space was great and I am very thankful to Nottingham Square for a good experience. My kitchen was a really good size and there was enough space for us to socialise and play games and cook. Additionally, despite being restricted in public because of lockdown, by having a protected courtyard within these halls, we were able to become good friends with a lot of people in the accommodation and that is something that I never thought would happen and now thanks to that I have some of the best memories I’ve ever had. The wifi was great, much better than I get now I’m in a new place, it took me a little while to figure out how to connect my console to it but the information pack explains it all and it was really fast. The value for money was even better. For students that cannot afford expensive places like me, these halls were only £110 a week with bills included and I had no issues there at all. Heating worked, hot water worked, wifi was great, and so was everything else, I really enjoyed living there. The management was good, they let you know about important things such as flat inspections. They tried to get you involved by doing quizzes and competitions. They were overall just lovely, especially one lady that I saw the most, she was just so helpful and really cared about things and was just so easy to chat to. They also collect all your parcels and keep them safe so you don’t have to worry about them not arriving and they would email you to let you know that you have received one. I am very happy that I chose Nottingham Square and that is where I have made my bestest friends.

Overall, the course I'm studying at NTU is very good, with a great mixture of real-world relevance and, of course, academic theory. I think it is highly important to maintain a level of relevancy in relation to the real world when it comes to what you are taught as it helps to maintain engagement throughout the course.

Byron Residence is known for being one of the best student halls in Nottingham, and it certainly lived up to its reputation during my stay! Right in the city centre, it couldn't be in a better location, with easy access to the Business School and the Student's Union. The rooms are very practical, with en suites, plenty of storage, and a safe, secure, automatically locking door. The kitchen was very large and spacious, allowing for plenty of people to be in there at any one time. Overall, I would highly recommend Byron to any new NTU students.

The course really help with getting you a work placement and that's what sets it apart from other course. The lecturers in final year are great and always willing to help. I feel I have learned alot about careers and where I want to go moving forward. Your final grade all depends on final year and it would be nice to have a percentage that was taken from second year.

I loved gill street south. It was such a fun halls where you can meet lots of people. It was soo close to uni which was great. Thankfully I had an unconditional so could sign up to the halls early but unfortunately some people are not in the same position so I think they are released to early.

This course has an intensive 5 days in a classroom and then 4 weeks spare to research and complete the assessment given for that module. Personally, I really like this structure. It allows for full focus on the assessment and each module entirely. The classroom style is great for discussions, questions, involvement and solo/group work. Through this you really get to know the other students and make friends that will probably be going into similar career fields (great for later life). There is no opportunity for work placements, etc. during the course, however, the employment team visits and explains the opportunities available and are a great resource to use in everything they have to offer and can help with careers. The tutors are select you and are there for your use when needed. The course so far has been mostly focused on UK policing (however, I have only completed the first two modules) and hopefully will expand more on international law. There have been guest speakers in each module which has been a great aspect of the modules to discuss their work and opportunities. My undergrad was in agriculture, so it’s not a Masters that needs to have a similar undergrad (although it may help), there is lots of support from lecturers and fellow students through the coursework to allow you to obtain a good understanding. Overall, the course so far has been great and if it’s an area you are interested in, it’s probably the right one for you.

Interesting modules Not much career prospects

The course is well structured but I don’t feel like I have learned a lot from it. The lecturers are good and get you thinking but theirs is a lack of communication between departments leading to conflicts. The careers department doesn’t really help that much. They did help a little bit with placements but not enough and I had to find my own placement.

Really nice accommodation 5 mins away from uni. Rooms are big with lots of storage, the en-suite is very useful especially for first years.

Lots of industry contacts which helps boost employability and career fairs are particularly useful. Information/ content taught is very interesting and useful for future careers. Certain modules are not organised well which is causing some difficulty within coursework. Wider range of future careers could be spoken about rather than the just surveying.

Lecturers are enthusiastic and the majority of content on the course is interesting and applied to real life. The online videos are useful but less inspiring and usually need a lot more motivation in order to do them. Lecturers are quite open and are always willing to offer their advice or speak to you about careers and how your work is going.
