Liked coming in 1/2 times a week, as reaching in person I find a lot better than online.

My course in particular has had very very little contact time, this isnt something that ive minded as I like to work independently, but for my 2nd and 3rd year, I have had 6 contact hours a week, 6 hours a week for over £9,000

The town is brilliant, great diversity of all walks of people. In general it very safe I havent had any issues in my time here

Was put in a very anti-social hall when i clearly specified i wanted a social hall, as a result non of my flat liked me so was ostracising for me. Accommodation itself was brilliant though, kept very clean and safe at all times.

Worst - pebble pad

There aren’t many engineering related facilities compared to what I’ve seen at other universities

Norwich is quite a small city but it’s peaceful and very safe usually

The kitchen was small for 12 of us and we had no living room so our only shared room was the kitchen which had a small bench and 4 plastic chairs with 2 wooden tables pushed together

Course is divided on two parts - first taught semester and second research one. Second is good, you just doing the research you prefer with chosen supervisor. The first semester is quite scarse in material as for me. I'd prefer more lectures, more detailed talks on every group of natural products, discussions on latest discoveries and more practicals. There are 3 modules with pretty much practicals, but they could be organised tightly and few more of them introduced, e.g. snake milking, tissue culture growing, etc. Also, detailed workshops on how to use analytical equipment (e.g. NMR) are preferable to be compulsory. In general, good practical side, but more learning activities needed.

The lack of recognition for the course and role

Great location

I think the range of the course is really good and the different modules that you can take are very compelling. However, in the first term I think that the performances should have been more text based.

I love the city but the transportation can be unreliable.

I think my university accommodation misses out on a lot of basics that the other rooms which you have to pay £30 more per week for have.

Online learning :(

-law buildings are at the far end of campus -feels like you don’t get enough contact time with lecturers and seminar leaders -great job prospects and lots of info on opportunities within the uni and the community

The tutors are great, they are clear and accurate with what is being taught. Always an email away if you need help. Now alot on learning is getting back to face to face it is alot better. But the online learning was as good as it can be apart from when we had to use break out rooms as they never seemed to work well or people were not engaging. The lectures are a good length and are planned well, it would be nice to not have as many breaks between sometimes. Sometimes there is mixed communication across a cohort where one class is told one thing and another class is told another but it usually resolves itself.

The university is located so it can be accessed by most modes of transport, but the buses do not always arrive on time. The park and ride is great for drivers. The car park is very expensive and not worth paying for. Norwich itself is a short bus ride or around an hours walk away is a lovely city with alot of history and great deals and activities for university students.
