The best aspect of my course is the placement experience and the growth and development that you undertake in your time at uni. It has helped me to grow as a person and as a soon to be health care professional. The course is a perfect challenge, not too hard, not too easy. The worst aspect is hard to say because my uni experience has definitely been impacted by COVID so therefore it would be unfair to reprimand the course for this world issue. Although challenging it has helped me to adapt and to be make light of difficult situations, focusing on the bright side of life.

The nature!! the beautiful walks by the river! the peace and quiet!

This is the best halls to stay in! one of the cheapest options and where all the best people are and the best pre-drinks happen! this is where you want to be!

The course is very hard in a lot of ways but there lecturers are very helpful and always happy to help no matter what. The facilities for simulation and the thought and detail put in to simulation activities such as Advanced Life Support days and different assessments are amazing. The course can be very time consuming so organisation is key. Placement is great within the ambulance trust and hospitals. The staff on placement are mostly very welcoming and caring.

As I am studying a postgraduate degree, I am working very independently and at my own pace. The laboratories at UEA are in desperate need of upgrading as my work is often stalled by faulty equipment or other issues in the building. Unfortunately it feels like most of the efforts are directed to the Undergraduate courses and the Postgraduate researchers are often overlooked.

Difficult to say with being a student throughout the entire pandemic. Lecturing team are great, very knowledgeable and will go to lengths to answer your questions. Lecture content is also good. E-learning packages made by tutors are a brilliant independent way to learn and revise. Significant lack of practical skills practice though - you are often shown something once, expected to do it first time, then unable to practice it again. Very little chance to revise practical skills before being required to do it on placement.

With much of my time being online due to the pandemic it has been difficult engaging in the learning to my best potential. However, engaging in small groups, having a 1:1 personal advisor and frequent well being support they have provided excellent resources to support well being and learning. Being mostly in person has provided me with the best opportunity for learning, socialisation with peers and contact with lecturers. Small group practicals have been so beneficial to apply the learning to cases for future practice. The course covers a wide variety of subjects working with different client groups. I feel so far I have learnt so much which I’m excited to put into practice. It is a full on course with lots of content and lectures but it is interactive and there is always peer and lecturer support. It is an amazing course at UEA!

The blended learning between online an din person is good. There is a considerable lack of student support from lectures due to them having so many students on their caseload

I loved going on placement - it really helped to put what I'd learnt in theory to practice, so having a 50/50 split has been brilliant. My course content is also really interesting, and I have enjoyed researching for my assignments. Currently being taught in person and online, but I'd prefer if all lectures were in person, as I feel I can engage more and not get distracted at home.

Norwich is a lovely place - it's small, but has a great variety of independent shops, vegan food places, and the cathedral is gorgeous to visit.

The view from my window of the lake is stunning. My room is big, and sharing a bathroom isn't that bad. My room stayed warm in the winter, but in the summer it's a bit of a greenhouse as the windows are so big!

Contacting lectures has become a difficult task with a lot of the staff being part time. And the other staff members being too busy to answer your emails

I love my course and have so far really enjoyed it. It is hard work and placements can be difficult but I have always felt supported by my personal advisor and any member of staff on the OT team.

This is the first cohort for this MSc in Dietetics, we are a very small group of students which is amazing as we get so much support and guidance in every step we need during our time at UEA
