My course was taught with blended learning, and it was mostly an enjoyable experience. I was able to rewatch lectures for study materials. Had access to everything on my moodle page as well as access to a careers hub page. The course materials were always up to date, we were always learning new methods and expanding our knowledge base with lab sessions where we could ask for support from lecturers. We also had dedicated periods of support with lecturers with office hours. The course has many career prospects, and jobs are regularly advertised to students by the facility as well as there being jobs at the university that pay for my field. During my time at the university I was sent through job applications by the faculty and even engaged in a round of interviews. Though unsuccessful it gave me real-world experience of the application process for my field and I feel confident I have been given the tools to succeed in the real world with this degree. The facilities were excellent with access to development environments and licenced software. I feel that I was given a realistic expectation of what to expect in terms of my career options with the software stacks we learnt through our assignments and the expectations of us in terms of writing documentations and reports

What makes the town of Colchester great is it's beautiful nature, such as in Wivenhoe, and the various historic sights like Colchester Castle which is a tourist attraction, beautiful park - as well as one of several museums that can be found in the city. There are also quirky bars you can find around town which serve interesting craft beer, live events and even record players with hundreds of records to choose from for nights out where you can relax and meet all sorts of people. The people are friendly enough, and there's quiet a few bars, coffee shops and restaurant's and the Firstsite Museum which was named the art fund museum of the year in 2021. I enjoy the access to the cinema with several cinema options for students such as The university cinema, Odeon, Firstsite and the Curzon.

It's really interesting to learn about economics, and mathematics. The worst part is probably the difficulty of some of the material. At the same time this is the best part for me :)

The best aspect about my course is that the lecturers are very engaging and there is always help avaialable. The worst aspect is that lectures more than an hour become tedious.

Most - i liked the aesthetic Least - the doors to the flat can be opened by anyone if you push then hard enough

Good variety of Capatone projects, passionate and helpful researchers and lecturers. On my 3rd year 2 out of 3 modules are clashing, so I cannot normally attend classes and access all the information that is required to complete the course.

Biomedical science is an exciting and ever-changing field to study. students that study biomedical science courses have diverse career opportunities. Biomedical science courses provide practical skills development for real-world work environments. Graduates from biomedical science courses have strong job prospects. Worst aspects: Biomedical science courses can be challenging and require a deep understanding of complex scientific concepts and principles. Biomedical science courses have a heavy workload that can be overwhelming for some students. Biomedical science courses can have limited opportunities for one-on-one time with lecturers. Biomedical science courses can be expensive due to the resources required.

my absolute favourite part of uni from the bathroom to the quality of the mattress even the shower press and the temperature of the room

The university of essex is well situated in a place that is very accessible, and the mode, ways if teachings are fine by me

Within my course, I think it would be beneficial to have more classes and more interactive/group work as well as more guidance when it comes to answering exam style questions.

I love thé size of my room and the facilities provided.No complaints.

I don’t really have contact with my personal tutor however I really enjoy the lectures and the support from class teachers on upcoming deadlines

It’s too small, I am in a flat of 6 and we hardly speak this maybe because there is no communal living area and just stools in the kitchen with no real table or any sense of socialising. Some things in the kitchen could be more modern I enjoy the size of my room and the location it is in as it is very close to most of my lectures

The labs are very good, but my lecturers aren’t the best.

Very good maintenance people, some rooms and kitchens are a little shabby

More face to face classes than online.

For repair and maintenance, workers should not be allowed to get into flats in students' absence.
