Student review [#26465] for Business Management and Marketing
at Nottingham Trent University - NTU

NTU’s standard is very high. The school’s master’s programme is great and you will get incredible value for your money throughout your time there. The modules for my course for instance are fresh and meet industry realities. The tutors are versed in their subject area and invest great efforts in designing their lecture materials. So there is ample quality content to engage with. Since all the modules are workshop-based, you can say the programme is 100% hands-on. Some departments do not write exams, only business reports. This is the case for me. You have to be really committed because there’s no room for laziness at NTU unless you’re satisfied with mere a pass. Class contribution is a primary condition for passing some modules, so you have to study before each workshop to be able to meaningfully contribute during class discussions. As stated earlier the course materials are quality, well-researched and creatively prepared into PPT, but there are also case studies and some of them are like 31 pages long. They are often interesting if you read them but there’s hardly enough time to read all the materials before each workshop so here’s where you will need great time management and self-motivation skills. My only complaint about NTU will be about the modules not being spread out enough. So, you can finish a complex module within one month, with loads of materials to cover and a lengthy business report which you have to submit as the summative assessment. Then two days later, you’re starting another one, so this stresses some students. Besides this, NTU is a great place to study. In fact, from the first week, the school will give you the tools to map your personal development plan and you get graded for it. This is called the Professional Practice module. If I decide to pursue a PhD, I don’t think I can consider another school other than NTU.
