Student review [#42711] for Psychology
at Nottingham Trent University - NTU

I started at Nottingham Trent in 2019 – excited to embark on this new educational journey and make some life-long friends. Unbeknownst to me there would be a worldwide pandemic that would destroy thousands of lives and any dreams I had of having a normal degree. The COVID-19 lockdown impacted everyone’s mental health, especially university students. As my mental health started to deteriorate and I fell behind with lectures I began to worry that I wouldn’t make it to see my graduation day. My friend helped me reach out to my tutor and head of year about how bad I was doing. After this we managed to come up with a plan together as to how I would carry out the rest of the assessments that year, I was also offered 6 weeks of counselling sessions and every week I was called by the well-being centre at uni to check up on me. I remember talking to friends at other universities about the support I had received and I was shocked to find out that this same level of support wasn’t received everywhere. Due to the amazing mental health team and the help of my tutors I was able to graduate this year with a 2:1, I am so incredibly grateful still!
