I would say that the quality of teaching at this university is positive and that this university provides services which are useful and beneficial to the wider student community, such as the Careers and Employability Service for instance. The university community is very cohesive, bringing in students from all walks of life and promoting an enriched academic community. The facilities on University Park campus are maintained excellently and I use them frequently (libraries, food outlets, self-study areas and so forth). The range of societies is very broad and there is something to suit every interest. However, an element that I do feel is overlooked at UoN is social fragmentation from the disparity of wealth between students; whilst this is more of a broader societal factor, in my personal experience, there is an assumed financial freedom to take part in many university activities which some students do not have. Aside from this, my experience of my course has been positive in terms of teaching and my personal engagement with the content, but there is not a community feel within the course itself compared to my relations with the wider university community. Despite this, I enjoy the campus environment itself, with green spaces and the feeling of safety and security.

The professors are very hard-working and engaged with all their students even during the pandemic setbacks. They really motivated us to learn and earn the highest grades possible and created content tailored to what was practical.

The classes were very interesting and informative and the professors worked hard to provide support and advice to produce high-quality work and assessments. All the modules I chose were important to develop my knowledge and skills for my Master’s applications. I believe a few assessments were slight difficult but for the ones I worked hard for, I was rewarded with high grades.
I believe for a media course, we should have been provided a lot more practical, hands-on opportunities to develop our media skills such as more placements in media sectors to really expand our knowledge for the future. I believe career prospects are still high but it also depends on my practical work which the course really should improve on.
A very impressive and one of the best aspects of the university is how helpful the Student Services is to provide the right mechanisms to help our education and learning during covid, for those who are struggling. They provided a huge amount of help and went above and beyond to provide more provisions, time and support with my assessments so I could fully show my capabilities. Their advice with CVs is also very helpful. I would highly recommend their services.
There are nearly a hundred societies, so a very versatile range to showcase your interests and talents. I would highly recommend studying at Nottingham University.

Had an amazing experience at the university of Nottingham! The course I chose was just how I expected it – very interesting, varied and well-organised – and my lecturers were always ready to help. The university offers so many opportunities such as workshops, talks, events and career appointments – there really is something for everyone. Student services were also very efficient and answered all of my course and admin related questions promptly.
