I have a Bachelor’s degree here at the University of Nottingham and have just completed my Master’s degree. Libraries are wonderful places with many facilities available and lots of help at hand. There are many guides and supports to help you learn. It’s open 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to worry if you have a deadline. There is ample space for both group and individual lessons. The student union is inexpensive and offers a variety of drinks and food on weekdays. There are occasional events that are really good when you need a break. I have enjoyed my time in Nottingham and have found my tutor to be a great support from day one while studying for my Masters.

Curriculum is a bit rigorous but gives good hands on experience with skills and also helps building industrial links and connections. Also, the cultural change for Indian students gives a different experience in life

The computer science at UoN is different from all other UK universities as the modules lay emphasis on mathematics alongside programming. It also offers some interdisciplinary courses which I found interesting, especially because I want to apply for a doctoral program after my masters.

Amazing campus (both Jubilee and UP), friendly people and lecturers that are always available to help whenever you need.__Public transport is easily accessible and both Jubilee Campus and UP are within walking distance which is great, on top of that free hopper buses are provided.__

Any lecturers I’ve been in contact with have been very invested in genuinely helping their students, have always helped me where they can even beyond their responsibilities. Both Uni Park and Jubilee campus are amazing in their own ways – the greenery of Uni Park second to no uni campus I’ve seen and the architecture of Jubilee forming the most interesting buildings on a uni campus!
University support also very helpful to its students with a wide range of staff for any issues you may face.

Computer Science is taught from the ground up. This is great because not everyone has the opportunity to study such a subject at school, though from what I’ve heard more schools are starting to offer Computer Science.

The university experience differs from course to course. I can only comment on the Computer Science Department. They treat you like adults, there is no register or compulsory attendance except for assessments. The University was very supportive when one of my family members passed away shortly before some of my exams.

If you have an interest in functional programming then UoN is definitely the place to be. There are quite a few modules on the topic although I wish there were more!

Not everything is perfect, naturally some lecturers aren’t as good but the majority are great. You are given plenty of support with coursework if you need it.

The Computer Science Department is located on Jubilee campus, which is also home to a library situated on the lake. The library is sinking because apparently they forgot to take into account the weight of the books when building it… Good job computer science students don’t use libraries very often…

I must say that the public transport in Nottingham is fantastic; there are frequent buses and trams to a variety of locations. There are loads of places for a good night out even if you’re into metal like myself.

Regarding first year accommodation. I highly recommend Broadgate Park. This is situated across the road from the main campus with buses that go to Jubilee campus. Broadgate Park is a short walk from Beeston which has Tesco, Sainsburys, Boots, Rymans, Wilkos, Poundland, a butcher, a fishmonger and loads of other shops. For a small town it’s absolutely fantastic.

As of writing this review I’m about to enter my 4th year of the MSci Computer Science course. I’ve enjoyed most of the last 3 years (apart from the dead family member bit) and I’m looking forward to the next academic year.
