University of Nottingham - UoN
speciality: History

I enjoyed my time at UoN. I felt the course I chose – history – was interesting and engaging, and pretty much all the lecturers I had were good. However, I felt soon after starting my course, that further education was not for me, personally.

The campus is lovely, and the city too. I have nothing negative to say about either.

The campus is a lovely, well put together place for students. Its easy to locate lecture buildings and libraries. The greenery as well on campus is nice and refreshing every time you walk around. this along with the lake provides an environmental friendly place. Felt proud to show family and friends the campus and say that i went there.

Extra credits are perhaps the greatest gift students have. With such a great saturation of degrees in the employee market (16.4 million people) it is hard to stand out. But the strength UoN has is an excellent language school which is widely under-utilised by the student base at large. A language, no matter what, opens a huge amount of doors in life. I have had an excellent time learning Arabic through the language department at UoN, which has in turn greatly separated my employability from my peers in an increasingly internationally focused world.

This first year at the University of Nottingham has been amazing. Campus life is so inclusive and makes it easy for first years to bond with one another. Lecturers on the whole, in the Arts, tend to be engaging which makes it easy to absorb information. Moreover, UoN made the transition between A Levels and University work almost seamless. However, night life is at the epicentre of social life at the University. Drinking and going out multiple times a week tends to be the norm, and therefore if that is not your interest, UoN can be quite isolating.

Nottingham is a great university in a great city. The courses are well structured and taught in modern facilities. The student union is the perfect place to socialize, work and book meeting rooms. Downstairs there is a small grocery store and a bar and club. Union is a society for absolutely everyone and offers countless opportunities to really participate in university life. Career Services offer a very convenient way to get additional support, from resume workshops to small business startup sessions. Overall, I’m glad I chose notts. There is no other place I want to go. Would recommend to anyone.

It was a really good uni with a beautiful campus and good facilities and onsite bars and eateries. You’re expected to do a lot of the work yourself rather than being helped much by tutors, with limited contact hours

Brilliant University for overall student life, lovely campus, a range of affordable places to live and great professors. Teaching was diverse and to a very high level, I felt very supported even on a course of 300 people.
