University of Nottingham - UoN Speciality : Law
programme: Law

I studied law and imwhilst it was very intense I really felt I got my moneys worth. Tutorials were good.

The campus itself is beautiful, the lake is lovely. There are hundreds of societies to choose from: from sports, to creative to general interest.

I had a really lovely experience at UoN, with wonderful support from the Law School and a beautiful campus to enjoy daily. I highly recommend this institution to anyone looking for a lively and enriching undergraduate experience!

The philosophical and international approach to law is a great element in the Master’s degree, which is something everyone should have a look at! More importantly, the professors are great in their field. The campus is also one of the best in the UK. My only caveat is that the university’s accommodation prices are higher than average house costs around the campus.

The Campus is Great for anything, whether for a social outing or to just relax. It’s a big walk stretching 30-45 minutes to go through it and you’ve got cafes and places on the way. The only concern is that there are certain teachers that sometimes, and in my personal experience, do not aim to provide you with 100% of their efforts like you do to your studies. You’d receive a mark with sometimes fairly little comments on the paper. That’s a big no-no from me as academics, especially after the first year, is my priority.

– very harsh marking
– May not always explain things efficiently (they expect you to get a lot of it on your own)
– most professors are excellent
– expensive overall
– accommodation is expensive, DO NOT go for catered accommodation
– exam feedback sessions are not very helpful, you’d have to hunt down examiners to get what you want.
– very competitive environment
– too focused on commercial law
– elitist in some ways.

The uni is good. Most of the professors are good. However, some of them are not helpful at all and end up confusing the students more than helping them out. The libraries are well stocked and have a good system. It would be helpful to convert the libraries into 24-7 access throughout the year instead of only during exam periods.
