Student review [#13422] for Chemistry
at University of Nottingham - UoN

I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the main campus of UoN, University Park campus. I started my first year on the BSc course because my A-level grades weren’t as good as I needed them to be for a master’s degree. But after doing well in my first-year exams, I moved onto the MSci Chemistry course with an international study year which was really easy to do. So, I had to prepare for a study year abroad, during the third year of my degree. I got a lot of help and support with those preparations and help with finances. The campus is very green but not isolated. Nottingham town is 30-40 mins walk from the campus and there are frequent buses into town. The chemistry laboratories are well equipped and there is a lot of support from staff on the course. The lecturers are very good and quite famous in the scientific world. Libraries and computer room facilities are great; free ICT help and laptop rentals, group study areas in library and the computer rooms are open 24/7. I highly recommend staying at Raleigh Park. The best off-campus self-catered accommodation. It’s next to Jubilee campus, so 20-30 mins walk to University Park campus, and there are lots of social activities at the halls during fresher’s week.
