Loved every minute of my time at Worcester!

I have recently completed my nursing degree at the University of Worcester and can honestly say I loved every minute of my time there. The uni itself is a bright and modern space with many facilities on campus, for example, a cafe, Starbucks, Costa, student union, a campus shop, lots of computers, student services, academic writing support etc. The main thing I liked the most about Worcester was the sheer amount of support I received over my three years of nurse training. I went through many tough times both academically and in my personal life and there was always someone there to give me help and support from my personal tutor to student services. The university also has a library on a separate campus not too far away (within walking distance) called the Hive which is a purpose-built university and public library. There are hundreds of computers to use and the variety of books on offer is huge. I always used to go here to do any work as there were quiet areas too. I can’t comment on the accommodation as I lived at home whilst studying, but I have heard good things about the accommodation. In terms of nursing, the university has a small building on the main campus site which is dedicated to nursing and other health courses as it has mannequins where skills can be practised safely in small groups. All the nursing lecturers were amazing, so knowledgeable and approachable. If I want to do a postgraduate course in the future, I will definitely be returning to Worcester. I’m so sad to leave as it has really been the time of my life!

Nice place to be

I enjoyed learning at the university. The lectures were nice and students were nice to everyone, I found it easier to interact with everyone at school. However, life was tough in general due to lack of enough funds to support my student upkeep. But I recommend the school to anyone

Invest in your future.

Masinde Muliro university of science and technology has a system that defines and delivers expectations for students who have a passion for science and tech. It comprises a staff of positive-minded individuals towards education, who make the institution thrive in both academic and co-curricular activities. The university also has a support program for those who are unable to pay their tuition and fees thus transcending the barriers of illiteracy in the nation.

EBSU can make your a professional in your field.

Ebonyi state university is one university making waves especially in its medical sector. Although, the stress is real like every other university, it still stands out for me because of the quality lecturers and their intentionality towards impacting the students with knowledge to stand out in their various fields. Campus life stands out as they provide opportunities for students to connect with like minds, explore, and grow while learning.
