University of Nottingham

I’m so thrilled that I decided to study at UoN for my undergraduate degree. The university alone has so much to offer and there is always something going on. University Park Campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country in my opinion and the SU is super supportive of students. Student life is always a motive during the week and the city centre seeks to accommodate students. Would definitely recommend for future prospective students.

I studied Medical Physiology and Therapeutics and I was very surprised and happy by the attention and focus that the faculty had on students. Not only were lecturers eager and available to help but the facilities offered by the university and the atmosphere of the campus is the most welcoming setting I could have expected.

My course is challenging and allows you to really learn in various different ways, such as workshops, lectures, shadowing etc. Nottingham student life is amazing as the campus is not far from the town centre where there are all types of bars and clubs. Campus accommodation is catered which isn’t the best food but the experience alone is worth it

UoN really does feel like such a community! It always feels like you are being pushed to do your absolute best , whether that’s academically (which can be tough) or through other aspects of becoming part of our local community and an impactful world citizen. The focus on environmental and societal values is great and definitely acts as inspiration.

The University itself embodies diversity and an array of useful services for undergraduate and postgraduates. It also has exceptional support for students dealing with mental health, their response is by the far the most helpful in comparison to competing universities. Alongside this staff are also very generous with the amount of support they supply for students.

Overall, the university experience has been great. Within my course, I felt that the transition from A-Level to University was very comfortable and I didn't feel like I was behind at all. The pre-written notes provided by all my lecturers was a blessing and meant that I didn't have to worry about missing any important information as the lecturer is speaking (not all lecturers record their lectures so having these notes saves quite a lot of time). My first-year experience in a catered hall was lovely. The food mainly had its good days and the 'family vibe' was really present throughout the formals, daily dinner times and other events organised within our halls. The hall was also a good distance away from my engineering buildings, the Student Union shops and the gym. At first, the high hills were a bit difficult to climb up and down but after a while, you get used to them and it feels like a nice short workout before lectures! There are more flat paths around the university too. The societies are easy to join and all have been welcoming to freshers and even those who join halfway through the year (you don't always have to sign up for everything right at the beginning). Overall, my experience has been wonderful and I am looking forward to moving into a new house with friends from my hall next year!
