Cyber Security- BSc (Hons) - Batch of 2027

Offered by Nottingham Trent University

4.9

NTU: Growth, support and success.

Tips: I received a merit-based scholarship that significantly reduced my tuition fees. The application process required early submission, academic records, and a strong personal statement. While it didn't cover living expenses, it did ease financial stress.

Likes (Post study jobs): NTU offers strong career support, and the UK has many graduate roles with visa sponsorship. Companies in IT, business, and engineering recruit here, with salaries averaging 25,000 - 35,000. Guidance and employer links make opportunities accessible.

Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition at NTU is high, but the facilities, modern resources, and practical course structure make it worthwhile. Scholarships help reduce costs, but living expenses add up, so overall, it feels fair, but not perfect value.

Cyber Security- BSc (Hons) - Batch of 2027

4.8

NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops, and employer events.

Tips: Nottingham Trent University offers modern facilities, a diverse culture, and strong career links. The transition was smooth with the support, even though the study style differed. I gained tuition fee scholarships, which eased the cost. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course, the university, and life in the UK.

Likes (Public transportation): NTU is well-connected by trams, buses, and trains. The campus is in the city centre, making travel quick and convenient. Student passes make fares affordable, and frequent services make computing easy and reliable.

Dislikes (Internships): NTU provides good guidance through career services, CV workshops, and employers events. Many internships are relevant to my field, but competition is high, and some roles are unpaid, which makes access slightly challenging.

MSc Project Management - Batch of 2024

Offered by Nottingham Trent University

2.8

Good university but can be very difficult to find any opportunity.

Tips: I think before coming to the UK, make sure you should acquire a skill that will greatly help you find a part-time job. I didn't receive any scholarships. The course was good, and we were taken to France for international exposure, but it's still difficult to find jobs in the UK.

Likes (Student Life): I made good friends and had good teachers. I went to France and really enjoyed it. We visited JCB headquarters, which was fun, and there were lots of events. I was also in the Sikh society, which was really good, and I made many friends. It was a great experience meeting new people.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's really difficult to find part-time jobs, even off campus. Job opportunities are scarce, and even on-campus positions are very rare. I would suggest trying local shops for part-time work.

Cyber Security- BSc (Hons) - Batch of 2027

Offered by Nottingham Trent University

Felt lively with all the events and fellow students.

Tips: It's pretty much normal, and the transition for undergraduate courses is much tougher than for master's. Not much preparation is required to adjust, but start applying for internships as soon as possible so that it's easier to transition to full-time work, as experience matters.

Likes (Part time work): Many workplaces, like restaurants, offer flexible hours that accommodate the university schedule, which is a definite advantage. As a student in a major city, there are numerous opportunities to apply for part-time work, and it's relatively easy to find a position, especially with a reference.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are plenty of Indian restaurants, but they aren't as good as traditional Indian food. Fortunately, there are also plenty of Indian grocery stores, so cooking isn't a problem. You have to travel to Leicester for good Indian food; the ones in Notts are not up to par, so learn to cook or suffer.

Fashion Communications- MA - Batch of 2024

Offered by Nottingham Trent University

Very limited internship opportunities.

Tips: Students can apply for various scholarships by following the university's instructions. I didn't experience a cultural shift, as approximately 90% of my class were Asian. While the university is alright, other universities offering similar tuition fees, such as Manchester Met, are better overall.

Likes (Public transportation): It is well-connected to all parts of the city. You can get student discounts at the beginning of the year, and there's no need to worry about being late to classes, as buses run every 10 minutes. Most importantly, Nottingham has an affordable tram system, and public transport is viable even at night.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There is no permanent settlement option. Furthermore, fashion jobs are not on the shortage occupation list, so there is no skilled worker visa for fashion graduates. Retail jobs, such as sales, and head office positions, like buying and merchandising, offer similar salaries.
