Botany degrees

Edge Hill is a hidden gem as far as universities go. It's not as well known as some other unis but it's really great in almost every way. Very supportive staff, great quiet countryside location with good access to Liverpool and close to surrounding towns such as Southport. The gym facilities are top notch, as well as thr library and departments facilities. Can't recommended enough.

My university is a great place to study in the central city. The city has no improvement, and the university is all good. As I am a commuter student from a town to city by train. The facilities are updated to date and suitable. The location is good. The student support is excellent. The campus look and feel are good, and they have updated the university's rebranding. The student life is good, and my friends are great. There is not much social student life in the city as a commuter. The students' union is good and they have move students' union back on campus.

I applied to Aberystwyth University as I was looking to complete a librarianship qualification. Aberystwyth has a great reputation in this field, so I came onto the course with high expectations. They have been thoroughly met. The departmental staff are fantastic, and I find myself constantly excited for my next module. The flexibility is the best part of my course. I am able to study whenever I want, which I am truly thankful for.

I really appreciate the library for its peaceful environment, which is perfect for focusing on my studies. However, I've noticed a few areas that could be enhanced for a better experience. For instance, it's great that there are vending machines on the ground floor to grab a quick sandwich or water when hungry, but the absence of a microwave and a water heater is a bit of an inconvenience. This is especially true for times when someone, particularly girls during their menstrual cycle or anyone with a stomachache, might need warm food or a hot drink. It would be wonderful if the school could consider adding these facilities to make our library time even more comfortable.

The campus is very green and is just a beautiful place to study and work. There is a really good balance between socialising and work, I’m able to balance playing sport and meeting up with friends with my studies, not having to compromise on much. The lecturers are very helpful and they generally explain things well, although the pastoral and careers support through our tutors could be improved. Generally I am very glad I chose to study here in Nottingham, and would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve highly in both their career and at the same time be able to have a thriving social life and overall good work life balance.
