My tutors are amazing especially the head of my course, being an invaluable mentor. The content is mainly engaging and fun requiring lots of focus and time, I spend more time in uni most weeks than I did in school which is different compared to other courses I hear about that only go in for around 10 hours a week. The equipment and technology available for me is very impressive and appreciated. The content can be improved for some of the less interesting modules but the course is new so it gets leeway I know they are already making steps to improve. As for job prospects the industry it's Very hard to get a good job in anyway they have given opportunities and are assisting but in such a gatekeeped industry it's hard to get a foothold even with help. read more

Course Quality: Overall facilities and course content is great, but lecturers seem to skip over topics quickly. Graduate Careers: NTU has a huge employability scheme to help students get careers after graduating. Accommodation: I stayed at Gill Street North Halls and the overall rooms are amazing but wifi is lacking along with high price point. Student Life: Nottingham has probably the best student life experiences within the UK with loads of activities to do within the city and many opportunities to meet people in and outside of university. read more

The MSc in IT Security course is highly sought after and the modules are relevant. However, the web development module seems out of place and could be optional, with a pentesting module added instead. There is a mix of professors at the university who excel in practical application of concepts, while others are more proficient in theoretical aspects. read more
