I enjoy my course in psychology as I have been able to expand my knowledge and gain skills from work placements offered at NTU. I would say that the teaching could do with some improvements as there does seem to be a lack of support from module staff. read more

I really do don’t recommend attending this university. There is little to no academic support from lecturers or tutors even when you actively seek it out. The organisation of the course structure and assignments and exams for many modules were poorly thought out and organised which made it very very difficult as a student to succeed. Many student of my course have expressed similar feelings to me (wanting to drop out). Many student on my course and have complained to course leaders about the affect of the poor organisation of exam schedules on their mental health which was greeted by an email telling students that their complaining is ‘inappropriate’ and that they should contact mental health services. If you attend this university it will be very very difficult to succeed due to the lack of academic and emotional support, feed back is so so general and terrible and your potential will be wasted if you attend this university. Some lecturers are nice, some lectures can be interesting. read more

There is no guidance. Personal tutors are hit-or-miss, but the content they deliver is as inane and boring as the rest of it. Some lecturers are great, and there are small bits of interesting content here and there - but the vast majority of this course it abominable. read more

I was a bit disappointed in teaching abilities of the professors. Despite some of them being experts in the field, I feel like they don't really know how to demonstrate that knowledge to students, and some lectures can be quite boring and monotonous. I would personally like to make they course a bit harder, especially for Year 1. I also thin that the entry requirements should be higher, since about 50% of the people on the course drop out during the first year, meaning they are not really passionate about the subjects. I think if it was a bit harder, less people would attend just for the sake of having a 'uni experience'. read more

I felt the teaching quality in 2 year was diobolical compared to first year. I found myself having to study a lot harder in order to teach myself the content. I felt the courseworks we were given weren’t taught well at all. They were only explained in detail very close to the deadline which made it impossible to feel confident. read more
