Geography And Environmentally-Related Disciplines And Bioscience Phd
University Of Gloucestershire
Jonathan, October 2007Overall score
I'm enjoying it very much and it has given me a number of useful skills for life most notably perhaps "Independence". I would recommend my course to others but feel uncomfortable about recommending for courses I haven't been on. Some of the administration and student support is needing improvement although financial advice and counselling for example are very professional. The teaching and campus are brilliant for my course.
Study experience
For my course the lecturers are very good, although i've heard some different stories for other subjects, although I can't possibly comment. The expertise of particular lecturers is the best part of it. Perhaps lecturers are more participatory than A -level classes and more interesting and real-world linked. Academically make sure you work in the first year and be careful of your time management!
Facilities
Postgraduate life
There are a good number of sports teams which cater for complete beginners aswell as more advanced players with the top teams achieving BUSA league. However possibly due to SU lack of funding, there is a lack of societies however this could be changed by more proactive students.
Job prospects
I wish to continue my studies in Human Geography related application, perhaps "International Development".
