Nursing Studies Postgraduate at University Of Cumbria

Overall score

The management of the course was just dreadful, totally disorganised. There is no support when you go out on placement and it is totally random each time where you are allocated. Terrible, please don't waste your money and your time. The government should not fund this institution.

Study experience

The lecturers were terrible. The staff student ratio meant that there was no support available. Lecturers are ex primary school teachers and thus could never be described as academics let alone researchers.

Facilities

It has a sign outside saying library, but when you went inside it due to the lack of resources it was not obvious you were in the right place.

Postgraduate life

Did not find it!

Job prospects

Competition seems very high for primary jobs and the careers people were not encouraging.

Overall score

The most important piece of advice is go to a decent university. This is truly terrible in terms of facilities, lecturers and management. Please do not waste your money and your time. This does not deserve to be called a university. My FE college was at a higher level.

Overall score

It's good, the uni is pretty good and in a nice area.

Study experience

It's a very very busy course. Only do it if you're serious about teaching.

Facilities

The uni facilities are really good, with 24hr computer access should you not have a computer.

Postgraduate life

Reasonable selection, though with the pgce course there isn't much time to get involved.

Job prospects

The course will help me gain QTS status which will enable me to teach.
