I think so far, coming to the end of my second year, my experience with this course has been amazing. I think the teaching staff and their attentiveness have been consistent and positive. The content of the course is incredibly relevant and applicable to future prospects (this was the general feedback on our Portfolios from potential employers). We have been prepared for our futures after University already. We have a module that has a specific goal for preparing us. We had to submit a CV, Cover Letter and Portfolio. This was to that we were ready for mock interviews prior to finding our placements. This meant that when it came to applying, we had everything ready to a very good standard. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. I think to achieve high grades you must be prepared to g further and sacrifice a lot of your time to the library, or wherever it is you produce your best work. Being a fully coursework course, there is constantly work which does make this non-stop. read more

Very badly run, several lecturers with very open left-wing mindsets and a course leader who promises that 'no one fails this course'. The law lecturer was competent and did teach her allowed time So, if you want a course with very little critical thinking and a course leader who gives students answers to coursework, this is the course for you. read more

The vibrant student life on and around campus, the working community within my course (big up architecture) as well as the unparalleled oppurtinites for students seeking success both during and after their studies makes NTU the one for me. Companies often visit our Student Union to host events with chances for networking opportunities - plus freebies! The lecturers here genuinely seem to care about their students. I love it here!

The Architecture BArch Hons program at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is highly regarded for its excellence in teaching and hands-on learning experiences. My tutors are knowledgeable, supportive, and encourage me to think creatively and critically. The course has given me a broad and comprehensive education in architecture, covering topics such as design, technology, history, and professional practice. Ive noticed that the course offers a good balance of practical and theoretical learning, ensuring that I am well-prepared for my future career. One of the standout features of the program is the opportunity to work on real-world projects and collaborate with industry professionals. I have been exposed to a wide range of design challenges and I'm encouraged to apply my skills and knowledge to create innovative and sustainable solutions. NTU has strong links with the architecture industry, which will provide me with valuable networking opportunities. read more

Through my time at NTU I have felt very forgotten about and several requests for extra work has been denied. The administration of this course has been a shambles in recent years, I have since transferred to a different university whom independently assessed my work and deemed it to be of a higher standard than what it was graded by NTU. The university I transferred to is much more prestigious and requires higher UCAS tariff points. I find it amazing after communications between NTU, they have deemed my new university’s grading as “incorrect†and “outdatedâ€. I’m so glad I have moved to a different university where I finally feel I am getting what I am paying for. NTU are are money grabbing from students, especially during covid. They stated on all websites that during covid, in-person teaching for this course was running. This is not true. During years 2019-2020 all work and lectures were ran through Microsoft Teams. Please do your research well into this university! read more

I love the course and it makes me to fall more and more in love with architecture. It is indeed a challenging subject that can gives you a lot of stress and anxiety but overall the teaching is excelent, the tutors are really helpful and open to give you advice, a lot of good material and facilities to study. Sometimes it might look disorganized like they put all the deadlines for all the modules on the same date and same time which stressed a lot of students and the amount of work sometimes is too much to create a good balance between study and personal life. From my personal experience the second year got me depression and I had a lot to deal with the work which didn't help me. It's kinda difficult to have a job and the best grades and a good health at the same time, somewhere you need to sacrifice. read more
