Course is very independent and the foundation year will help going into first year but I believe it is very A-Level biased. Even with distinctions in level 3 and level 3 extended diplomas which go in depth in what I'm learning now I'm still required to complete the foundation year read more

The course is great and is definitely way better than people give it credit for. There is a high level of coursework meaning it focuses on paying what you learn too. Additionally NTU the best employability in the UK so it is a great uni and should definitely be top 10 for Engineering (mech + aero) read more

Studying Civil Engineering at Nottingham Trent University has been a rewarding experience. The course is well-structured, with a great balance between theory and practical application. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, always ready to provide guidance and support. The facilities are excellent, with access to modern labs, engineering software, and hands-on opportunities that help bring concepts to life. The emphasis on sustainability and real-world problem-solving has been particularly inspiring, preparing me for a future in sustainable infrastructure. Group projects and teamwork are a big part of the course, allowing us to develop essential communication and collaboration skills. Overall, it’s an engaging and well-rounded program that I’d highly recommend to anyone passionate about engineering and making a difference in the built environment. read more

Studying Aerospace Engineering at NTU has been quite an experience. The course is actually really challenging and provides a solid foundation and understanding in both theory and practical skills. The professors are experts in their fields and always ready to offer guidance and support. They are also so patient with us because so many of us take quite a bit if time to fully grasp some topics. The hands-on projects, lab sessions, and access to cutting-edge technology have helped me apply what I've learned in real-world contexts. I also appreciate the strong industry connections, which provide great opportunities for networking and future career prospects. read more

Now starting my second year, after doing a foundation and first year. The facilities are great. Modern building with modern equipment. The lab technicians are absolutely amazing and often are a lot more helpful than the lecturers. The course syllabus however is pretty lacking when compared to other universities. I do not know how this course is IET accredited - the first year modules missed out SO much content, and they hardly gave any practical demonstrations of the theory whatsoever. As well as missing valuable content, some of the practical labs we did made no sense; our coursework for the electrical systems module had several errors in it. It felt like the modules were written 5 years ago and nobody has ever checked that they're OK... there is a massive imbalance in difficulty from the electrical modules to the mechanical, maths and physics etc. EEE exams are open book and very easy. The rest are challenging! They need more practical examples and labs, longer lectures etc. read more
