This is a review about a specific University in the UK. I went there as a mature student. It is a multi-cultural community and encourages students from all over the world, both exchange and full time. It will disclose some information about the De Montfort University in general and the campus I attended.
De Montford University is set in the heart of Britain with five sites set in four counties. It is a university that is one of the biggest in Britain. It is known for its Consultancy, Research and Training programmes. De Montford has many programmes including Further Education courses, Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Professional programmes. There is a chance for flexible study within a wide range of subjects, as well as holding International conferences and symposia too.
I have recently completed a modular degree at this University and would recommend it if you have an interest in sports, education including teacher training or Dance and/or Drama. The campus at Bedford is split into two sites, which are about two miles apart. It also has a community theatre, swimming pool, dance plus movement studios, two libraries, gymnasium and what all students like to hear two, yes two Student Union bars.
The lectures are usually around two-three hour long and not over crowded except for core modules. Most of the tutors and lecturers are approachable and will assist with any problems. Extensions are granted for assignments and if you have special needs the student support agency will assist you to get the help you require.
The campus has its own on-site doctor’s surgery, nurse and physiotherapist. There are also many societies and clubs to join. Making friends is very easy, even for the shiest of student. As a student you are never alone!
During the first year of you course, you can live in the halls of residence, but then you must move out. The accommodation in Bedford is plentiful and reasonably prices. If you are looking for a University, this one is small but the natives are friendly!
