A review of University of Bristol!

Likes:

I like that my course at the University of Bristol, had learned professors who had a lot of expertise in their subject and also an experience on how to teach the subject. They always linked theoretical knowledge with practical examples which helped to understand how is the theoretical knowledge linked with the practical implementations in real life. null
There were sufficient assignments given to us, along with synchronous and asynchronous classes and materials to gain more knowledge in all aspects. null
We were also provided with the names of books that were easily found in the library and e-books were also available for free from the library which helped a lot to get comprehensive details on the subject we were studying. null
I also liked the curriculum of my course since all the courses were closely related to each other and all aspects of the communication networks were taught to us in quite detail. null
The library of our university was also one of my favourite places to be in. It was quiet, with all the relevant books, and helpful staff, along with a canteen and enough study spaces to get all means to study in my own comfort zone. The career service of our university was also very good and quite accessible. You could go to them anytime in the day or by taking an appointment and show them your CV, and cover letter and get help in various soft skills such as presentation skills. null
They had a Bristol Plus Award that persuaded me to do things outside of work and in turn I did multiple volunteering, practised my employment soft skills, and built them by putting in the extra effort. null
There were also multiple events organized by the university with the societies of the university and all festivals were celebrated because of which I didn't miss home. null

Dislikes:

There were language barriers sometimes where the professors were not able to be comprehensive about what they wanted to teach. null
What I didn't like was mostly that it was quite expensive. Even printouts were not free and took some amount and I being a person who wants hard copies of stuff, was facing some difficulties. null
There were not many practical sessions to get better practical exposure. null

The University of Bristol was my second choice in terms of what university I should choose since it was the second best university in my course as it is very famous for engineering. I liked that it is one of the red brick universities since it is very reputed to be in the red brick universities. Moreover, it was in Bristol, which is a very beautiful place to be in. The curriculum intrigued me since all the subjects were that I wanted to study. I have a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication and 3.5 years of experience as a software engineer in networking. Thus, I had an interest in getting theoretical knowledge in computer networks, and I saw my curriculum matching all courses I was expecting to learn to bridge the gap between the practical and theoretical expertise that I wanted to acquire. I thus accepted my offer of admission. My overall experience at the university was more than hopeful. I got to learn so much, including studies and extracurriculars, talking to various people from all parts of the world, and living with each other with fun and laughter. People in the university being so helpful, motivating, and persuading me to reach my goal helped me reach new heights. It has built confidence in me, and it feels like a dream coming true.

Clear review

Likes:

It has a very reputable image and part of prestigious community plus it is a top 9th University in Bristol. null

Dislikes:

One aspect of my college/university experience that I find particularly challenging is the lack of flexibility in the curriculum. Many of the courses are structured in a rigid manner, leaving little room for exploration or customization based on individual interests or career goals. This limited flexibility can be frustrating, especially for students who seek to delve deeper into specific subjects or pursue interdisciplinary studies. Additionally, the scheduling of classes and availability of elective courses often pose constraints, making it difficult to create a well-rounded educational experience. Furthermore, the bureaucratic processes within the institution can sometimes hinder efficient communication and problem-solving, leading to delays and inefficiencies in academic matters. Overall, while I appreciate the resources and opportunities provided by my college/university, I believe that greater flexibility and adaptability in the curriculum and administrative processes would greatly enhance the learning experience for students. null

My experience was good, overall it was worth going there, but I find that the experience counts more than the studies.

Could do better!

Likes:

I chose UoB for its QS Ranking credibility and Alumni placement ratio. null
The fact that it gave me access to the UK workforce & the economy, the course also allowed me to pursue a subject that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to in India as I needed a business degree to study business further. null

Dislikes:

The course was not academically challenging enough and not much substantial learning came out of it. All lectures were online and only 2-3 seminars in person. The class wasn't too diverse either affecting the quality of commination as everyone's ability to communicate in English was not at par .

Having done an intensive and research driven undergrad I did not find the course academically challenging, the lectures were around the topics that I already knew, did not have much support from my dissertation mentor that affected my overall degree result. Overall the degree only seemed to equip me with the access to the UK job economy and the cost did not justify the results.

My Experience at Bristol

The University of Bristol is a top-10 UK university, and has established itself as an institution of research and training excellence. It is the fourth most targeted university by top UK employers. The MSc Public Health course offers an impressive set of modules which would help me work toward becoming a well rounded, responsible public health practitioner.Bristol is largely vibrant, green and a young city, which was another factor which influenced my decision to choose the university.
