I’m Daisy and I’m studying in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures for a MA
in Middle Eastern Studies. The reason I chose to come to Nottingham initially just the
campus, it’s an absolutely stunning setting and it’s so green. And we’ve got the city
centre right on our doorstep as well. For me, it was the best of both worlds really.
The green, lush campus and a vibrant city centre right next to each other, I think it’s
an absolutely perfect setting.
The social life at Nottingham is absolutely brilliant as well, as a postgrad, you have
The Postgraduate Student Association or PGSA, who organise loads of trips and
social events for you to go to. In addition to that, Nottingham has loads of bars, clubs
and restaurants, so whatever food, music or social scene you are into, Nottingham
has something for you.
The structure of my course was also really interesting to me – Although it was one
degree, it was inter-disciplinary so I was taught in four different departments, giving
me a really varied and wide depth of knowledge, which as a postgraduate I think is
something you really want.
