Hi everyone. My name is Priyanka and I'm
a final year electrical and electronic engineering student.
In this video, I'll be talking about and showing
you what its like to study EEE
at the University of Nottingham.
There are three main reasons why I chose to study my course here.
The first of which is how welcoming and friendly the
department were when I came here for my offer holder day.
Another reason is how the project is structured.
So unlike the conventional way of having
a few hours of project weekly,
This course has an entire week dedicated
to project following a few weeks of lectures,
meaning that you're really able to understand what you've
learned and apply your knowledge in a practical way.
And last but not least,
I absolutely love the campus.
Coming into uni, I was expecting the goals to be challenging and it is
but in a good way. I did A-Levels
and from my experience the transition from
that to the first year of uni was made to be really smooth.
Personally, I felt that
second year was my most challenging year.
However, you'll definitely have all the support needed
to get through.
The course has a 50-50 split between lectures and project work.
Meaning that you'll find yourself spending an equal amount
of time in lectures as you do in labs.
You'll also have a weekly meeting
with your personal tutor and slash or
your project supervisor.
All my lectures are based on University Park Campus.
So luckily, it's an easy walk to get from one place to another.
All the main buildings are also close to
George Green Library and Portland building.
So it's really convenient to find
a quiet place to study or just get some food to eat,
For the rest of this video,
I'll be taking you into uni with me
so you can see where you'll be studying
and also get the chance to hear from some of
our current students as well as lecturers.
This is Coates corridor,
and you'll find yourself here quite often for project meetings,
to meet your personal tutor or just to see any lecturers.
Hi, my name's Steve Greedy. I'm the first year senior tutor and
the admissions tutor here in
Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nottingham University.
I'm just going to give a bit of an overview of
our course just to emphasise
that our course is very practical in nature,
where students spend 50% of their time within practical labs
designing real-world solutions to challenges that we pose.
Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm a first year EEE student.
What I like about Nottingham is the campus the buildings are
located on, and the labs that we use for projects are really well
equipped, and have everything we need to complete our practicals.
George Green Library is the closest library to
the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
It's a great place for quiet study or group meetings.
There's also a cafe here,
so it's a good place to come to
during the breaks between your lectures.
These are our ESLC labs
where a lot of project work takes place.
And right here I can see a few of our final year students,
so let's ask them some questions.
What's the one thing you did to settle in?
That's a really good question. Definitely recommend joining
the EEE society,
as that helps you interact with other students.
They host events like quiz night,
football, and paintball.
So that's definitely one thing.
What's your favourite thing about
our department?
Project week. So going from four weeks of lectures
and then going to a project week, I think
that's perfect for me since I'm
a hands-on person, turning
that theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge.
What's one tip you'd give our offer holders?
I would say sign up and go to
all event organised by the department,
for example, careers fair.
Perfect. Thanks guys.
See you later!
I hope you've enjoyed watching this video, which gives you
a quick look at what it's like to study EEE
at the University of Nottingham.
And for those of you joining us, I hope you enjoy your time here
just as much as I did. Bye!
