My favourite thing about attending Winchester University is that it isn't very far away from the beach and other cities such as Southampton and Portsmouth so this way we didn't need to travel too far for activities as there is not many things to do in Winchester. For future students I would tell them to join a society it's the easiest way to make friends that you have a similar interest in.
I loved attending my classes, most of our lecturers were kind and attentive, especially compared to my experiences back in Hungary. When A lecturer could not provide me with something I needed, there were always opportunities to seek out additional assistance for my studies and well-being. Everyone was very encouraging and kind about English not being my first language as well.
Most psychology teachers are researchers not practitioners so are not able to talk about their experiences/give actual valuable advice/learning for after graduating or when you get a job in the forensic field. It is very much learn the content rather than preparing you for the field. Saying that the one or two lecturers who have worked in the field for 30+ years are very knowledgeable and have provided me with an incredible amount of knowledge and advice for someone going into the profession.
