University of Surrey and Nottingham Trent University

Review: University of Surrey and Nottingham Trent University

University of Surrey

In this post, I will be analysing briefly the University of Surrey and Nottingham Trent University. The University of Surrey offers many courses in various fields, but for me, one of the strengths of the University of Surrey is that it offers professional experiences and skills via hands on training and professional placement.

This hands on training and professional placement is usually paid and offers rather high salaries and will result in experience, as you get to study and work, and hence gain professional skills learning from various experts in many fields, like commerce, industry and the public sector in the UK. I think this unique focus on hands on training and professional placement is one of the distinguishing factors that enables the University of Surrey to be somewhat different from its competitors in the education market. This is a good, strong point that may provide a competitive edge.

The University of Surrey offers both undergraduates and postgraduates good choices for education in many fields.

However, the one major problem is that the University of Surrey has currently no online degrees available, so one would have to travel there in order to study at the University of Surrey. For non-UK students this is not a viable option, and besides, there are online degrees available. Perhaps online university degrees might be available there in the near future.

Nottingham Trent University

Nottingham Trent University, known also as NTU, is not to be confused with Singapore's Nanyang Technical University NTU. Nottingham Trent University is better than Surrey for the purposes of this online university degrees blog because it has more distance learning options and while the University of Surrey is excellent and has great opportunities for working in the UK in established and excellent fields, Nottingham Trent University offers Undergraduate Law and many postgraduate and professional courses from Biomedical science to Real Estate research MSc.

However, it seems that the main focus of distance learning for Nottingham Trent University is law, and so if law is your main focus, this would be a good choice for an online degree in law.

Nottingham Trent University is said to be modern, well in the rankings (although I personally feel that it is one of the middling universities, but since it is from the UK it should be alright) and maybe you would want to consider Nottingham Trent University seriously as one of the distance learning courses available to you.

Cheers! More to come about other Universities and online courses :)
