@@anikasharma5052 Absolutely! Tbh it'd be way easier to have a private conversation on this if you have any specific concerns, but speaking more generally, I'd recommend building your timetable and having a budget that accommodates specifically for mental health activities. For example, saving up and saying once a week you'll go to the cinema or go on a trip just to focus on yourself 💪🏽
Hey, because you also did engineering like I want to do, can I ask how much time you had with the course for spare time and how many societies did you end up joining?
Personally I didn't join too many societies but that's mostly down to the costs, for example most sports teams require gym membership, kits and standard membership fees. Regarding free time, the uni assumes we work for about 40 hours per week including lectures, so with about 20-25 contact hours in engineering, we reasonably spend 10-15 hours a week studying on average (granted it's a bit more nearing exam season). I feel I have enough free time to do all the things I want, it just comes down to time management I guess
Hi I'm studying Beng engineering maths at uni in September, are there any recommendations you would have in terms of preparation? I havent studied a level physics but I have further maths. Also how much 'hands on' experience is there on the engineering maths course?
It's worth watching my other videos on my experience with eng maths if you haven't already, but in a nutshell you don't really need to do any prep (maybe some coding if you want a headstart, but it's not necessary) and there aren't many hands on components, at least there wasn't in my first year. You get computer labs and some project focused assessments, but those are mostly code/research based unless you pick something more practical in your final year. In year 2 you do thermodynamics (which might actually be a first year module now) with a hands-on engines lab, but that's just 2 sessions and mostly taught in lectures otherwise
That'll be up to you! I like Bristol but Bath is a nice city too, I think Bristol is bigger and a bit more diverse but otherwise we're not too far apart and are quite similar regions in my eyes. I don't have any complaints about Bath, though they're not a Russel Group uni (despite being very very good too!)
Hello, I got an offer for foundation with a progression to psychology bsc hopefully. However, the rankings for psychology student’s satisfaction are horrendous. Do you know anything about how hard the psychology course is there and could you let us know if you have heard any feedback about it from students. Thank you!
Everyone I know who did psych seemed to enjoy it, I generally think students enjoy uni but I can't speak for your course specifically. It's all subjective fundamentally but I like Bristol
Unfortunately not, just send emails where possible so you leave a paper trail and try to keep all relevant parties involved (ie your tutor or senior lecturer). Make sure you stay up to date and ask for updates along the way so nothing goes out of your way too, just incase they try to let deadlines slip away
It'll be impossible to give you a take on Bath haha but Bristol is nice, my understanding is that Bristol have a more research focused path with the city being known for its influence in the aero sector, so you will probably get better industry connections here too, but I can't really confirm anything! Bath are a top university albeit not Russell Group and the city is a fair bit smaller than Bristol, but I'm sure you'd enjoy studying at either institution
hey! I’ll probably be going to study next year at bristol, and im from greece so I wanted to ask, how is it for international students? ik you’re english, but have you seen or do you hang out with lots of international students? also im probably applying to stoke bishop for accomodation, but im not sure if there are any international students there at all. do you know? thank you in advance and sorry for my english!
Haha don't worry about your English! I actually have a few international friends and I'm aware we're building a new "global lounge" for more home and international students to meet, which I'm quite excited for! Bristol has a relatively high percentage of international students and I think you're an important part of out student culture, so you'll definitely enjoy yourself here. Personally I don't know much about stoke bishop, but my understanding is that the city centre is more diverse (mostly as we have the cheaper halls and are self catered) but honestly it's hard to say. People generally love whatever halls they go to so I wouldn't worry too much, otherwise you can transfer at any time!
I've heard good things about that course but it's not exactly a 50/50 split, I think MechElec guys work about 30-50% more than regular engineers BUT have a bit more flexibility in modules so it depends on your work ethic and what you want to get out of the degree. Any engineering degree at Bristol is a good choice, it's mostly about option choices and your longer term career choices! Hope that helps, I'd recommend attending an open day and speaking to someone on that course if you have more questions
Of course bro, anytime 💪🏽 my best advice would be to stay sharp on your maths, a level maths/further math carried me through first year when I started to fall off, so if you can stay sharp, you'll be fine
Great video! I am an international student heavily considering Bristol for mechanical engineering. What % of international students are there? Also, do you know anyone that does mechanical there?
I couldn't give you an exact percentage as every cohort is different and there's almost no international students on campus this year, given the circumstance 😭 I think it's usually around 30-40% though, if not more. RE mech, a lot of my friends study mechanical and most people enjoy it; mech and aero are probably the better more known disciplines. Bristol is great for both, I think most engineers would love Bristol!
Great video, do you know anyone who knows what it's like to study physics there? I like the city and the uni and pretty much everything about it but I'm not that certain on how good the course is/ how it's tought.
Thanks for watching! I have a few friends that do maths and physics joint and pure physics and they all enjoy it, the physics building is actually one of our main buildings and there’s a decent amount of investment in that department, but I’m not too sure of the teaching. People have issues every now and then with the labs, but overall it seems to be a good choice, although I think Manchester and Southampton are great for physics too
Hey man! Had a question, do you have a basic idea about the Computer Science and Mathematics program there. I got accepted in the 4 year Msc program in Computer science and Mathematics and am really considering to opt it as my first choice. It would be very helpful if you could tell me about the reseach exposure there as well.
Haha yeah, I was asking some students on the course but they're yet to get back to me. Generally, my friends who studied maths or CS enjoyed it but I don't have any insight into the joint program. As with most Russel Group unis, the research exposure here is really good and the engineering department is getting a lot of funding at the moment, so you'll get to use some innovative technologies through the CS side of your degree. For maths, we've literally just finished building the Fry Building which is much bigger and (supposedly) far more comprehensive than the old maths building, though no one's been in there yet
@@jordanebert3313 well thanks a ton for the help mate, also wanted to know if as an International student I’ll get the same opportunities as the domestic students?
@@jordanebert3313 well that would be all! thanks once again for making a video to gain an insight into the university. Genuinely appreciate the efforts.
I’m an international student considering Bristol for international business but don’t now how good the school of management is in Bristol. My other option is Leeds
Unfortunately you'd probably know more than me on this front, but Bristol is generally a good uni. I'm not too sure about the University of Leeds, though the nightlife and music scene there is really good. I know our management school is good at masters level
I think it's great as cities go, all the clubs/bars/pubs are in close proximity and there's almost always an event going on, so there's nothing really to complain about. There's something for everyone, you just have to find it
Of course! Unis are generally pretty resourceful but Russel groups and wealthier unis are naturally very well equipped. My only complaint would be the lack of green spaces in the city, but that comes with any city really
@@scarlettmsmith7845 all of my socio friends actually graduated last year with 2:1s and 1st! It's quite a good degree, very relaxed and you'll meet some nice people. The facilities naturally aren't as good as we have in engineering, but that's the case for most non-technical degrees I guess 🤷🏽♂️ congrats on making your offer! Maybe we'll see eachother next year haha
Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful for someone like me who is considering Bristol. Can I ask whether you knew anyone who studied economics and/or philosophy at Bristol, and what the course, classes and people were like? Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't know anyone who did straight economics or philosophy, but I know people who did joint degrees (e.g. econ and finance or physics and philosophy). Econ is a safe degree I think, not too difficult compared to maths or engineering but still very employable and offers great flexibility with modules. I'd look into the degree requirements and decide which pathway gives you the most flexibility, as I think EFM, for example, will have more mandatory units than straight econ. Philosophy I can't speak to as much, but I think those who do it with maths/physics have mixed experiences as the writing component can be tough for people who don't like essays or a welcome break from those who don't like too many numbers/equations. I suppose it comes down to preference, but worth noting that econ programmes are quite essay heavy too!
EngDes is one of the more flexible engineering degrees, I don't see many of them around but the guys I know doing EngDes have a lot of fun which is good. I can't tell you much about the course unfortunately
Yes!! Goldney is real nice and they have amazing gardens, which I imagine will get good use given the whole COVID situation! I personally preferred living in the city as a Londoner who needs to have Tesco on my doorstep, but Goldney (and Clifton based halls in general) are very easy to recommend
Hi Jordan :) Thank you for your informative vid mate, awesome stuff! I’ll be following an MSc in Data Science this October, maybe you could kind of share your views on this course? thanks!!
Hi Nikola! I'm glad you liked the video 🤝🏽 unfortunately I don't know much about your course and I'm reluctant to even share my current views based on the coronavirus situation, but Bristol seems to take care of their masters students quite well and our SCEEM (School of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Engineering Mathematics) building is state of the art with great facilities and very smart people. I'm sure you'll have a good experience, but with the social distancing and all...
@@jordanebert3313 Thank you for taking the time to reply with an informative opinion bro ❤ In these unprecedented times, it would be silly to think that the virus won't affect the uni experience, so I share your point. We'll see how it goes, hoping for the best. Until then, keep safe and take care. And hey maybe we'll bump into eachother on some random rainy day, you never know hahaha 😃
@@nikolaglushkov93 Hahaha that's actually a lot more likely than you'd think considering we share a building! I spoke with my tutor earlier and he told me MSc Data Science is actually a new programme starting this year, so there's not much information to go off but he said it was in very high demand and the lecturers are very advanced in the field if that's anything for you. If I hear anything else I'll let you know, but until then keep safe too and enjoy the rest of the summer 🙌🏽
hi jordan , hope u are doing well , i am an international student , i really wannaa pursure software engineering from uni of brisol , i even ave options like southampton.. can u please advice
Hey Himangi! I'm going to need more context here, which stage of the application process are you at? What do you study? Software engineering (or computer science) is a great degree with many career prospects, it's not the easiest but it's well worth studying, both Bristol and Southampton are good uni's, Bristol is rated higher but I think Southampton has a better 'student satisfaction' score
@@jordanebert3313 hi , i am in my last year of high school gonna apply for 2022 sept fall , i am rally confused with bristol and southamptan computer science and software are completely different , i dont mind rigorous studies but i want to ask about the opportunities given in them , like hackathons and all ..
I can't really speak about Southampton as I don't study there but Bristol has a lot of opportunities and hackathons for all year groups. We don't have a software engineering course, but our computer science course is one of the best and out graduate opportunities are very good, we even have an integrate careers office within engineering that offer plenty of exclusive opportunities, so you'd have a great time at Bristol
I've actually been working on a video for this 😂 without rent I spend about £15-20, but that's cause I meal prep and don't do many activities that cost money, plus I uses reward points wherever I can! I think a realistic budget is £30-50 for people who shop weekly and buy lunch on campus
Where did you buy that shirt? 6lack is one of my favourite artists lool I'm gonna apply to Bristol hoping for a contextual offer, I am eligible so wish me luck. Thanks for the informative video :)
I got it from his tour 😂 best of luck with your application! I knew a couple CS & Elec grads who generally enjoyed the course, but it's quite a lot of work. Usually they say it feels like 70% CS and 70% electronics instead of a 50/50 split, so expect to be quite busy! Still a good degree from a great uni, just worth considering the workload and what you really expect to get out of uni
They're both great unis but it really depends on your course and your own preferences, I think Bristol is a bit more lively as a city and generally a higher ranked uni, but it's worth visiting both cities if possible and attending open days
There is, I think Bristol has one of the highest private school to public school ratios, but it’s not really that much of a problem. Coming from London, something I noticed more was the amount of people from London! For me personally, after I made my group of friends (coincidentally, all from public schools) I stopped engaging with people as much and, naturally, there’s no way to know who went to what school just by seeing them around on campus
Oh cool, thanks. I am interested in the electrical and mechanical engineering program, do you know of anyone doing this joint honors and weather they are enjoying it?
@@allanrotich5378 Sadly I don't. That degree was only introduced two years ago so there aren't many 'meche' students around, but the cohort is quite small so it's easier to cater to, I haven't heard anything negative about the course so I'm sure it's fine (or at least as good as any other eng degree)
I applied for reproduction and development Does the think big scholarship apply to all please because I’m asked to pay deposit prior to announcement of the winners of the scholarship
It is, I have a job on campus within the inclusion team and we're doing loads to build and maintain spaces for people of colour! Bristol itself is very diverse too, even for someone who lives in London I find Bristol to be quite familiar
Hey man, I’ve never been to notts so it’s hard to say, but I’ve heard great things about it. I think Bristol edges it out in terms of quality of education but students seems to have more fun in Nottingham, either uni is a great choice! Employers generally pick Bristol grads over Nottingham grads (which is something to consider) but you’ll be fine wherever you go realistically, I recommend you attend some open days if you haven’t already
@@Rockandrollsb Just based on opinions from the people I know who study there. I suppose by "fun" I'm referring to the typical "fun" metric for students, being nightlife and societies. If you enjoy staying in and watching a movie then I'd put Bristol ahead as it's a bigger city with better food delivery options 😉
Jordan Ebert ahhaha I get you 😂 but yeah I’m applying for vetmed so both courses are very similar.. so atm just looking at where I’ll be happiest spending the next 5 years :) I’m more of a sociable person so love going out ☺️ thank you !!
Where do you live now? Idk if I said in the video but I’m from west London & Bristol is very much like home lowkey, definitely much better than most other UK cities 🤷🏽♂️

@@iGizmo3 Bristol or Edinburgh which one do you do think is better for masters ?
They're both great unis but it really depends on your course and your own preferences, I think Bristol is a bit more lively as a city and generally a higher ranked uni, but it's worth visiting both cities if possible and attending open days
@@jordanebert3313 its history. I am referring to QS ranking and Edinburgh ranked higher there so I am a lott confused.
What’s it like coming from a public school, is there loads of private school students?
There is, I think Bristol has one of the highest private school to public school ratios, but it’s not really that much of a problem. Coming from London, something I noticed more was the amount of people from London!
For me personally, after I made my group of friends (coincidentally, all from public schools) I stopped engaging with people as much and, naturally, there’s no way to know who went to what school just by seeing them around on campus
in the uk a public school means a privet school btw, you mean state school
Which engineering degree are you doing?
MEng engineering maths
Oh cool, thanks. I am interested in the electrical and mechanical engineering program, do you know of anyone doing this joint honors and weather they are enjoying it?
@@allanrotich5378 Sadly I don't. That degree was only introduced two years ago so there aren't many 'meche' students around, but the cohort is quite small so it's easier to cater to, I haven't heard anything negative about the course so I'm sure it's fine (or at least as good as any other eng degree)
Jordan Ebert alright cool, thanks for the reply. Video was really helpful.
is this what you wanted?
yeah mate, I'm from South Africa and this has really helped me get a better idea of what it's like to possibly study in Bristol one day.
@@mogaletsebane5024 glad you found it useful 💪🏽
what is your insta?
There's a link in my bio! Otherwise my handle is @_ebertj
I applied for reproduction and development
Does the think big scholarship apply to all please because I’m asked to pay deposit prior to announcement of the winners of the scholarship
I have no idea! You're going to have to contact either your admissions office or the funding office to find out how it all works
@@jordanebert3313 alright
Thanks
is it diverse?
It is, I have a job on campus within the inclusion team and we're doing loads to build and maintain spaces for people of colour! Bristol itself is very diverse too, even for someone who lives in London I find Bristol to be quite familiar
Hey, do u believe bristol is better than nottingham?
Hey man, I’ve never been to notts so it’s hard to say, but I’ve heard great things about it. I think Bristol edges it out in terms of quality of education but students seems to have more fun in Nottingham, either uni is a great choice! Employers generally pick Bristol grads over Nottingham grads (which is something to consider) but you’ll be fine wherever you go realistically, I recommend you attend some open days if you haven’t already
i have this problem too, literally can't pick between them
@@jordanebert3313 how come you think notts is more fun? thank you
@@Rockandrollsb Just based on opinions from the people I know who study there. I suppose by "fun" I'm referring to the typical "fun" metric for students, being nightlife and societies. If you enjoy staying in and watching a movie then I'd put Bristol ahead as it's a bigger city with better food delivery options 😉
Jordan Ebert ahhaha I get you 😂 but yeah I’m applying for vetmed so both courses are very similar.. so atm just looking at where I’ll be happiest spending the next 5 years :) I’m more of a sociable person so love going out ☺️ thank you !!
only thing stopping me from coming is the lack of diversity and publci transport . im a city girl man
Where do you live now? Idk if I said in the video but I’m from west London & Bristol is very much like home lowkey, definitely much better than most other UK cities 🤷🏽♂️
@@jordanebert3313 south east london
@@leahb483 yuck like bromley? 🤢 a lot of my friends in Bristol are from south tbh
@@jordanebert3313 wdym yuck?... and no kent.
@@leahb483 Bristol is a better city than Kent. So dw 😂
