Over 35,000 reviews are submitted by real students to Whatuni, all about universities across the UK. These reviews form the basis of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards, which celebrates the excellent work that institutions do to support students through their educational journey, and help future students find their future uni. 

This year, the winner for the Whatuni Student Choice Awards lecturers and teaching quality category was Aberystwyth University

“All the staff are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and motivated into helping you achieve your full potential. They teach and encourage ways of thinking, rather than a step by step method. There is a good number of contact hours, with most modules having at least a couple of hours teaching every week. The facilities are amazing, and the tech team are particularly amazing at helping students to use the facilities to create.“ – Student review on Whatuni

What to look for in lecturers and teaching quality at university 


At the core of your university experience will be the teaching you receive from your lecturers – it’s often one of the main reasons why students pick a particular uni or course. How balanced a course is between theory and practice, how passionate lecturers are, the impact of the lessons – these all feed into how students think about this category. Not only does it include the teaching within the lecture hall, but also constructive feedback on your work too.
