Developmental Psychology BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

I enjoy the location, but it can be far away from city centre! I've heard a mixed view of the student support, with an okay experience myself. I also feel like whilst the facilities and union are good, the actual buildings could be updated.

T Middlesex University is awesome! The student life here is off the charts. There are so many cool clubs, societies, and events happening all the time. You'll never be bored, trust me! And the facilities are top-notch. We've got killer libraries, labs, and sports facilities that make studying and staying active a breeze. The best part? Middlesex is right in the heart of London, so you're surrounded by all the action. The city is buzzing with culture, opportunities, and amazing experiences. Plus, our student community is super diverse, so you get to meet people from all over the world. It's like a global party every day! The teachers at Middlesex are pretty epic!They're passionate about their subjects and genuinely care about our success. They go above and beyond to support us and make learning exciting. You can always count on them for guidance and mentorship. No boring lectures here, my friend! One thing I love about Middlesex is that it's totally cool with freedom of religion. They've got chill multi-faith prayer rooms and chaplaincy services, so you can practice your faith without any worries. It's all about acceptance and respect here, no matter what you believe in. Oh, and the support services? They've got our backs, man. They offer academic support, career advice, and even counseling and wellbeing services. They want us to thrive in every aspect of our lives, not just academically. It's like having a squad of cheerleaders cheering us on! So, if you're looking for an epic university experience, Middlesex is the place to be. It's a place where you can have a blast, meet awesome people, and get the support you need to rock your academic journey. Definitely don’t regret it!

Biological Sciences BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

UEA has been great so far, I really enjoy all my lectures. There is a huge amount of support both academically and emotionally as well. The lecturers want us to succeed and are always willing to help if needed. I have made many friends and memories, it’s a very welcoming place with lots of opportunities, whether that be academically of fun. The campus grounds are beautiful, with the lake and fields a great place to walk around. There are amazing facilities here, the sports park in particular. There is a wide range of clubs and activities you can be apart of, regardless of previous experience- it’s not just the lecturers that want us to succeed it’s other students too. One of the best spots on campus is the extensive library, which is open 24/7 and is a great place to buckle down and do work, be it as a group or silently by yourself. Everyone is very friendly. I don’t know how it could be improved, in my short time here I’ve enjoyed every moment!

Birmingham Newman University

Primary Education (3-11) with recommendation for QTS BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Has a really great feel, with plenty of places to study and facilities on offer. Student support is also really good with many sessions to help with things like academic writing and referencing. It is quite close to Birmingham city centre but there isn’t many other shops and restaurants around. It’s a small university which can be a big benefit with smaller classes so you can get more one-on-one support however this also means there are less societies.

Biomedicine BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Great place to study as it’s very green and feels very accommodating to anyone here, has great mental health support and am enjoying the atmosphere here. Could improve by having the gym as 24/7 for students as sometimes it’s hard to go due to assignments/lectures etc

University of East Anglia UEA

English Literature BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Amazing location, beautiful parkland and close enough to the city centre (only a short bus ride away) without being too overwhelming. The accommodation is amazing, highly recommend staying in the village as its only a 10 min walk from central campus and the flats are so modern. Yes, campus can be a bit grey, but the greenery of the parkland more than makes up for all the brutalist architecture. People here are so lovely, you're always likely to bump into a familiar face and there's a great mix of people here. There's plenty of places to socialise and quieter spots too. Faculty are amazing, really caring and will help you with anything you need. The only major downside of being here is it's a bit of a walk to the shops. But with the local art gallery on campus, the lake, the library and everything else, I would really recommend it :)

Swansea University

Management (International Management), MSc

University rating (5)

The warm and inclusive environment, from the university faculty to the local Swansea community, truly makes you feel special and secure. This is a key reason why international students easily adapt and excel here. An area for potential improvement lies in diversifying the student body. It would be fantastic to strive for a more balanced or nearly equal representation of students from various nationalities, as it can be disheartening when a class is dominated by students from a single country.

University of Sussex

Sustainable Development MSc (online)

University rating (5)

As I study online, I can only comment on the online experience. The student portal, Canva, is easy to navigate and holds all the course material. If you need to work offline then you are able to download the material, which makes you not too wifi dependent (I often read on my commute). And how it's structured gives you full flexibility to work around the course - the only non-flexible aspect are the assignment deadlines. Which again, as you are informed from day 1 what the assignment is, you can start early and work your way through it as you study. The only thing that I would change is the online reading list on Canva, as the code is quite heavy to process and makes me conscious that students in the global south who are also studying and might have temperamental connection are perhaps finding this a barrier. The previous version was very simple and easy for the computer to process (I have an old mac)
