Great facilities with lecturers who really care and are enthusiastic about their subjects. Lots of opportunities to develop your professional skills relevant to your field and so much support from staff. Situated in a stunning location with a relatively small population, giving it a very homey feel.

Majority of teaching takes place in person with about 10 contact hours a week and lots of independent learning. Almost every week contains some kind of practical session whether that be field work, labs, or computer practicals. Modules assessed by continuous assignments throughout the year, reducing the stress of end of year exams. Wide range of content giving you introductions into lots of different areas within marine biology and oceanography. Fantastic employability department providing lots of help with cover letters, CVs, and interviews.

Beautiful coastal location just outside snowdonia, perfect for anyone with a love for the outdoors. Not much in terms of nightlife and hospitality but easy to get a train to Chester, Manchester, or Liverpool. Really low cost of living

I enjoy my course, it's very interesting and I like that I've been able to tailor my second year to my liking through the choice of my modules. I love the university's location, it's really beautiful and friendly

Good, could do with a bit of modernisation

All lecturers are extremely helpful, and you have a personal tutor who can help you anytime. Student support is also great

Very good. The town is very small and you can get everywhere on foot in a short amount of time

There are many clubs and societies, for all different tastes

I like that there are a lot of field trips where we can learn the practical side of what we learned in lectures, and that it's multidisciplinary. The thing I like least is that some lectures are in very big groups, so it's less interactive.
