Behavioural Psychology degrees in All England

The best part of studying at the University of Essex is definitely the amazing campus. There are a lot of study spots in different places, cafes, the library, the student center, lecture or tutorial rooms… The student life is amazing thanks to the campus bar and nightclub. It makes it so easy to go out and have fun with your uni friends safely!! There is always something to do, an activity planned, en event or a party, and that’s amazing. The online resources work really well, and are perfect to conduct independent study in the best conditions. If i had to say what should be improved i would maybe say first of all the fact that there isn’t a lot of visibility when it comes to exam dates : it makes it hard especially for international students to plan ahead when it comes to going home for breaks, but it also is limiting for local students in terms of organization. The tapping-in for lectures and tutorials is very practical but it makes it very stressful if you have to miss a class because you are sick for example or if you have something urgent because it can feel like you might not get the authorization to do so, and if you don’t you get absences which can endanger your visa. It is important to check attendance, but for local students who don’t have a visa it really should be their own choice to go to lectures or not. Another downside is that all activities take place on wednesday afternoons which makes it challenging if you want to do multiple things, maybe a sport, a society and volunteering : most of the time you can’t and i think it is a shame, activities should be more dispatched around the week. I think one thing that is lacking is more healthy food options on campus, i feel like they are less approachable and less present.

I come from Madagascar, an island located in the Southern African region in the Indian Ocean. In my country, English is the third language, with French as the second, and Malagasy as our local official language. Additionally, Madagascar is one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world. I earned my Master's degree in Theology from our national theological faculty before pursuing a second Master's level course at the Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide (CCCW). I am deeply grateful and honored to have been admitted here, and I extend my thanks to the CCCW Board for this opportunity. My journey at CCCW has been marked by several meaningful experiences: Despite my background, I have never felt excluded. I am welcomed as part of the community, and my classmates are genuinely understanding and supportive. English proficiency is required for students from countries where English is not the first language. I am deeply thankful to my professors and classmates for their patience, as they recognize both my efforts and my progress in achieving academic-level English. I have never felt judged, and I am committed to improving daily. Lastly, the support, guidance, and attention from the professors have been invaluable. I truly admire their dedication and the advice they offer as they assist us throughout our studies.

Really great university. LSE has such a vibrant international atmosphere, and it’s location in the center of London gives you so many options! Something that stands out about LSE are the incredible opportunities given to students to attend all sorts of conferences and events that are so useful in your growth as an academic and professional. The community at LSE is so unique, it is so diverse and supportive. I recommend LSE very highly to anyone considering.

The supervisors, Phd office, students and the university itself have been wonderfully supportive. It is easy to criticise minor issues or those beyond the universities control, but overall it is just a great place to be and study. The Students Union could improve the way it deals with people as I did not find them particularly supportive, but then maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will still give them 4 stars since they mean well.
