What students say about area-studies

Very good and stimulating environment Even at a Master's level, you still have people who do not participate in the group works and are passive "collaborators" no matter what you try to do to make them feel included, they are just not interested.

What students say about area-studies

I think the lecturers are great and there’s lots of good support for students with support plans. However, I think I would benefit from weekly (instead of fortnightly) seminars as I feel as if I do not get to properly engage in fortnightly seminars.

Best aspects are the people and the night life at the university- with it being so small you’re able to find someone you know easily. Worst aspects- general location, accommodation is maybe a 30 minute slope walk from town and shops which makes it hard to travel after shopping

What students say about area-studies

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)

What students say about area-studies

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

What students say about area-studies

The best part about my uni experience is meeting new people, and being able to to specialise in specific Areas. Not only that but getting taught be people who actually know what they are talking about is very helpful as they are able to tell us about the industry from their perspective. The course is really interesting and is always a welcome challenge.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

My experience at Brunel University is very different from any other student, I would guess. As a mature student, I have other life commitments, and don't spend as much time on campus. However, whenever I needed the support, I had a very satisfactory level of support.
