Area Studies degrees

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.

So far everything is fine. The lecturers are really helpful and won't make you feel insecure about your knowledge. There is just some problems oh terms of timetable management, but for now everything seems great.

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

I can get my homely environment with the staff. Our University facilities include libraries, laboratories, sports facilities, and accommodation. Libraries and laboratories Specialist libraries, Laboratories, Studios, and Workshops.

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!

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.
