What students say about art-theory

The facilities are excellent and so is the support offered by staff, tutors, librarians, welfare support etc. The location of creative campus is beautiful and so handy for the city centre. My course is excellent and engaging.

What students say about art-theory

The best aspect is simultaneously the worse aspect which is the content. What could be improved is the African department in history as it virtually doesn’t exist. I think more needs to be done to promote African studies.

What students say about art-theory

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

What students say about art-theory

Everything about uni has been good, only downside is not having enough study space/seating in communal areas. It can be extremely difficult at times to find a place to sit and do some work between classes or even on days off.

What students say about art-theory

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about art-theory

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.
