What students say about astronomy

It does gave students a broader knowledge on psychology and skills to prepare for Phd and Doctorate. However, i still don’t understand why we are studying statistics at high level where exams are strict based and explanations does not try to relate it to the field of psychology!

Best thing is the fantastic 24/7 library that's not just resourceful but also incredibly welcoming with even overnight snacks there for those who spend their time at the library at night! I wish the university had more student accommodation on offer for the international students.

What students say about astronomy

The best part of my university experience has been the learning environment and independence. I’ve had access to good facilities, knowledgeable tutors, and projects that push me to think critically and work in a more professional way, especially through practical and design-based assignments. University has also helped me develop discipline, self-management, and confidence in my own ideas. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds has broadened how I think, both academically and personally.

The best aspects are that the teachers are helpful and experienced and so it helps with learning, however there could be more help with exam resources such as more practice questions for the exam to get the most support

What students say about astronomy

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 astronomy

Durham is a beautiful city and university with great social opportunities. The traditions are very strong at this school. It feels today like how Oxford and Cambridge were twenty years ago. Sometimes administration can be a challenge, many people have difficulty in knowing how to pay tuition and the university is slow to respond to emails. Also, there are far too many international students and just students in general. The university’s expansion plans are causing a drop in the school’s national and international rankings and causing the university to be in danger of losing its character.

What students say about astronomy

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful

London Interdisciplinary School (LIS)

LONDON
What students say about astronomy

A community of some of the most interesting and intelligent people I know! The student body is small and eclectic, the international faculty is refreshingly passionate about teaching, and the professional network reaches to every domain I'm aware of to date. I had an incredible experience being a student here and it's set up me for an exciting, varied career. I started as part of the founding cohort in 2022. 65 students, 11 faculty members in a cool building in East London. We were the course guinea pigs which meant we got all of the benefits of 1:1 time with incredible professors who have studied, researched and taught at the top universities, but we also experienced niggles with brand new modules and the learning resources like the lack of a library or quiet space to work. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my degree. It enabled me to explore my existing interests and cultivated many more such as impact investing and surveillance capitalism which I'm confident no other degree could have done for me. This degree, like most others is exactly what you make of it and how much effort you put in. But I would say here, if you chose to do that you'll be 10x rewarded. The LIS network is incredible. They have connections across national government, NGOs, top consulting, banking and real estate firms, investors, entrepreneurs and as part of a small student cohort and graduate, you have unique access and support.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

What students say about astronomy

Studying at Imperial College Business School for my Master's in Economics & Strategy for Business was an incredible experience. The program pushed me to think critically and strategically while offering the perfect blend of academic rigor and practical application. I was inspired by the diverse, driven cohort and had the chance to collaborate with brilliant peers from around the globe. The faculty's expertise and guidance truly enhanced my learning, and the school's location in the heart of London made the experience even more vibrant and enriching. It was a transformative journey that broadened my perspective and prepared me for real-world challenges.
