What students say about biology

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

What students say about biology

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!

What students say about biology

The postgraduate lecturers are great at teaching and very actively willing to engage with the students on the course. The library facilities are modern and provides access to thousands of books in person and online. The negatives are mainly about the enrolment process which is long and difficult to communicate with the university during, but once that has been completed there are no issues.

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

What students say about biology

A great place to study typically offers a quiet, focused environment with minimal distractions, comfortable seating, and access to necessary resources such as books, technology, and Wi-Fi. It also fosters a sense of community, where students can collaborate, share ideas, and motivate each other. Additionally, having a well-lit space with natural light, proper ventilation, and a clean atmosphere can contribute to a positive learning experience. To improve such a place, there could be more designated areas for group work and private study, better soundproofing to reduce noise distractions, and increased access to charging stations and tech tools. Offering flexible study hours, additional seating, and more comfortable furniture could also help create a more conducive environment for different learning styles and needs.

What students say about biology

Great area and campus. Love the night and student life. Would be great to be provided with more facilities especially in the equine centre. I feel supported through my learning most of the time but sometimes get let down with certain members of staff and have been disregarded in terms of certain private issues affecting my studies recently.

What students say about biology

The course curriculum is designed well to lay the foundations of various subjects in 1st sem, and we apply those learnings during our assignments and in the 2nd sem. It is more practical learning with hands-on approach on group projects and industry collaborations in the 2nd sem. The staffs are brilliant and incredibly supportive. There are lots of facilities and societies for extra curriculars. The university is situated near the city centre and so it is in a very good location. People in the town are very kind. Overall, I am having a great experience in the university.

What students say about biology

Lots of students which gives the opportunity to make friends. Lots of activities to engage in every week which acts as a break away from work. Huge library with several resources to help me along the way. Also inspire funds with funds given every academic year which is good when U want to purchase something but may not want to take it out from your own money. Although there should be activities to do during the daytime like sports activities rather than just in the night when some students may want to head home after studies.

What students say about biology

Couldn’t be happier to have picked SRUC for veterinary nursing! It’s very practical based and really hands on which I love a lot. The lecturers are lovely and in our online (for now) lectures they make sure to try and keep us engaged and give us breaks as they know online learning can be a bit difficult and most of all they try to make it fun! If you’re looking to do veterinary nursing in Scotland I’d definitely recommend SRUC - you might be a bit hesitant at first since it’s out in the countryside and not a city but it’s definitely worth it for the practical learning than you receive on farm etc.
