What students say about biology

This is my second week at swansea and the freshers week was a wonderful time for me to understand the uni and the grading systems here. There is still a lot to learn but with the support provided by the university and the approachability of the staff at SEA, unihub, union and any other person or a group is just wonderful. Will explore more of the university and facilities incoming days, but I am currently very satisfied and gearing up for my classes to start the upcoming week.

What students say about biology

It is a good campus with a gorgeous wiew and moast things any student would beed on a week to week basis on the campus itself. It is a bit out of the way it that allows the students and staff to have a cleaner air quality than of it was inside of a city. They have many animals in the walled gardens to be able to let any animal student be able to get used to holding them without any one animal being too stressed. Graze has amazing food with high quality ingredients and both vegetarian, vegan and gluten free meals available.

The location is super nice with a beach near by and all uni buildings close together. The facilities the uni has to offer are good library, ravelin sport Center. The sport clubs available are extremely enjoyable. The welfare and student support is good but could be advertised a bit more often so everyone knows what’s available and where etc

The student union is a great relief for me as an international student and I've found it really helpful in many occasions. I don't find anything unappealing till now but one thing I would look forward to have is more cultural festivals as I'm feeling very much homesick

What students say about biology

Lecturers have good knowledge on the topic they teach and are always willing to clear any of students queries. The location is very close to Belfast city center and other amenities which make travel and shopping easier. The infrastructure such as Library, labs are of top quality for student to utilize them to the fullest. What could be improved are the cost of living supports for international students and the departments understanding the curriculum differences between UK universities and foreign universities. The University can come up with more financial support schemes for these students as many of them wont be having a stable income to support themselves and their families. The heads of concerned departments should understand that the assessment criteria for foreign universities are far more liberal and easier whereas here they are more stringent. This made many of my fellow classmates to fail to complete the degree and had to go back to their countries. This is not a foreign national expect after spending more thousands of pounds as tuition fees and return to their families depressed. Immediate attention and action on this is of great importance.

What students say about biology

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.

Studying part-time for my MBA at Warwick University has been transformative, offering a rigorous academic experience with unmatched flexibility to balance my career and studies. The vibrant community and diverse cohort bring global perspectives, enriching every discussion and fostering lifelong connections. Faculty expertise and practical insights make Warwick a truly exceptional place to study, as each module connects theory to real-world impact, via case studies and engaging experts from relevant industries for knowledge sharing and exchange. While the program is highly supportive, an enhancement in digital collaboration tools (myWBS platform's live blackboard is only accessible from certain browsers on mobile) could streamline remote interactions even further, making group work and learning even more efficient and convenient respectively. Warwick’s MBA has equipped me with the strategic thinking and skills to drive meaningful change in today’s dynamic business landscape.
