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

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

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 chemistry

Studying subjects I genuinely cared about was incredibly rewarding. Unlike school, university allowed deep exploration of ideas, debates, and specializations. Whether you’re diving into philosophy at places like University of Oxford or engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, that freedom to focus intensely on your interests is empowering.

What students say about chemistry

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 chemistry

My initial reasons for joining were simple. I was drawn to the community; on my open day, I saw a diverse range of people and felt it was a place where the average person from a working-class background could feel comfortable and part of something. I also loved the university's layout. It's tremendously large, with a charming little interior garden and various communal spaces. At times, it felt almost too big, but over the years, I turned finding its many hidden corners into a personal game. And let's not forget the labs—incredibly huge and spacious, yet still cozy. I remember late winter afternoons, running a routine reaction while staring out the massive windows. In those moments, everything felt tranquil and perfectly in place. However, that was just the beginning. The real reason the undergraduate Chemistry program at London Met is so great is the academic staff. Their dedication, the time they invest, and the lengths to which they will go to help you are absolutely unparalleled. You aren't just a number or another face; you are someone they look after. They share every opportunity with you—bursaries, placements, training, and so on—constantly pushing you in the right direction and enabling you to collect achievements throughout the short journey of your BSc. It isn't always easy; there will be moments of stress, anxiety, and insecurity, but remember that everyone is there to help you succeed.

Uni of Reading has a really nice campus with plenty of green space and is in a nice area of Reading that is a short walk to town, student housing is also right next to campus so easy to do for second and third year. Has a really nice library thats great for getting work done and Wednesday night union on campus is great. Accommodation on and off campus is very expensive however and in general student life is more expensive here that at other unis.

What students say about chemistry

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.

What students say about chemistry

Overall Experience:Kingston University has been an incredible place to study Fashion Design, and I’m thrilled to give it a 5-star overall rating. Best Aspects:The best part of my experience has been the world-class facilities in the fashion studios. The well-equipped sewing rooms, digital design labs, and access to professional materials like premium fabrics have allowed me to bring my creative visions to life. The location in London is also a huge advantage; being in the heart of a global fashion capital means constant inspiration and easy access to industry events like London Fashion Week. The campus itself is vibrant and welcoming, with a strong sense of community among creative students. The student support services, particularly the career guidance tailored to the fashion industry, have been invaluable in helping me connect with internships and build my professional network. Areas for Improvement:While the experience is overwhelmingly positive, the Students' Union could improve by offering more targeted events and workshops specifically for fashion and design students. More frequent industry talks, portfolio reviews, and networking mixers would further bridge the gap between academia and the professional world.
