What students say about engineering-physics

Overall, it’s a fantastic place to study because of the quality of teaching, the welcoming community, and the range of opportunities available. One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the strong sense of community. The supportive environment among students and staff makes it a genuinely great place to study. Lecturers are approachable, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their subjects, which makes learning engaging and motivating. The course structure is well-designed, balancing theory with practical application, and it prepares students effectively for future careers. Increasing access to wellbeing and academic support services during peak assessment periods would make a significant difference. Expanding quiet study spaces during exam season would also help accommodate the higher demand. With improved communication and slightly more student-focused flexibility in administrative processes, the experience could be even better.

What students say about engineering-physics

Aberystwyth is a great University for Computer Science. I was a career changer with no experience coding before coming here and the course taught me everything I needed to gain a placement with a AAA game studio. I wanted to write this review because I remember looking for Universitys when applying and wondering if Aber is good. I saw a review saying that the course didn't prepare them for the Industry at all. I strongly disagree. As someone who didn't come from an ICT background and didn't code at all before, I can tell you you will learn everything you need. Just go to your practicles! Truth is because it's Computer Science attendence is low, and students who don't do the un-assesed practices and coursework will have a hard time. If you want to go to a Uni though where lecturers care about you, take the time to talk to you and are invested in your success it's a great choice. Aberystwyth also has good ties to the industry and goes out of its' way to get students career ready. If you want to know where students end up just look up the Uni on linkedIn. Aberystwyth has gotten rewards for its' teaching repeatedly, and rightfully so. Yes, it's not a Russel Group University and prestige is not on the same level, but if you're engaged and want to learn the skills and have great lecturers and an active student life (because there is really nothing else to distract you from your studies in Aberystwyth) it's a great choice.
