Environmental Science degrees in London

Best aspects: - the library has really great facilities and resources - classes are not too clustered giving you time to do independent study - lecturers are quick to respond and help - there is a variety of resources to equip students with career paths - there are a lot of guest speakers to give insight into different careers Not so good aspects: - I think the prices of coffee and other beverages can be reduced - I think the bus timetable should be more often than what it is - I think emails in preparation to starting the academic year could be more informative than they are - I think that assignment due dates could be more dispersed and not clustered together

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!

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

One of the best aspects of my experience at Queen Mary University of London has been the academic quality of the programme. The Corporate Finance curriculum is rigorous and analytical, which has helped me strengthen my technical and critical thinking skills. I also really value studying in London, as it provides exposure to a global financial environment and diverse international perspectives inside and outside the classroom. The student body is very multicultural, which makes discussions richer and more engaging. In terms of improvement, I think there could be more structured networking and career-focused events specifically tailored to postgraduate finance students. While there are opportunities available, clearer guidance and more direct connections with industry professionals would make the experience even stronger. Overall, it is a great place to study, but enhancing career support for specialised master’s programmes would add significant value.
