European History degrees

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

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

Queen mary is an amazing university with a rather healthy and comfortable environment. Although they possess an impeccable program and reputation, I believe as a student that sometimes student support could be stronger.

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

I think on the Penryn campus, it really challenges me, especially coming from a great city and country like Singapore. I have never experienced such growth within myself since I first came to the UK. I think if it were back home, I would still be the same or a similar type of person three years later. This campus, although small and in the countryside, has really lived up to being the campus focusing on sustainability and the environment, such as how the buildings are designed to be more energy efficient and also having sufficient green spaces for students studying environment-related studies to explore and add value to their academic experience. Additionally, I think in a smaller campus, it is easier to make friends as well as bond easily within societies and in classes. Smaller groups tend to have a deeper and more meaningful experience, which really helped me be more passionate in my studies and curriculum activities. Additionally, this campus is situated near Falmouth, which is the bigger town beside Penryn, and despite it being small, it feels homely and you will definitely not feel out of place, as there are many activities going on throughout the year. One piece of advice for anyone thinking of coming here is to really find out more about this place before applying. If you are someone who really loves city vibes and just convenience in general, you might not love it as much because to get groceries, you would have to travel a distance to the superstore near campus or if you live in falmouth you would have to travel to campus by bus which is almost 20 minutes. If you are out to challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone especially if you have been living in big cities and all, I would say Penryn campus would be an ideal place for you to learn more about yourself and push your limits, and also aim to be the best version of yourself by the time you graduate.
