Really cute campus, great first year accommodation! Buildings are gorg and it’s in a great location for transport and town. Only downside is lack of student support from actual course leaders however many lecturers compensate for that, I can’t celebrate the literature lecturers enough!

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

Best is socials! I’ve joined the swimming club and the team are great, lots of training available with good coaches and fun nights out. I’ve made so many friends. Worst is the food in campus is quite expensive. There are free breakfast schemes sometimes but not enough and the cafes aren’t really subsidised.

What students say about life-science

Wembley is an amazing place to study. It is the most iconic stadium in the country, where all finals take place, so to be studying there it feels absolutely amazing. You get to meet loads of different professionals in sport and get so many chances to experience lots of different things. We get given so much support from lecturers and the services involved with the uni. The lessons are really engaging and are so interesting and unique. It may be different to the typical uni experience. But I don’t think any university has so much to offer with experiences and job opportunities and chances to build up your CV

What students say about life-science

The best aspect for me is the lecturers. Everyone I’ve met so far has been very professional, polite, fair, and helpful. I strongly appreciate how much they contribute to students’ progress, and the fact that they are always ready to help - even when it goes beyond their responsibilities - makes me respect them even more. I had the opportunity to learn from lessons, which was a genuinely wonderful experience. The worst aspect is the lack of facilities and additional lessons. Sometimes it is difficult to find an available time slot to book a room or a tutorial. Tutorials are also quite short, and sometimes there is not enough time to properly discuss certain questions.

Best: it’s a grate place to meet new people from all over the world. Worst: the university doesn’t prioritize student support especially in making thing like mitigating circumstances seem less daunting than it actually is.
