What students say about materials-science

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

What students say about materials-science

Studying at Imperial College Business School for my Master's in Economics & Strategy for Business was an incredible experience. The program pushed me to think critically and strategically while offering the perfect blend of academic rigor and practical application. I was inspired by the diverse, driven cohort and had the chance to collaborate with brilliant peers from around the globe. The faculty's expertise and guidance truly enhanced my learning, and the school's location in the heart of London made the experience even more vibrant and enriching. It was a transformative journey that broadened my perspective and prepared me for real-world challenges.

What students say about materials-science

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.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

What students say about materials-science

for my department, we have very good lecturers from all over the world with a range of experience, they're very friendly and really want to help, because of the diversity of the staff, you will always find someone you either vibe with or is super helpful in a specific problem you have, they're really down to earth. Theres always things to improve on, the most notable of which is just the types of study spaces, though the workaround is just walking into any random room in a building that isn't being used, and that solves the issues i have with the library etc, there are printers everywhere and yeah, not much to complain about Except one thing though, if each lecturer had the same way they set up their QMPLUS that would be good, as some lecturers have very well organised and informative QMPLUS pages while others do not, just so you know the QMPLUS page is where you can find all your lecture recordings, tutorial problems, semester plan and other info on the course,
