What students say about mathematical-physics

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.

I think the best part is that everything is in the same place so it makes it easy to get from place to place and the worst part would be getting to the uni in the morning as i need to drive on the A720 if there was a train or tram service directly to the uni that would be alot better than the busses that take too long

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!

What students say about mathematical-physics

The campus is very green and is just a beautiful place to study and work. There is a really good balance between socialising and work, I’m able to balance playing sport and meeting up with friends with my studies, not having to compromise on much. The lecturers are very helpful and they generally explain things well, although the pastoral and careers support through our tutors could be improved. Generally I am very glad I chose to study here in Nottingham, and would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve highly in both their career and at the same time be able to have a thriving social life and overall good work life balance.

What students say about mathematical-physics

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 mathematical-physics

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.

Best - Classes and societies. I feel such passion from staff and the societies are so broad and fun! Worst - Transport and times. I rely on trains so some lessons become difficult to attend due to the trains.

What students say about mathematical-physics

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
