Physics degrees in North West England

The staff are easy going always ready to help, the park is beautiful, Peel park, got here September 2025 and so far nothing negative, what impressed me the most is I can just have a quick chat with my lecturers about anything bothering in my education and personal life, as an international student it feels so welcoming, too bad I have to graduate lol

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

This is my 2nd week studying at UOM I’d say the best aspect of uni experience so far is being welcomed as an international student got lots of support academically and personally. Worst maybe the lectures are more of self taught which is fine as I’m doing a postgraduate degree.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

The syllabus is good. Good balance of coursework to exams. Campus is close knit and has many nice buildings. Timetable can be frustrating especially if you live from home. Some lecturers are great but others were disappointing. Facilities are alright but I can’t think of any innovative or particularly impressive examples. Every year there has been a serious problem with at least one exam (missing information, misleading wording). The value for money you get by paying tuition to do a year in industry on the ‘with year in industry’ courses is terrible.

I started the BA Photography course in 2018 and finished in 2022. I found the modules interesting, and we had a good mix of arts and more commercially orientated guest speakers. The tutors were incredibly helpful and supportive and did their best to provide engaging sessions despite the disruption of covid19 during my studies there. Resources are good with plenty of studio space, a big Mac-based editing room, and a massive dark room (B@W plus colour possible). Technical support is excellent too. Certainly worth considering for an undergraduate-level photography degree.
