What students say about social-sciences

With the SMT once again announcing a detrimental restructure to the university, roughly around 300 teaching staff are being threatened with redundancies if they are viewed as not making a 'valuable' contribution to Goldsmiths. A vast majority of departments have been threatened with teaching and module cuts, including English, once again. It is ironic that they are saying they want to make back/ save around 20 million, yet they are looking to have an AI centre whilst neglecting the humanities departments that reside at the very heart of Goldsmiths. They do not have much care for practising free speech on campus as the SMT wanted to 'arrest' the group of us that had 1.) occupied a building on campus in protest against the way the university has conducted their weak response to the ongoing genocide in Palestine and 2.) those that actually took part in the protests that occurred on campus. How can you label your university as a 'creative powerhouse' and a 'melting pot' of ideas when you've conducted yourself in such a backward manner? The welfare team has little regard for you. I had applied for a hardship bursary, yet I was met with a foodbank voucher that could only be used on the week it was issued and for a place that was miles away from accom and only open for 4 hours on a Friday. Do not come to this uni if you are seeking a place that values academic integrity and the preservation of your course; alongside your welfare as a student. It's a shock that they can even call themselves an institution.

What students say about social-sciences

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.

It's very chill , in central london and the subjects are very interesting and decolonial. The lecturers are very good at what they do. It is lacking in huge university events and festivals with most being arranged by societies very rarely.

What students say about social-sciences

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

What students say about social-sciences

I recently completed the Level 4 Diploma in Business Management from the London School of Planning and Management (LSPM), and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Firstly, the course content was incredibly comprehensive and up-to-date with the latest industry standards. Each module provided valuable insights into various aspects of business management, from leadership and strategic planning to marketing and finance. The materials were well-structured and easy to follow, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. Moreover, I was highly impressed by the support provided by the LSPM team throughout my studies. From the initial enquiry stage to graduation, their staff was always readily available to answer any queries and offer assistance whenever needed. The tutors were knowledgeable and approachable, providing invaluable guidance and feedback to help me excel in my studies. Additionally, the flexibility of the course allowed me to study at my own pace while juggling work and personal commitments. Whether it was accessing online resources or attending virtual lectures, LSPM made it convenient for me to pursue further education without disrupting my daily routine. Furthermore, the accreditation of the diploma by recognised bodies added to the credibility of the qualification, enhancing my confidence in its value within the job market. I feel equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in my career and take on new challenges in the business world. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend LSPM's Level 4 Diploma in Business Management to anyone looking to enhance their expertise in this field. It's an excellent investment in your professional development, and I'm truly grateful for the enriching experience it has provided me with.
