Accountancy - Flying Start Degree Programme - BSc (Hons)

Queen Mary University of London

The uni is very open and accessible. Help if needed is very accessible and there’s lot of things going on every week that makes uni fun!

Has been very enjoyable since the beginning. Accounting and Management course has varieties of modules that help me understand accounting from different perspectives.

Best aspects is the location as East London is my favourite parts of London due to its places. You also have the Westfield shopping centre nearby just one stop on the central line from mile end. The worst parts of this uni experience was the online learning due to the pandemic, never have I felt so isolated in a time in my life which I was supposed to be experiencing the uni life joining societies and meeting new people and attending events etc. Now I'm in my third year and only have one year to experience all these things in person which is very difficult as third year the level of work load we have is tremendous with weekly assignments and exams.I honestly wish I'd taken a gap year instead to really experience the uni life most people talk about. If there's one element the uni could improve on during its pandemic is understanding the students uni experience during this pandemic, I understand the pandemic was difficult and still is for many people but one of the compromises us students were forced to due to the pandemic was our lively hood as being students of networking and meeting other fellow students learning from one another and experiencing the diverse atmosphere the university provides, especially meeting our lecturers whom we haven't even met in person. This time of our lives won't come back to us again for quite a few of us as we're not young forever and have to search for our jobs. The one thing I did not understand is how comes schools were allowed to have in person learning when university students were forced to be online, I wouldn't even mind taking a covid-19 test in such a scenario of a lockdown to have in person sessions.

Uni is great, just make sure you make the most of all the opportunities that are available and get involved in societies. Don't be lazy! But also make sure you work hard as well!

I find uni great, but it's going soo quick! Make sure you enjoy every single minute of it, and also make the most of your time at uni and all the opportunities that uni offers and the facilities. As long as you get good A Level, and the grade you need, then you will be fine.
