History - BA (Hons)

University of Liverpool

Great campus and student life experience! On occasion, facilities are outdated/ retro and can feel dirty but overall generally well maintained.

The people make it great along with the city & nightlife, some of the campus looks a little dated and some teaching/seminar rooms are a little small for the class.

The atmosphere at Liverpool is so inviting and welcoming. I made friends within the first few weeks that I'm still friends with 18 months later and I felt at home really quickly too. The lecturers are all passionate about their subject and provide excellent feedback in assessments. They're also always open for further discussion if you want or need it. The range of module options on my course (History) is exemplary, though they do tend to skew towards being more modern or ancient in focus; if you only want to study medieval history, there are certainly some really interesting options but they're less abundant than their modern counterparts. If I had to talk about any negatives of my experience, it would probably be that attendance can be quite low, as you're rarely chased down for missing lectures or seminars. If you're someone who attends everything then this is less of an issue, but it can make in-class discussion more limited if there are less people present.

Great place to study: - Diversity of students - Assignment extensions - understanding that students may have overlapping assignements/home issues that delay their ability to submit an assignement on time (7 day extension) - Different type of exams (essays, in person, group projects) I believe my skills are expanding - The University always provide opportunities for work experience, talks with experts - they dont just focus on your education in university but ensure you have the experience for after Improvements - Timetables of students - especially for a commuter myself having one lecture on one day rather than a full day. - Seminars - sometimes I find their content to not align with what im doing for my exams .

I think the campus is great, there is a nice vibe, I just think the accommodation could be improved as I didn’t get any of my options I applied for and ended up in one that I haven’t really enjoyed. When I went on a open day last year in March they were doing tours for crown place but it was all booked up anyway by people who had already sat their alevels and got their results which I don’t think is very fair. There aren’t many options and they’re very expensive. Melville grove was the cheapest but wasn’t even that cheap for what you get
