Law - LLB (Hons)

Aston University, Birmingham

The best part of my university experience has been the growth that has happened alongside the degree itself. Studying law has pushed me to think in ways I never had to before. It has made me more analytical, more confident in expressing my opinions, and more resilient when things do not go to plan. Even in moments where I struggled, I realised that I am capable of more than I thought. I have also valued the independence that university gives you. You learn very quickly that your progress depends on the effort you put in. When you show up, engage with the material, and take responsibility for your own development, you can really see the difference. Some of my modules have genuinely challenged and inspired me, especially when the content felt relevant to real world issues. The most difficult aspect of university has been managing everything outside the classroom. Academic pressure, financial stress, and personal challenges can all overlap at the same time. It can feel isolating, especially when you assume everyone else is coping perfectly. I think universities could improve by offering more proactive support, particularly around mental health and placement guidance. Sometimes students need encouragement and structure before they reach breaking point, not after. Overall, my experience has not been perfect, but it has been transformative. I have grown academically and personally, and that growth is something I will carry with me beyond my degree.

It's very close to where I live, but the building is just so very ugly and probably what lowered the score. The staff are all fine; however, some just make seminars much easier to engage in.

Best - student support, employability opportunities and immense desire for excellence Worst - facilities could be improved (toilets, communal spaces etc) and more cost efficient food and services

Best part is the amount of support received from my tutors and supervisors. The worst part is that the university administration sometimes seem too lazy to work.

There are omens of areas to study and the areas vary from large desk spaces, comfortable seating, always plenty of access to charging ports etc. there’s the ability to borrow laptops as well as books in case if emergencies.
