Psychology (Sport, Health and Exercise) with Placement - BSc (Hons)

The psychology department is close to perfect. They listened to our concerns when we were im 1st year, and changed things in time for the new first years. All feedback is taken seriously snd into consideration. A teacher that was reported by students effectively received a verbal warning, proving again they do listen. The modules are also interesting and most professors hold interactive lectures & are very friendly and open to meet and speak more during office hours for anything. However, i dont recommend the accommodation. Not only do you risk bad roommates, but the dorms are susceptible to silverfish, mice etc. not to mention the constant fire alarm drills at ridiculous times (eg 2am/3am) on a SCHOOL night. Student union and societies are super active, and theres plenty of sports societies (girls and boys separated for most), some even play nationally. Security is good. Again, concerne are taken seriously.

The best experience so far as been the sports facilities as they are amazing but the problem with some of the sports like weightlifting is that they start and end very late so I can't go to them even though I wish I would be able to just to try it

Our campus is amazing as it’s all together rather that scattered across London the way some other universities are. One other thing that I consider the best, is the staff. The staff are so supportive and so kind, they truly care about students and about students excelling. The worst aspects I would say are the fact that I’m not always sure till what time the library works and where to find that

So far as a first year Master's student, Brunel has been a very lively community. There are many clubs and events hosted to get students together. With venues like Locos, it makes socializing with your friends very accessible. There are also a lot of support programs to help with academic skills and personal endeavors. I will say, I wish there was more events for postgraduate students to get to know each other. Overall, Brunel has been a positive experience thus far.

The support of the whole university to students is great. Especially for the foreigner students, there are a lot of options and support. There are so many activities every week for students thanks to the Students Union. I am currently accommodating in the campus, there are lots of halls for students and it is a great opportunity to be able to stay in campus. The single negative thing for me is the location of the university is at least 1 hour far away from the central London. Therefore sometimes it is hard to reach the central.
