THIRD YEAR

Fine Art BA (Hons)

University rating (1)

NO communication between students and tutors, tutors and tutors, or even the university and third parties such as the owners of the studios. Four works were removed by a student and then removed from a tutor without being told. (Work was put up the week before the Christmas break and I found out the week I returned) Hosted a presentation which ended with a very healthy, civilised, and friendly debate. But was later told the presentation was offensive and there was no discussion at all (was told by a tutor who never attended said presentation) Was almost given a disciplinary because the of the two reasons above. Was told the university has no free speech by a tutor (after reading the universities rules, and the LAW, turns out they would have gone against the law if I were to be disciplined) Had to attend a meeting with two tutors about the four works, was told by one that I’m and white man and therefore can’t talk about certain discussions like racism (as if I haven’t been a victim of racism myself) The same tutor had called me a white man before, as if the colour of my skin is all I am (due to this incident I never felt safe going to meetings with tutors unless I was recording the whole thing, legally I and whoever else fears they need to can) Furthermore, assumptions were made on my character despite not knowing me, some assumptions were down right sickening. Talked about the Karl Rittenhouse incident as an example of the media being either accidentally or purposefully wrong to misinform the readers. I was then called a conspiracy theorist despite all my sources either coming from primary accounts, mainstream articles, or raw data from sources like the Government. I was suggested of being far right due to my essay being pro free speech and liberty (I criticised censorship from the Church, the 20th century right wing, and compared it to woke ideology in todays world) I was able to show this tutor I’m not far right, but the fact I was labelled it is a disgrace. None of my blogs were ever read by the tutor whose literal job was to read them. This happened in my second and third year. Absolute disgrace as it explained my ins and outs of my project work, but instead of reading them I was characterised as a villain. I have also heard from several students from my year and ones before and after me, that the level of care when it comes to marking is poor. I received no emotional aid when I mentioned I had lost sleep with the name calling I had received from tutors. The university charged full price during lockdown, despite the workshops being closed. I have seen accounts from two other students who have said their work was removed. All appear to me to be because we offer either centralist or slightly conservative opinions. During the process to clear out the studios for the last exhibition, my tutor suggested we place the chairs and tables on the stairs to create a health and safety issue to therefore force the owners of the building to place the furniture in the basement (I have no idea if they went through with this but it was not said in a joking manner) I had to re-plan my end of year exhibition three times because they moved where I was to be placed. I was told by my own tutor that I would grow out of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon historical artforms. A tutor left mid-way through the year twice. A number of students and tutors presented a strong anti-Anglo-Saxon agenda (would be fine if the opposing side was welcome) The lack of teaching there is inferior to what you are taught in GCSEs. All I can say is that if you are remotely free speech, want to present Christianity in a good light, or have centralist/conservative opinions, I would stray far away from this university. Or, if you are ready for what I experienced, understand the law is on your side for free speech in universities, and I wholly encourage looking into the Free Speech Union if you are ever in the need for legal advice on said matters

Provide paid placements for international students, be critical on how you prepare your courses, be more responsive to feedback from students, provide more functioning computers and technological facilities which we depend on, easier access and manoeuvring around campus.

Legal Practice Course PG Dip

University rating (4)

Its a great place to study as it has go some great teachers who have been very helpful and on point with what was needed for exams. The library service is also great and very big without alot of resources. The location is also very good being quiet central and there are many public transport options to get there. The area has alot of eating choices around, shops and is a location which is not too busy but has everything including the Arsenal Stadium. The career service/student service and disability team are very good.

LLB Law LLB (Hons)

University rating (3)

I think is a good University, just is quite far, if this was in better location let say central London. Teacher some of them are better or teaching with better understanding, help that we received from teacher is okey. They can help more with extra lesson, or more one to one teaching. We understand that students must to revise but sometimes can be hard to understand everything!

Theatre and Performance BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

London MET is my house and the feeling of being there everyday is wonderful. The installations are one of my favorite aspects of the Uni. Like the gym, the bar, the restaurant and the coffee areas, but also our amazing library. We have multiple types of rooms for different courses and space to have a break and socialize. The team work are always friend trying to make our study journey simple and easy. There is lots of student service and programs trying to guided the student in what the need. Helping with English is something that I need and they try to help me every time. Perhaps the Uni should invest more in the events and activities from students. Most of the student are always asking about events or something. Because they spent their day life there and they love to be there. Why not making more social events... Last year we had so many. This year we want more. In general London Met is a safe and social place where you can find everything you want and is you feel at home there. The mix of students from different countries is so nice. Thanks to London Met.

International Business Management MSc

University rating (5)

I think this is one of the finest university in London and also in uk. Because they listen to there student. The teachers are highly qualified and always ready to help there student. Very comfortable and relax for international students. Even the university didn’t not bother and force us to pay fee they give us plenty of time. The teacher really help us to understand the assignment and give a brief detail that how to clear the assignment. Overall i would say. One of great university for international students

Data Analytics MSc

University rating (5)

London Metropolitan University is a very nice institution especially for international students due to the warm welcome for everyone at school. Our teachers are very helpful in all means by responding to our issues during in or out of the class. London Met has nice facilities such as libraries, sport centers like basketball court, gym and others. On the other side, what can be improved is to help students who are in STEM to get internships, and graduate roles.
