Anthropology postgraduate degrees in South East England

Excellent quality of teaching and a wide range of modules available. Glad I chose this university over Imperial College MPH. The campus itself is well located but a lot of the rooms are in the basement and the lecture theatres are cramped!

I love studying at southampton because we each have a personal academic tutor (PAT) and mine is really helpful. I also love the draft system we have for marked essays, which give us a mark prediction for final submission as well as a lot of useful feedback for editing. I also enjoy the range of sports and societies I can join, I have tried so many new things and it's so much cheaper than trying it outside of university so I highly recommend trying some out. The campus is beautiful in the spring and summer, so many trees and flowers, lots of benches to sit out in the sun. The library is nice and big with hot water and microwaves for your pot noodles and ready meals. However, it would be nice if it was cooler inside when the weather is hotter as it can feel a bit sweaty inside. There are so many fun philosophy modules and you can choose to take a module from an external subject each semester which is a great opportunity. The student union hold events throughout the year to make friends and meet new people so if you keep putting yourself out there, you are guaranteed to meet some nice people.

Really great university. LSE has such a vibrant international atmosphere, and it’s location in the center of London gives you so many options! Something that stands out about LSE are the incredible opportunities given to students to attend all sorts of conferences and events that are so useful in your growth as an academic and professional. The community at LSE is so unique, it is so diverse and supportive. I recommend LSE very highly to anyone considering.

I love the overall uni feeling as it is very student targeted and is lively therefore making it quite nice to socialise and study, teachers are really interesting and often listen to student feedback. That being said, student feedback doesn't have much of a meaningful impact as it is assessed quite late into the terms. In some cases, it is also looked at artificially or not being listened to at all when it comes to administrative things.

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.
