Astronomy and Space Science postgraduate degrees

Great atmosphere and professors - they are very understanding and look out for your best interests. To improve, having more weekly classes to consolidate content and contact time with professors would be great.

People are friendly on course and tutors. Good contact time with tutors. Library really nice place to study. Need more places to have lunch in John Foster building as gets full in busy times, AR library and cafe needs more refill spaces for water bottles, better signage in John foster as it’s like a maze with no floorplans! More accessible plug sockets in rooms and lecture halls as sometimes it’s hard to find them and will need laptops all day. More seating in John Lennon building for lunches as feels like there’s loads of space but not lots of space to sit down with friends during busy times between 12-1. Issue timetables in advance to give us notice and don’t change rooms at last minute.

Best part of the uni is it's facilities like the David Wilson Library and sports centers,student union , career hub etc. Accommodation is decent, with options in the city and The Village, though the latter is farther from campus. On the downside, some buildings feel outdated, Wi-Fi can be patchy, and travel from The Village to campus can be inconvenient. Overall, it’s supportive with room for improvement.

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

The student life is great, and the campus is lovely The humanities and arts do not get enough funding and it is difficult to see the university funding expensive new buildings for subjects like Business when most of our faculties are struggling and do not have the funds to adequately support their students and pay their staff. This needs to change

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.
