What students say about biotechnology

- There is lots of student support from the lecturers and pastoral staff. - I like how my timetable is scheduled with labs soon after the lectures. I get to use what I've learnt immediately which helps consolidate my knowledge. - One thing that could be better is having microwaves on campus for students to bring their own food from home and heat it up on campus.

What students say about biotechnology

The university often hold different types of activities for students to participate, which allows students to get together and meet more new friends. Also, it is convenient to have a Costcutter on campus and a LIdl within a 10 min walking distance. Meanwhile if student needs help and went to the student hub, it often take a long time for queuing up to seek help.

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

Location: lots of the buildings are close together, easy to get to another lecture. Improvements: Bringing back the anonymous chat where u ask teachers questions throughout the lesson or just another way to be able to ask the teacher any enquires that is quick (not moodle though as everyone can see what u asked).

The sports facilities are great and opportunities at the university are so diverse for very little relative cost. The Students are amazing with amazing opportunities. The worst aspect is probably the buses with them being unreliable and crammed

What students say about biotechnology

I think a student is a sum of a lot of social and academic indicators. And the University of Sussex scores well across those indicators. Starting with the location—it is located in this beautiful city of Brighton, which has so much to offer. The student union has 100+ societies catering to everyone's interests. The faculty is very strong and cooperative. The concept of being able to audit another module that is not included in your coursework is a great way of enabling transdisciplinary learning. The easy access to equipment and books makes it even easier. And the reputation of the University of Sussex for its development studies adds the cherry on top for me, since my course is around the same context. I don't have the worst, but there are some technical issues that need major backend fixing when it comes to their university app.
