Civil Engineering postgraduate degrees in Southern England

Can’t believe I’m already in my final year of Biomedical Sciences at UEL . Feels like yesterday I was sitting by the riverside at Docklands during my foundation year, watching planes take off from City Airport, it was my little peaceful escape. This course has been such a blessing – from incredible labs and supportive lecturers to the Career Zone and Mental Wealth modules that gave me so much confidence . Being a Student Ambassador made my uni journey extra special (hello public speaking skills ), and the Indian Society always brought the most colourful vibes.. And the location? Perfect. Canary Wharf, the O2, Westfield Stratford – all just a quick ride away. Honestly, UEL has been a mix of learning, growing, and making unforgettable memories .

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

Best aspects: Supportive lecturers, diverse community, and lots of opportunities to grow academically and socially. Worst aspects: Overcrowded facilities at peak times and occasional delays in communication. Overall: A great place to study with strong support, but could improve by expanding resources and streamlining services.

One of the best aspects of studying at the University of Greenwich has been the sense of community and the supportive environment created by both staff and students. The campus itself is a highlight the historic architecture and riverside location make it a genuinely inspiring place to study and there are plenty of spaces for both independent and group work. The lecturers are approachable and genuinely interested in helping students succeed often taking time outside of scheduled classes to offer guidance and feedback. I have also appreciated the range of extracurricular opportunities from societies to networking events which have helped me develop personally as well as academically. In terms of areas for improvement communication and organisation could sometimes be enhanced. There were occasions where deadlines, timetable changes or assessment guidelines were not communicated as clearly or as early as they could have been. Improving this would make the student experience more consistent and help reduce stress during busy periods. Additionally while there are strong support services available raising more awareness about how to access them could ensure more students benefit from the help on offer. Overall my experience has been positive and I feel that Greenwich is a place where students are encouraged to grow, explore new opportunities and feel part of a diverse and welcoming community. With a few improvements in communication and organisation it has the potential to be even better.

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

Worst is the limited contact time with professors. It feels really rushed which is unfortunate because there is so much to discover here and it becomes stressful when we feel like cattle who must be rushed in and out. The university itself is fantastic though. It’s incredibly inspiring to walk through the workshops, lecture halls, and library- it feels like you’re in the center of the world. Everything is state of the art and the staff is phenomenal. I just wish they cut less corners in terms of students’ ability to engage with it all.

I have not had any worse experience at UWE rather, it has been a fantastic journey so far since i started my MSC program in January. The environment is conducive for studying and there are up to date facilities to use. I believe there will be room for improvement in some places but i am not sure yet as i just started my program in January and still exploring but so far so good, it has been a fantastic journey and i look forward to many more memories at the Uni...

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.
