What students say about cognitive-psychology

Best aspects: The university offers a supportive learning environment with approachable, knowledgeable lecturers and engaging course content that links theory to real-world practice. There is a strong sense of community among students, and access to learning resources is very good. Areas for improvement: Communication around deadlines, placements, and administrative processes could be clearer and more consistent. Earlier information and more streamlined systems would help reduce stress and improve the overall student experience.

Southampton's main Highfield campus is like a city in a desert, its very active in the campus but outside of it the nearest facilities are rather scarce and like a 10-20 minute commute away. Facilities are very good though and the research done at the uni is very good

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.

What students say about cognitive-psychology

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.

What students say about cognitive-psychology

My worst experience has been with my transfer to CCCU from another uni. It took weeks to get my timetable and on blackboard therefore I had no access to class resources. As well as sorting out my finances with the accounts teams. However my best experience had been the Students who have helped me when I have been having technical issues.

What students say about cognitive-psychology

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.

What students say about cognitive-psychology

I have felt extremely supported throughout my experience so far. The teachers are lovely and approachable individuals who have first hand knowledge and years of experience in my subject. We have been given practical sessions to prepare us for going out into placements and the timetable makes balancing university and our outside life extremely manageable. The teachers are all very understanding and supportive of parents studying on the course and the university even have a breastfeeding room to support mothers which is fantastic. There are numerous clubs and activities going on each day so there are plenty of opportunities to learn a new skill, keep fit, and make friends. Providing a coach to attend lessons at Stone X stadium is also highly beneficial and convenient for us students that have to go there regularly. On the other hand, I will say improvements can be made in their application and interview process as it felt slightly unorganised and I had to message them a few times to keep updated on my application status. It would be much better if they actually sent communications to us applicants to inform us if we have an interview or have been accepted into the university as I often felt forgotten about during this process and it seemed as though they would only ever progress my application once I messaged them. Fortunately, now that I have been accepted, they keep me very regularly updated on what is going on in the university.
