What students say about comparative-literature

Badminton has been amazing. In my first year I was worried and honestly didn’t like the uni. But once I took the risk and put myself out there and jumped into it I found my people. When you go to new places it scary. But that’s what makes it so rewarding.

What students say about comparative-literature

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 comparative-literature

for my department, we have very good lecturers from all over the world with a range of experience, they're very friendly and really want to help, because of the diversity of the staff, you will always find someone you either vibe with or is super helpful in a specific problem you have, they're really down to earth. Theres always things to improve on, the most notable of which is just the types of study spaces, though the workaround is just walking into any random room in a building that isn't being used, and that solves the issues i have with the library etc, there are printers everywhere and yeah, not much to complain about Except one thing though, if each lecturer had the same way they set up their QMPLUS that would be good, as some lecturers have very well organised and informative QMPLUS pages while others do not, just so you know the QMPLUS page is where you can find all your lecture recordings, tutorial problems, semester plan and other info on the course,

What students say about comparative-literature

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

What students say about comparative-literature

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.

What students say about comparative-literature

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.
