The best aspect is the location, smallish campus and town makes for a great sense of community. Close proximity to London and great town centre with safe nightlife. The worst aspect is the campus aesthetic, not pretty as most of it seems to have been built at once in a brutalist style. This being said, the greenspace by the lake is lovely and the rest of campus is easily navigable.

a lovey campus and area for people not big on huge city universities, however the course has now been axed, meaning my year will miss out on key features due to no new year of students arriving next year

Best aspect is easily location. It’s close by and all the cafes and shops are close enough to grab a bit between lectures There isn’t really a worst aspect I can think of yet. It feels great to be a part of the university. I shall have to see as assessments near and the course progresses

What students say about criminology

Support Services are amazing. They go out of their way to support my peers and me. They are a credit to the university. - Lecturers are very supportive, especially with assignments University halls are in desperate need of refurbishing. Harry Law, Bateson and Rees are the main offenders. Generally, the university's estates need investment.

What students say about criminology

Firstly, the University location is good because it is near a train station, so makes it easier for commuting students to attend all their timetabled lectures, labs, and seminars. The University also have great facilities such as many scientific equipment for experiments that most schools don't have access to or can't afford it. There are also many designated areas for students to hang out in, helping create a sense of community and a way to socialise. The lectures and course directors in the CCCU'S FSESS department are amazing. They always are willing to talk to you about their subject and help in any way possible, not to mention they are very friendly and make it easy for students to feel comfortable enough to talk to them. Finally, the Science, WECS, and Geography courses are much more hands on than other Universities, and Sixth form. With a plethora of lab sessions and fieldwork to take part in every semester.

What students say about criminology

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 criminology

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

The university’s library offers a wealth of resources and quiet study zones, and also collaborative workspaces. I value the 24/7 access during critical periods; everything I need to support my learning is available. loanable laptops and specialized software, it supports cutting-edge research. Ideal for self-driven learners valuing adaptability and hands-on support. The staff are knowledgeable and the librarians go above and beyond to assist with research, and academic advisors provide personalized guidance to help navigate projects.
