What students say about drama-studies

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 .

Chichester is a safe city/town. It’s got a really nice atmosphere to it but not the best night life. The university could do with more communication between courses, especially those in joint routes.

What students say about drama-studies

Best: “The best thing about Middlesex University is how diverse and international it is. You meet people from all over the world, which makes campus life really vibrant and gives you a chance to learn about so many different cultures.” Worst: “The worst thing is that sometimes communication about attendance isn’t very clear. It can be a bit frustrating trying to make sure everything is correctly recorded, even though you’ve attended all your lectures.”

What students say about drama-studies

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 drama-studies

It is rated one of the best universities in the UK which played a crucial role into deciding universities. The campus is wonderful with many facilities for almost every interest and hobby you could imagine, placed in nature among the trees but at the same time it is so close to the picturesque town of Guildford. This town is small but has everything that a student might need and also there are so many things that a young person could do in their free time. I would definitely recommend this university because at just 2 weeks that I'm already here I feel like being at home because everyone is so friendly here which makes being a student here feeling like being a part of a small community, which i personally adore.

What students say about drama-studies

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

It provides an awesome environment and it is multicultural university which makes it unique. For residences, university should have more residences for PhD students so that students can take benefit from it.

What students say about drama-studies

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.

What students say about drama-studies

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.
