English Law postgraduate degrees

The best part of my experience has been the practical approach to learning and the diverse student community, which made it easy to meet people and gain different perspectives. The course helped me build useful, real-world skills. On the downside, some areas could be better organised, and communication at times could be improved. Overall, it’s been a valuable and enriching experience.

I love studying at southampton because we each have a personal academic tutor (PAT) and mine is really helpful. I also love the draft system we have for marked essays, which give us a mark prediction for final submission as well as a lot of useful feedback for editing. I also enjoy the range of sports and societies I can join, I have tried so many new things and it's so much cheaper than trying it outside of university so I highly recommend trying some out. The campus is beautiful in the spring and summer, so many trees and flowers, lots of benches to sit out in the sun. The library is nice and big with hot water and microwaves for your pot noodles and ready meals. However, it would be nice if it was cooler inside when the weather is hotter as it can feel a bit sweaty inside. There are so many fun philosophy modules and you can choose to take a module from an external subject each semester which is a great opportunity. The student union hold events throughout the year to make friends and meet new people so if you keep putting yourself out there, you are guaranteed to meet some nice people.

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.
