General Mathematics postgraduate degrees

Why do you let school kids into the UNIVERSITY library ? There is a public library 5 mins away, they don’t understand any library etiquette, I’m trying to revise for my fourth year medicine exams and they are chatting on level 5?! And let’s not even get started on level 4 which is meant to be a silent level, sounds like a socialising cafe during exam season. If you’re going to let them in , at least enforce the rules of silent study or say they can only go on one floor. They’re not paying 10K a year so how come they can use the library facilities and disrupt the people who do pay?

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.

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.

Best parts: access to loads of learning materials Worst parts: not much free activities, communication with student union isn’t great so I tend to miss out on activities which impacts my social life and mental health Also the school doesn’t provide support with finding a placement

Best aspects: The University of Leicester offers a supportive and inclusive environment that really helps students thrive. The lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the small class sizes make it easier to engage in discussions and get personalised feedback. The campus is well-equipped, with excellent library resources, study spaces, and modern facilities that make learning comfortable and accessible. There’s also a strong sense of community, with societies and events that help students feel connected and develop both academically and socially. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: Some aspects could be improved, such as streamlining administrative processes like module registration or access to certain student services, which can sometimes be slow or confusing. Additionally, while the campus has great facilities, certain areas like student accommodation or social spaces could benefit from more modernisation or expansion to meet the growing student population. Enhancing mental health support and making sure all services are easy to access online would also make the student experience even better.

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well
