Government Studies postgraduate degrees in South East England

Best parts: the freedom to experiment in the course; Wimbledon is not in a distracting/busy part of the London; some connections to places such as Lyric Hammersmith (would be nice to see more connections) Bad parts: I have faced bullying and unprofessional/unproductive people in my course; the canteen is below good quality (too crowded, expensive and inconsistent quality); the course has felt unstructured and unfocused a lot of times; the student community could be strengthened more

Really great university. LSE has such a vibrant international atmosphere, and it’s location in the center of London gives you so many options! Something that stands out about LSE are the incredible opportunities given to students to attend all sorts of conferences and events that are so useful in your growth as an academic and professional. The community at LSE is so unique, it is so diverse and supportive. I recommend LSE very highly to anyone considering.

I think a student is a sum of a lot of social and academic indicators. And the University of Sussex scores well across those indicators. Starting with the location—it is located in this beautiful city of Brighton, which has so much to offer. The student union has 100+ societies catering to everyone's interests. The faculty is very strong and cooperative. The concept of being able to audit another module that is not included in your coursework is a great way of enabling transdisciplinary learning. The easy access to equipment and books makes it even easier. And the reputation of the University of Sussex for its development studies adds the cherry on top for me, since my course is around the same context. I don't have the worst, but there are some technical issues that need major backend fixing when it comes to their university app.
