What students say about microbiology

Great place to study due to its historical ties and the prestige of its education. However, it does leave a lot to be desired in other aspects of uni life, such as its students' union and its organisation.

What students say about microbiology

Best experience: a lot of student space when studying out of hours Worst experience: Student food is very expensive, it is well known that most students can not afford luxury goods, as most are not dependent on their parents but are not able to have a full time job, yet to have a nutritious meal you need to spend like you have money, majority does not have the privilege to enjoy two nutritious meals a day and the access we have to food in the university does not help

What students say about microbiology

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

What students say about microbiology

It is a great learning environment with many modern and innovative buildings throughout the campus. I personally have found strathclyde to help me develop my skills in not only my degree subjects but so too with my confidence, communication and interpersonal skills. If i was to improve strathclyde i would say they could make the union bigger and expand services such as cafes and restaurants throughout the campus.

What students say about microbiology

It's really great because the modules are interesting and the content is accessible. Teachers are supportive and societies are good. It could be improved by being more true to its environmentalist message considering its acceptance of Ai. Also on campus accomodation has some reoccurring issues with showers going cold due to the heating aspect of the showers being old.

What students say about microbiology

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself
