What students say about microbiology

The university is a great place to study because of the strong academic support, inclusive campus culture, and wide range of opportunities available to students. There are excellent learning resources, tailored academic support services, and an active student community supported by a vibrant campus and a lively city environment. The commitment to widening participation, student engagement, and wellbeing creates an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to succeed. To improve further, there could be more targeted support and events for commuting students, as well as greater visibility and celebration of key cultural and social events to ensure all students feel represented and included. Building on these areas would help strengthen an already positive and diverse student experience.

Best Experience - The library's 24-hour opening hours help students who fall behind in their work stay and catch up. Worst Experience - The prices at some uni stores can be a little high for an average student to shop there or buy food.

What students say about microbiology

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about microbiology

Studying at the University of Aberdeen is a rewarding experience shaped by its historic environment, natural beauty, inclusive culture, and calm lifestyle. The university’s old granite buildings reflect a rich academic heritage that inspires respect for learning, while the surrounding green spaces and coastal scenery create a peaceful atmosphere that supports focus and well-being. The cold and serene lifestyle of Aberdeen encourages discipline, reflection, and a balanced approach to academic life. A key strength of the University of Aberdeen is its multicultural and respectful community. Students from different races, cultures, and nationalities interact in an environment built on mutual respect and understanding. This diversity broadens perspectives, promotes tolerance, and prepares students for global engagement. The friendliness among students and staff further enhances the sense of belonging, making it easier for international students to adapt and feel comfortable. Academically, the university provides strong support through accessible lecturers and programs that emphasize critical thinking, research, and independence. Despite these positives, I do not see many sport activities like Tennis, Volley, Badminton and Hockey. Expanding indoor social and recreational spaces could help students stay engaged during long cold seasons. Overall, the University of Aberdeen stands out as a great place to study due to its history, natural environment, cultural diversity, and supportive academic atmosphere. With targeted improvements, it can further strengthen the student experience and its global appeal.

Study spaces get very crowded and busy. However the facilities are always clean and nice. There is a lot of student support on offer and is advertised well. The location is very nice with loads of shops and cafes near by. Transport links are also very good.

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.

What students say about microbiology

I have felt extremely supported throughout my experience so far. The teachers are lovely and approachable individuals who have first hand knowledge and years of experience in my subject. We have been given practical sessions to prepare us for going out into placements and the timetable makes balancing university and our outside life extremely manageable. The teachers are all very understanding and supportive of parents studying on the course and the university even have a breastfeeding room to support mothers which is fantastic. There are numerous clubs and activities going on each day so there are plenty of opportunities to learn a new skill, keep fit, and make friends. Providing a coach to attend lessons at Stone X stadium is also highly beneficial and convenient for us students that have to go there regularly. On the other hand, I will say improvements can be made in their application and interview process as it felt slightly unorganised and I had to message them a few times to keep updated on my application status. It would be much better if they actually sent communications to us applicants to inform us if we have an interview or have been accepted into the university as I often felt forgotten about during this process and it seemed as though they would only ever progress my application once I messaged them. Fortunately, now that I have been accepted, they keep me very regularly updated on what is going on in the university.

Not always the most supportive and clear with assignments that are due and not always as understanding something doesn’t go to plan. The vet school in Langford cafeteria is quite limited and a lot more expensive than the main campus There is also limited areas to eat and relax compared to the main campus The content is not well spaced out on blackboard you often have to go into multiple folders to find specific work
