One of the university’s strengths is its location – the campus is situated on the outskirts of Norwich in a very green area surrounded by parks and woods. At the same time, it is only a 45-minute walk to the centre of Norwich. On the downside, accommodation costs are very high – £820 for a small room in a building dating from the 1960s-1970s with a small kitchen, shared by eight people who have access to just one full-size fridge and one mini-fridge.

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

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.

What students say about modern-history

The academic support and teaching quality have been fantastic. Lecturers are genuinely passionate about their subjects and always willing to help outside of class. The campus atmosphere is very welcoming, and there are plenty of student societies to join, which made it easy to settle in and make friends. But the exam dates releases late so that it is hard for me to buy my flight tickets to go to my hometown.

The academic part is the best and the student well being part is the worst like seer academic pressure, immense amount of assignments too much to catch up with, constantly being sleep deprived, and etc. Two bottles of wine every single day.

What students say about modern-history

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.

It’s nice that it is away from the city and not too far to get to town centre with many buses going there and back. The campus is very beautiful no matter what time of year it is. End up missing out on events due to not having seen them as they sometimes get posted once or get overcrowded with other posts

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.
