What students say about oceanography

One of the things I love about my University is the accessibility of different resources and how you can get everything you need within a 10 to 20-minute walk. While it does rain quite often, I also love the climate and the landscape especially in my accommodation, which overlooks a cute little golf course. One of the things I am not very fond of, personally is the fact that the weather can make me feel low and depressed easily which has been a common occurrence, but that too is not so much a University thing as it is personal and geographical. To be frank, I do not have much to complain, if at all, about my time here in Bangor University.

What students say about oceanography

The best aspects would be the wide range of societies for students to join! The worst I believe would be the lack on promotion on what there is to do and what is accessible for students, such as public lectures or different rooms that can be used by students that i’ve learnt recently.

What students say about oceanography

The course curriculum is designed well to lay the foundations of various subjects in 1st sem, and we apply those learnings during our assignments and in the 2nd sem. It is more practical learning with hands-on approach on group projects and industry collaborations in the 2nd sem. The staffs are brilliant and incredibly supportive. There are lots of facilities and societies for extra curriculars. The university is situated near the city centre and so it is in a very good location. People in the town are very kind. Overall, I am having a great experience in the university.

What students say about oceanography

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.

I've loved studying at the University of Plymouth so far! Staff are really friendly and have always been really happy to help. The SU is great for relaxing between lectures during the day as well as for clubbing on a Saturday night. I'm also really enjoying my course and Plymouth is in a great location to try out fieldwork in different habitats.

What students say about oceanography

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

i love how social it is, that it's all one campus and there is always something going on. I don't think there are enough study spaces (group/social ones in particular), oftentimes it is really difficult to find a space unless you go early in the morning and get one.
