What students say about philosophy

Campus life is engaging and fun if you're active; lots of choices of sports and social clubs. 3sixty club in campus is also one of best student clubbing experience I've had in the UK. Library is chic and comfortable with sufficient study spaces and books / online resource. Course content is interesting and inspiring but coursework is indeed demanding (if you are a good and hardworking student). Tutoring hours is not quite enough and most of the time you are expected to guide yourself through module content and problem solving. Disabilities support is available and of easy access but they could be reluctant to provided further assistance to students suffering from severe conditions or sudden accidents, and this could impact your studies to a large degree. However, if you are a healthy student with normal social life, it is not that difficult to graduate with a 2:1 or 1st with a bit of hard work whilst enjoying uni life.

What students say about philosophy

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

What students say about philosophy

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.

What students say about philosophy

As an international student, I struggled to find a teaching course that would allow me to study online while working a full time job. The University of Buckingham has afforded me the opportunity to study a high quality and in depth course while working full time. Their kindness and support during this process has been outstanding and has made all the difference for me. I cannot recommend them enough.

What students say about philosophy

We are in our own medic bubble and have our own bubble, events and societies. But it's too segregated from the other two universities, and can be just medicine centred the whole time which can be overwhelming at times.

I love YSJ because the staff are really welcoming, i like the food in the canteen and the feel of the uni. It could be improved by having more social events throughout the year instead of just freshers.

What students say about philosophy

My first year at Northeastern University London has been an incredible journey of growth and discovery. Right from the start, I felt immersed in a vibrant academic community where engaging with professors is both encouraged and rewarding. The close connections I’ve built with classmates have sparked countless late-night debates, study sessions, and shared “aha” moments that make learning exciting and personal. Being in London adds a whole new layer of experience—whether it’s exploring the city’s history, visiting galleries, or attending industry events, the city feels like an extension of the classroom. Overall, it’s been a thrilling first step in my university life.
