What students say about physics

The best aspect is the people that I have met, the worst aspect is the actual campus feel. Walking through the uni of Liverpool campus it feels very connected and the guild offers a great place to socialise/study but it feels much more offered to uni of students as it’s on their campus. At LJMU, the buildings are very spaced out and it feels disconnected, and there doesn’t seems to be a real student union.

What students say about physics

the location is very convienient and is very close to many shops. However the Hallam Help Desk is not very convinient and only give info that can already be found or a number that says info already on the site(s). However the teachers are helpful at saying where to get help and request specifics. The lessons are also nice as they allow conversations between the class about the subject and leszon along with help from the teachers.

Best - I like the wide range of facilities provided such as the on campus library and access to shops within the campus Improvement- more support in terms of essays and one to one support being available. Also on campus living could be improved with a more appealing social areas and better laundry services.

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

Best experience is the support in this university is remarkable. Worst experience is last minute notices sometimes with events been cancelled or things that are happening on the day so I can plan ahead.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

The best aspects of my University are that it has a great location, which is very accessible. It also offers a lot of opportunities, such as travelling abroad and careers. The worst aspects would be the signal and the Wi-Fi.

What students say about physics

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.

The staff are easy going always ready to help, the park is beautiful, Peel park, got here September 2025 and so far nothing negative, what impressed me the most is I can just have a quick chat with my lecturers about anything bothering in my education and personal life, as an international student it feels so welcoming, too bad I have to graduate lol
