What students say about physics

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.

What students say about physics

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 physics

Studying an online course at the University of Wolverhampton has been a fantastic experience. The course is well-structured and offers a range of resources that make learning both accessible and engaging. The platform is user-friendly, and there’s plenty of support available, from academic advisors to technical assistance, ensuring that students have everything they need to succeed. The flexibility of studying from anywhere allows for a good balance with other commitments, making it easier to manage time effectively. However, one area for improvement could be the addition of more online meetings with facilitators. This would give students more opportunities to engage in live discussions, ask questions in real-time, and interact with their instructors and peers. These sessions could enhance the sense of community within the online learning environment and make the overall experience even more interactive and supportive.

Support Services are amazing. They go out of their way to support my peers and me. They are a credit to the university. - Lecturers are very supportive, especially with assignments University halls are in desperate need of refurbishing. Harry Law, Bateson and Rees are the main offenders. Generally, the university's estates need investment.

The best aspect of the university is its inclusiveness and overall collectiveness and community you get when you’re a part of the university and even after you have left I have seen previous alumni and staff being an active part of the community works present over here and participate in their respective events.
