What students say about policy-studies

It's very chill , in central london and the subjects are very interesting and decolonial. The lecturers are very good at what they do. It is lacking in huge university events and festivals with most being arranged by societies very rarely.

What students say about policy-studies

As an international student, one of the most rewarding aspects of my university experience has been the supportive and student-friendly environment. Adjusting to a new country and education system can be challenging, but the university’s approachable faculty, student services, and peer support made the transition much smoother. The staff are always willing to help, and there are numerous resources available to assist with academic, personal, and cultural adaptation. The university’s inclusivity is another key strength. It celebrates diversity and provides a space where everyone feels respected and valued, regardless of their background or nationality. This inclusive atmosphere has helped me build meaningful connections and collaborate with people from all over the world, enriching my learning and broadening my perspective. Furthermore, the welcoming and accessible environment has made a huge difference. From orientation events to student societies, there are constant efforts to make international students feel at home. The campus facilities, online learning tools, and support services are highly accessible, ensuring that all students can participate fully in academic and social activities. If I can point out something that can be improved is Food. It’s funny how something as simple as food can make such a big difference in how “at home” you feel in a new country. Encouraging more international food options on campus or hosting cultural food events could make a meaningful (and delicious!) improvement to student life.

What students say about policy-studies

My experience at uni has been mostly positive. The course is engaging and the practical elements make it more interesting. Many lecturers are supportive and the facilities are helpful for studying. However, communication and organisation could sometimes be improved, as information can occasionally be unclear or late. Overall, it’s been a good place to learn and gain experience

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 policy-studies

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.

Best thing is the fantastic 24/7 library that's not just resourceful but also incredibly welcoming with even overnight snacks there for those who spend their time at the library at night! I wish the university had more student accommodation on offer for the international students.

What students say about policy-studies

My initial reasons for joining were simple. I was drawn to the community; on my open day, I saw a diverse range of people and felt it was a place where the average person from a working-class background could feel comfortable and part of something. I also loved the university's layout. It's tremendously large, with a charming little interior garden and various communal spaces. At times, it felt almost too big, but over the years, I turned finding its many hidden corners into a personal game. And let's not forget the labs—incredibly huge and spacious, yet still cozy. I remember late winter afternoons, running a routine reaction while staring out the massive windows. In those moments, everything felt tranquil and perfectly in place. However, that was just the beginning. The real reason the undergraduate Chemistry program at London Met is so great is the academic staff. Their dedication, the time they invest, and the lengths to which they will go to help you are absolutely unparalleled. You aren't just a number or another face; you are someone they look after. They share every opportunity with you—bursaries, placements, training, and so on—constantly pushing you in the right direction and enabling you to collect achievements throughout the short journey of your BSc. It isn't always easy; there will be moments of stress, anxiety, and insecurity, but remember that everyone is there to help you succeed.

What students say about policy-studies

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.

What students say about policy-studies

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.
