Regional Planning postgraduate degrees

I just loved the course and most importantly its flexibility with the online platform. As a working mother it was like the golden opportunity to develop my career at the right place with the right people and the perfect time. The result was just amazing, I graduated with the classification of Merit, and 2 years later established my own firm based in Beirut. I am now handling projects for high profile multinational firms operating in the region. I strongly recommend UCEM as one of the most flexible educational systems for personal and career development in the build environment.

Best aspects: * Meeting people from different backgrounds and making new friends. * Learning new skills and gaining knowledge in my course. * Access to university facilities such as the library, study spaces, and student support services. * Opportunities to join clubs, societies, and campus activities. Worst aspects: * The cost of living and financial pressures. * Stress from coursework, deadlines, and exams. * Difficulty finding affordable accommodation. * Some administrative processes can be slow or confusing.

More events for masters students who are not international students as in September there is freshers for undergraduate students and events for international students but master students are often forgot about or given a master’s mingle but that didn’t encourage interaction. I think societies and clubs should have the option to join online and have times and location posted as I have found it very difficult to join societies as most have no information posted which is poor and not encouraging

The Best: Any clarity on studies, student life, mental health, physical fitness was easily approachable and helpful. Professors are very kind and knowledgeable. When questioned correctly they are ready to help at any extent. Access to library and fitness is very useful and maintained promptly. Ambience and location of the university is perfectly held.

I so far really enjoy my course, I would say the location and general feel make it better than any other option, the variety of places I can just relax and sit down or to study is really nice. If I was to point out any negatives it would be with occasional lessons that have 2 or 3 hour gaps between which feel slightly disjointed

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.

It does gave students a broader knowledge on psychology and skills to prepare for Phd and Doctorate. However, i still don’t understand why we are studying statistics at high level where exams are strict based and explanations does not try to relate it to the field of psychology!
