What students say about seismology

A lot of the courses aren't really standardised. Some use Moodle a lot, some don't. Though that might also be the lecturers trying to customise it to their teaching style. Lecturers are a mixed bag. Some read directly from slides, others actually try and engage with the class. Depends on what subject.

Best aspect of the University being the overall student support, and the quality of academic life Worst aspect, I would have appreciated more events organised by the University that allow new students to make connections with other students.

What students say about seismology

The facilities are great, we have access to everything we need for our coursework and more. There is a gym and loads of options for sport. The uni holds events for all sorts of holidays and activities. The student union is really supportive. There are great initiatives for sustainability. Student life separate from the uni, as far as I’ve noticed, is very nightlife based but that might just be because I haven’t explored enough.

What students say about seismology

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
