Surveying and Planning postgraduate degrees in North West England

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

LJMU is in a great location in the city centre, all the buildings are quite close to each other so walking from your accommodation or from building to building doesn’t take long at all. Most of the buildings are modern and have plenty of space to come to and study which is great when you want to get out of your room and study without distractions. How could it be improved? The John foster building can be hard to navigate but I know it’s an old building that they can’t really change so it’s nobody’s fault!

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.

The city makes the university great. Students unions is small and lacks social facilities compared to many other unis such as leeds. It is also very expensive. The course is good but could be more practical based at times
