What students say about translation

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 translation

Best: well-rounded, educated lecturers that are enthusiastic about contributing to our learning; lots of societies providing opportunities Worst: assessors for written assignments and PBL tutors tend to not give a level playing field for marking/educating - we don't get taught exactly the same things as the rest of our cohort, it is tutor dependent (PBL, clinical skills, etc)

What students say about translation

i believe that the student shared bathroom accommodations at university of surrey could be improved for more sustainable living snd hygiene, i also believe that every student should be guaranteed accommodation because we dont know the living situations of students, i also believe that more student accommodations should be built to also allow this guarantee to happen because the majority of students find it easier to stay on campus and it is more convenient for them, for example my self i live 2 and a half hours away from the university in hertford, the public transport is £20-30 which is extremely expensive, and i have a low income mother who is due a knee surgery, so things loke this can really support students and make students feel like they have a place to study and place to come to for support.

I’m studying in a course which is the first of its kind and I’m glad that Queer Performance is being supported by an institution. I studied my undergrad here too, I enjoy many aspects of the university. However it could definitely improve its internal communications between departments/facilities/access to materials, etc.

What students say about translation

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 translation

The University of Westminster is a great place to study because of its location in the heart of London, at Baker Street. The professors are excellent and have relevant knowledge and experience in the sports industry. We also hear from experienced guest speakers working in the industry, which gives us valuable insight into real-world careers. In addition, we go on trips to visit sporting stadiums and venues, which is very helpful for gaining practical experience and a deeper understanding of the industry. The university experience could be enhanced by organising more on-campus activities and events for students.

What students say about translation

The campus is absolutely gorgeous! A wonderful mix of old and new, castles and modern buildings. Reserving rooms encourages students to get out of their rooms and study anywhere on campus, from the top of the castle tower, to the communal "pods" at Commons. The Student Union building has a bar and a small shop, and activities going on almost every day. Karaoke every other Saturday is one of my favourites. Close enough to the city of Bath for easy access, while still having the feeling of a university town. Lots of student discounts and student bars/clubs in town, as the University of Bath is also nearby. Interesting classes, lovely lecturers and guest lecturers, and proper assessments. Few, if not none, tests, allowing for those who do not thrive with simple memorization to show off how they learn. The diversity of students encourages the broadening of your own world view. A wide range of courses, allowing for study into incredibly specific topics. The main issue with the university is the wait time for wellbeing appointments, as it can take up to four months to even get a foot in the door. This means that if you do need help, it is very difficult to achieve. Also, while it isn't the university's fault, it is important to know that the First Bus system is not very reliable, so if you have a job in town, it is quite nerve-wracking.

Lovely nature-based campus and close-knit community feel, as it is so small compared to my undergrad in Bristol. The ecology department is amazing – kind and engaging lectures and guest lecturer seminars for wider context. Improvements – bus prices are high. It would be amazing if there was a full-size pool. Dance studio access for both Exeter and Falmouth students.
