I absolutely love Queen Mary.One piece of advice that I would give, is to make sure you take advantage of everything that's on offer at the university. There is a lot you can do, you just need to make the effort and get involved!

Uni is ok, it's just a lot of hard work.Make sure that you attend the lectures. Uni is a lot different to school in that you aren't registered when you attend lectures, so you have to make sure you are independent and work hard.

Uni is great! The uni residence are really helpful and friendly. Students should definitely come! The uni really looks after you!There is a huge range of subjects that the uni offers, so there is definitely something for everyone.The only criticism that I would make, is that the uni doesn't put up the reading list early enough and at the start of the year I do feel like I'm always lagging a bit behind, but I put in the hard work and soon catch up.I would definitely say that QM is highly under rated. The education and quality of the courses are excellent, and the uni isn't given enough credit

I absolutely love my time at uni so far.All I would say for students that are thinking of coming to Queen Mary, or are due to start soon, would be to make sure that you work hard from the first year, and enjoy your time at uni!In terms of getting a place, make sure you get relevant work experience, and write it down on your personal statement, but don't stress too much about getting a place, as QM is quite lenient.

I'm enjoying my uni life, however in terms of the workload, some of the lecturers expect you just to know it all! So make sure you do all the background reading, because if you don't do it, or make an effort to understand it yourself, then you will fall behind very easily - at least make sure you read the abstracts!Being an international student, I do find the fees really expensive, and I would recommend other international students to visit before coming. I would also tell them to think about doing a foundation year prior to your actual degree. It definitely helped me feel more confident.

Swansea is an engineering based university. The reason why I wanted to be in swansea is because they are in collaboration with the bloodhound project (1000mph car). The car is planned to set a land speed record and students can work on the bloodhound project in their 3rd and 4th year. This is the best experience any student can expect to start their careers with. A very unusual thing I have noticed about swansea is that the fees for the courses is low compared to many other universities. The accommodation is great and the fellow students are friendly. Swansea is the best university for any student to be.

Probably everyone has mentioned this about the student village that its far from the campus, but yes it is. During the breaks between the lectures there is nothing to do on campus. The cafes are filled with all the students and there is no place to wile away the in-between time. There are no student waiting rooms on campus. Living in the student village is super fun but studying here can be a serious problem. Someone or the other is having a party around and its hard to concentrate. Also there are not enough food joints nearer. The ones which are near have a very limited menu and can get boring too soon. But this is the student life and I am throughly enjoying it so no more complaints.

Swansea is a very weird place. The weather is not too cold unlike other cities, thanks to the beach. The student village is a good place to stay, but soo many students being there, often fights crack out between students. The only option from the student village to the campus is by bus but there is a huge line for the bus during mornings. It takes a lot of efforts to walk up and down hill to reach the campus and back and plus its a long 50 min walk. The accommodations are perfect and if given a chance anyone should choose on campus accommodation.

I am studying aerospace engineering in swansea and I am somewhat satisfied with the course. Some what satisfied because I feel that some modules are not essential for my career line and just add up as extra pile. The order in which math is taught is a bit odd. The complex topics are covered first and then the basic topics are covered later. Swansea is a really beautiful city and with great accommodation. The only thing lacking was if the student accommodations would have a beach view. Yeah, the beach is really near to the campus. I am enjoying my time here and I look forward to further years here.

Swansea is a very friendly city. The university is very dynamic and focused on specified targets. The thing i like about swansea is the vibe around the campus. Living in between so many students is just amazing. The thing I don't like about swansea is that I am totally helpless at odd hours, if I need anything or if I am hungry nothing is open till late. If only i wished that the only shop on campus would be open up till late. The library and a PC lab is open so if one wishes to work on a assignment till late, thats of no issue. In all swansea has a great reputation as a university and a city as well.
