Best is the facilities and campus- halls in first year was so great for new students. Most lecturers are great. Unilink bus should be free for all years- so expensive if you have to commute from city centre to highfield

I have loved studying at QUB, the lecturers, student support and campus life is world class

Great facilities, lively student life, and a convenient location make this university an enjoyable place to study. However, student support can be slow and some spaces get overcrowded. Improve support response and communication to make it even better.

The university has a very welcoming environment, whether that be the academic or the more social aspect of studying at the university.

My experience at University of the West of England has been mostly positive so far. One of the best things is the overall environment, it feels quite friendly and supportive. The lecturers are approachable, and I feel comfortable asking for help when I need it. I also like the facilities, especially the library and study spaces, which make it easier to focus. Being around students from different backgrounds is another great part as it makes the experience more interesting. On the downside, I think the timetable could be improved. Some days I have a class early in the morning and then another one much later in the afternoon or evening. The long gap in between can be quite frustrating and makes it hard to stay productive or manage time properly. Overall, I’m enjoying my time here, but having a more balanced timetable would definitely make the experience better.

Uwe got the most advanced technology among the universities in UK. The place Uwe is situated too big and lively that you can never get bored. Overall great Instructors and great facilities for the future students. It could be improved by strengthening connections with employers of companies to help students secure jobs after graduation.

It offers a full range of courses relating to Science. And in the course that I am currently doing, the modules have been changed to be more reflective of what employers want when you graduate, as well as it being reflective of core skills needed for almost every aspect of Biology and Chemistry.

It’s a really badly run university, exemplifies all of what’s wrong with uni, and lives up ti the adage of ‘those who can’t do, teach.’

Overall, my uni experience has been really positive. It’s a pretty new university, which shows in the facilities, and there’s a lot of support available if you need it. The lectures are generally good and engaging, which makes a big difference. That said, there have been some frustrating moments, especially with miscommunication around things like timetables—it can get confusing and a bit stressful when information isn’t clear or changes last minute. The handling of the meningitis situation could also have been better, as we only got an email quite late after cases had already been reported, which didn’t feel very reassuring. Outside of uni, Canterbury is a nice place to live and has a great atmosphere, even if it can be a little boring at times.

Best aspects of studying Psychology at NTU: One of the strongest aspects is how structured and career-focused the course is. The modules are clearly organised, and there’s a strong emphasis on applying psychological theory to real-world settings, which makes the content feel relevant rather than purely academic. The teaching staff are generally approachable and knowledgeable, and many have practical or research experience that they bring into lectures and seminars. Another highlight is the range of resources available. NTU provides good access to online journals, research databases, and study spaces, which is especially useful for assignments and dissertations. The course also gradually builds your research skills, particularly in statistics and methods, which are essential for psychology but often difficult—NTU tends to scaffold this learning quite well. The campus environment is also a plus. It’s modern, well-maintained, and has a supportive atmosphere. There are plenty of societies and opportunities to get involved, which helps balance academic work with social life. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: A common challenge is the heavy focus on statistics and research methods, which can feel overwhelming—especially if you don’t have a strong maths background. While support is available, it can sometimes feel fast-paced, and not everyone finds the teaching style in this area accessible. Another downside is that feedback on assignments can occasionally be inconsistent or not detailed enough to clearly guide improvement. This can make it harder to understand how to progress between grades. Some lectures, particularly in larger modules, can feel quite impersonal due to class size. More interactive or discussion-based sessions would improve engagement and deepen understanding. Finally, like many psychology degrees, there can be a gap between theory and hands-on experience. More placement opportunities or practical exposure (e.g., working with clients or in applied settings) would make the course even stronger for those planning careers in mental health or applied psychology. What makes it a great place overall? Strong academic structure and clear progression Good research training and resources Supportive environment and modern campus Career-relevant content Top tips for improvement: More tailored support for statistics and methods More detailed and consistent assignment feedback Increased interactive teaching (seminars, discussions) Greater access to placements or practical experience
