The Location of the uni is great since its in London but not in central which means its cheaper for transport and there are lots of Green Spaces. Its close to Uxbridge shopping centre so anything you need you can always find. Some of the facilities like the PDC (the uni's career service) are amazing, the best in the country! But other services are often a hit-or-miss depends on your luck on that day.
The course is amazing. You can personalise what you learn and bring different streams together. When you graduate you can apply for more than one field because of the different skills we learnt. IN fact, we are better equipped than most Bioscience students in different fields. We have experience in sports science, environmental science, psychology, cell biology, immunology, bioinformatics and more. Not many students can say that. We also can choose to do a module in a different field like law or even anthropology. There is the perfect mix of online/face-to-face teaching, with good quality recordings available for both (although sometimes captions are disabled). HOWEVER. this course is a relatively new course. There are lots of problems with assigning assessments & other logistical problems that students on normal courses wont have. Sometimes you won't know you have an assignment until the day before or in rare cases after its due. Sometimes we get contacted about assessments not related to our stream and other times we dont get contacted about our assessments. Because we are in so many departments we don't get to work as a cohort together after 1st year. There are two people that do the same streams as me and thats all who I communicate with. The course is small not exceeding 20 students. Moreover, professors & lecturers don't always acknowledge we exist. In a cohort of over 300 biomedicine/pschyology/computer science students no one would realize the existence of the 2-3 students from Life Science. Which means they don't always inform us of any assessments. Our assessments are usually different from other courses but we don't always get the right information. Regarding professors. Its a hit or miss. You can have amazing lecturers or the worse lecturers that exists all depending on the streams you chose. The course leader is dismissive of these problems, always finding something or someone to blame, but active when he hears something good about the course. OVERALL. The course is amazing especially if you have an interest in more than one field. However, if you are ready to stay on your toes facing course logistical problems then you would do perfectly fine on this course.
Supportive staff
Very heavy content and a lot of contact hours, but good notes uploaded by lecturers
Great uni
Great halls
i like the community
lectures don’t really help
Have better module leaders.
Have better module leaders.
Really good student support centre. Supportive and friendly campus faculty. Amazing resources in the library. Could be improved by having more face to face classes with the students (for my course).
Need more than one day for uni classes. One day a week is not enough. Need more interactive sessions with lecturers and more industry related guest lectures.
The facilities for my course are amazing and people of staff are really nice and friendly. I think there could be a indian food joint as well considering the number of students here.
In class was a very good experience to be studying hope to have the same next semester.
Amenities are good!
The campus has a nice feel to it and the location is convenient to get on the tube at Uxbridge station and head into central!
Due to the pandemic the majority of classes were taught online. This made it difficult to form meaningful connections with professors. There was also a high turnover rate of professors. However, some of the professors tried really hard to give their students a great education!
Best sport Worst labs

yes great
great
The education course is relaxed to a point where I wonder why I pay as much as more practical and technical courses like Computer Science, Physiotherapy or Games Design. But the staff and societies present in the Uni more than make up for this, though I’d like it more if I didn’t pay this much.
There’s basically no facilities for education. Despite there being a building on campus supposedly for Education, we have yet to ever use it and it’s the Second Year of our course right now.
