Great staff, well planned lessons and courses Improvement- wider lunch options, charging ports in lecture rooms
The professors are the best part along with the student union and the facilities No “worst aspects” come to mind overall so far I am enjoying the uni life
I think they should have more events. The community and teachers make it a great place to study
The university is inclusive and tries to offer support to everyone which is nice.
The facilities aren't great. Software is always crashing and lectures aren't recorded. There's a lot of reliance on AI. The location is great and easy to get to
I feel like it is hard to save money because of the prices of canteen and the prices of materials. I feel like the best aspect is the the workshops are available for everyone and has a lot of technology that can help you make unique things.
The best one is, our uni is so good for everything, all staff are kind and their behavior are amazing
it’s very versatile and inclusive and has many extracurricular activities and clubs. it also has 5 floor library building which is great to study in and the atmosphere in general is amazing
The best is being able to meet people there and how easily it is to talk to anyone. The worst is that very little work is taught in teaching block 1, then a lot of hard work is crammed into teaching block 2
I think the course is quite fresh and fun. There are alot of practical things we learn that are so much more helpful in the real world. Even basic things like corporate etiquettes and networking are taught so that we are able to connect with people. As for the academics…its a bit research heavy though you can get very creative with it (to make it fun) our professors love storytelling and personal instances in the reports.
Main library open until 1am which is great however the engineering campus is often neglected when it comes to events and opening hours with the library only open until 5 and not at all on weekends
So far i am really enjoying it , i transferred here for my second year (i did my first year in a different uni and had a really bad experience) . Doing fine art, its been really nice to have my own available studio space to work, available staff to speak to and aid with my work and just have a general look and chat about ideas and inspiration. Theres a pretty nice studio culture as well and all the tutors and technical staff are very supportive and knowledgeable.
At my point of view there's no worst aspects. The university provides every support for the students especially international students. As an international student i get all the support i want. Also the atmosphere of the university makes everything even better
The kingston community is the best
Lots of study support
It could be improved if we were to have more food options on the campus, and better sports courts such as a football pitch or a basketball court

Uni has been great, the campus is so pretty and you have access to so much, the only downside was that my BTEC science course (all 3 sciences) in my alevels did not allow me to get into the course without the foundation year, even though it was the same as a B/C in Biology which is something they ask for to come here.
Mediocre facilities, mediocre substance, mediocre teaching. Location is good
4.1
The lectures in my course are very helpful and always get back to you when you have questions. We have good weeks timetabling where we have online lessons and in person and we start at a nice time as well which gives people time to travel. Our lectures give us PowerPoints which we can also look at when at home for more revision. The university is big and is a couple bus stops from train stations which is helpful as well. There is lots of places to get food and they have a wide variety of things.
For my course we have a blended learning style where we have a day online then 3 days overall in person then a day during the week for self study which is very nice. The lectures start at 10:00 which isn’t too early and finish at 4:00. We get breaks in between lectures. We do hospital placements where we get to choose the hospitals we want the most in a list then the lectures choose it for us but we get a different hospital in year 2 and 3. Also we have normal lectures and then sometimes skills days where we are in groups and learn practical skills. But overall there is a lot of support from everyone. There isn’t necessarily any negative aspects it’s just more of the individual and having to get used to doing an hour or 2 hr lessons which can take a toll on people.
