Very diverse and cute location!!
Good experience
We had lots of cuts to the budget ended up losing great lectures. Also the main part of the Holloway campus entrance has been under construction since my first year of uni and it’s now my last year, crazy when you think about it. It’s been good and bad the good are the lecturers who are doing their best. The bad is the greed of it all.
I think there has been some drastic changes since last year. Our academic mentors are no longer here & subjects we wanted for year 3 aren’t all available to us due to teachers/lecturers not being able to cover it.
The support provided prior to the start needs to be improved it’s a bit disorganised but once we start it work perfectly
Very welcoming and supportive
Wish I had online classes sometimes
I'm very surprised about the amount of positive reviews on here, considering my experience and my peers' experiences and the low reviews on other sites. Spoiler: look elsewhere. I’ll start with the positives, because unfortunately there aren’t many. **Positives** 1. The academic mentors were brilliant. I could regularly take draft work to them for feedback before submission, and they were genuinely supportive. 2. The IT department was very helpful whenever I needed assistance. **Negatives** 1. **Student support services were shockingly slow.** I reached out to counselling services and received an automated response warning of delays. I didn’t get an appointment for over two months. 2. **Outdated teaching materials.** Many lecturers used old or poorly prepared PowerPoint slides, often citing sources from the early 2000s. Students are expected to use up-to-date references in assignments, so why is outdated material acceptable from faculty? Some lecturers even appeared to be reusing content from former staff members. 3. **Disengaging teaching.** A lot of lectures consisted of staff simply reading directly from slides without adding meaningful explanation or discussion. Only a small number of lecturers seemed genuinely passionate or knowledgeable about the subject. 4. **Inconsistent marking and feedback.** Assignment requirements varied wildly between lecturers. For example, some counted in-text references in the word count while others didn’t. One of the most frustrating experiences was submitting a draft, being told it was “very good” with only minor changes needed, then receiving extensive criticism after final submission. 5. **Poor placement opportunities.** The course strongly promoted placements in the final year and implied there were established industry partnerships. In reality, we were expected to source our own placements, and the university’s “partnerships” were mostly food banks and community kitchens. While relevant to food in a broad sense, they offered little meaningful experience for aspiring nutritionists. What made this more frustrating was that dietetics students appeared to receive proper placements every year, so the university clearly had the capability. 6. **Weak extracurricular and industry engagement.** Reading weeks and extracurricular activities felt poorly organised and lacking in value. It was only after repeated complaints in the final year that guest speakers from relevant industries and alumni were finally invited in.
I think there should be more social activity on offer and there should be refurbishments on more parts of the university
I feel proud of my Uni because we are all united. On the other hand, we need more physical activities, but we have not enough empty and green spaces.
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.
Both the chemical facilities and teaching staff in chemistry are kept to a high standard. There is lots of support from academics and a nice mix of exams and coursework. The opportunity to undertake summer research internships and a research module in the final year has been very fun and a good chance to get an understanding of academia.
Al thing is perfect
Basically london met is full of diversity. People from different countries & culture are here. So it feels very nice! The improvement should be on income collection team, they are very unprofessional.
I love to study at London Metropolitan university because tutors always do everything for you to achieve great results, boost confidence and they work so hard to make our journey easier. Dietetics and nutrition course is tough, but with so much support from tutors it definitely makes it easier. I value their hard work. It is truly great experience, and I don’t think i can say something bad about whole experience, it just takes a lot of work and effort to study but it is so worth it.

Cheaper food, better maintenance of the university and more fun activities within the uni
The best is the teachers are attentive and very helpful, the worst aspect is the lack of staff
