Sort:Latest reviewsThere's hardly any student support on my course and there's minimal interaction between students and academics. It's a mixed bag as with anywhere, some academics take an interest in what they're teaching and whom they are teaching and others are just there so that they can get back to their research ASAP.
I've enjoyed my time studying at UCL, but part of me wishes it had more of a campus feel. It's easy to feel anonymous an institution with over 27,000 students. Often the study spaces are full or booked for teaching meaning that I have to study off campus. The few campus cafes are also always busy, often with people who aren't students.
It's a good uni, staff are incredibly helpful, campus is nice and my course physics and astronomy is good. There are problems with organisation of the university overall, so timetables, exam timetables, and changing anything in general can be very hard. Generally every member of staff is well intentioned but often have to work against the system. Also there is not enough tutorial sessions in physics and astronomy
The lecturers explain everything clearly. Everything is fine except the weather! Don't attend the students union much and I live by myself renting the house out of my own income.
Group projects are good on my course and London is great, accommodation is also good. Job prospects will be ok due to the branding and reputation of the university. Don't really participate in many clubs.
Not many hours on the course and accommodation is far too expensive as well some of the campus food. But in all other areas the university is good and have had a good experience.
Generally Good. Only 2 hours contact on course. Lots to do in London it's getting more expensive and justifiably so. Good union but would like a more cohesive freshers week. Would like more counselling on support services.
Great people and a fun learning environment. So much on offer in the city would like to see more social spaces but have joined a wide variety of clubs and there are many student support services.
Good experience so far. Interesting topics and good teachers. Like the accommodation but some of it was fault. There so much to do in London though, and the support is great there is always someone to email who reply's quickly.
University is good. Course is a bit restricted, not a lot of different modules to chose from and not enough actual spoken German. Expensive city and accommodation but lots to do. Would like more social spaces.
Love it! Lecturers are great, the accommodation is poor value but its London so i guess its the norm. All aspects are good with little complaints and the job prospects should be pretty easy.
Very interesting and beneficial, London is expensive but with much to do. Would like larger cafes and the support service is exceptional and personal. Don;t associate much with the union
Its fab! Course is great and flexible, some of the bathrooms need renovating but London is expensive and job prospects are good. Joined several societies and there is much to do in the city.
Lectures are good, there is a good availability of lecturers. Living in private accommodation so have not experienced halls but London life is great! Joined a couple of societies as there is a lot of choice
Have met lots of diverse and of course clever people, but is not as sociable as some universities and there are not many cheerful individuals about. City life is great!
Challenging, good job prospects, food is great in London as is the life in general. The union and clubs and societies are good, i am an active member of the Japanese Society of course!
Some of the lectures are great but others are really bad, and the same for the tutorials. I feel the tutors are overworked. Accommodation is poor, it was expensive and dirty
Enjoy the student community and atmosphere. Love the labs and the life in London, in particular eating out! Would like to see more water fountains. Haven't joined other clubs
Love the labs, accomodation as is London is expensive but good, there are many eating places in the city. University facilities and careers servcie is good, Students union is ok
4.1
It is horrible. The staff made me hate my course because they do not know the subjects they are teaching, inexperienced and careless. No effort to make us understand things when we ask for explanation. Exam structure changes in the last month before exams.
good.
okay
