Computer Science MPhil/PhD

University rating (3)

The research is very high quality and it is great to be part of such a strong team. Unfortunately, there is almost no support from the administration. Colleagues coming from other universities both in the UK and abroad are continually surprised by quite how difficult it is to accomplish any administrative task. Personally, I have been waiting two months for an equipment request and one month for an expense claim. Other teaching assistants have waited over a year to get paid for their work. We are encouraged to work without contracts too. Kind regards, Alex

Physics MSc

University rating (5)

The location and centralisation of the university is amazing. Wonderful living in Camden nearby and both my area and the university area are great and super easy to reach. So much variety on offer to create a wonderfully broad student body. Fantastic. The students union members have been said to have mixed reviews but the university puts of amazing displays of talent in every discipline.
