I find that the best part of this university is the staff and support available. I never feel like I haven't got any help or support. I also really enjoy my course as lecturers really make it interesting and appealing to students. I feel that the facilities at London Met need to be updated, it does feel really old except the tower building which looks lovely. Refurbishment could really add to the experience for students.
NO communication between students and tutors, tutors and tutors, or even the university and third parties such as the owners of the studios. Four works were removed by a student and then removed from a tutor without being told. (Work was put up the week before the Christmas break and I found out the week I returned) Hosted a presentation which ended with a very healthy, civilised, and friendly debate. But was later told the presentation was offensive and there was no discussion at all (was told by a tutor who never attended said presentation) Was almost given a disciplinary because the of the two reasons above. Was told the university has no free speech by a tutor (after reading the universities rules, and the LAW, turns out they would have gone against the law if I were to be disciplined) Had to attend a meeting with two tutors about the four works, was told by one that I’m and white man and therefore can’t talk about certain discussions like racism (as if I haven’t been a victim of racism myself) The same tutor had called me a white man before, as if the colour of my skin is all I am (due to this incident I never felt safe going to meetings with tutors unless I was recording the whole thing, legally I and whoever else fears they need to can) Furthermore, assumptions were made on my character despite not knowing me, some assumptions were down right sickening. Talked about the Karl Rittenhouse incident as an example of the media being either accidentally or purposefully wrong to misinform the readers. I was then called a conspiracy theorist despite all my sources either coming from primary accounts, mainstream articles, or raw data from sources like the Government. I was suggested of being far right due to my essay being pro free speech and liberty (I criticised censorship from the Church, the 20th century right wing, and compared it to woke ideology in todays world) I was able to show this tutor I’m not far right, but the fact I was labelled it is a disgrace. None of my blogs were ever read by the tutor whose literal job was to read them. This happened in my second and third year. Absolute disgrace as it explained my ins and outs of my project work, but instead of reading them I was characterised as a villain. I have also heard from several students from my year and ones before and after me, that the level of care when it comes to marking is poor. I received no emotional aid when I mentioned I had lost sleep with the name calling I had received from tutors. The university charged full price during lockdown, despite the workshops being closed. I have seen accounts from two other students who have said their work was removed. All appear to me to be because we offer either centralist or slightly conservative opinions. During the process to clear out the studios for the last exhibition, my tutor suggested we place the chairs and tables on the stairs to create a health and safety issue to therefore force the owners of the building to place the furniture in the basement (I have no idea if they went through with this but it was not said in a joking manner) I had to re-plan my end of year exhibition three times because they moved where I was to be placed. I was told by my own tutor that I would grow out of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon historical artforms. A tutor left mid-way through the year twice. A number of students and tutors presented a strong anti-Anglo-Saxon agenda (would be fine if the opposing side was welcome) The lack of teaching there is inferior to what you are taught in GCSEs. All I can say is that if you are remotely free speech, want to present Christianity in a good light, or have centralist/conservative opinions, I would stray far away from this university. Or, if you are ready for what I experienced, understand the law is on your side for free speech in universities, and I wholly encourage looking into the Free Speech Union if you are ever in the need for legal advice on said matters

first of all the view is very refreshing where students can study with the view of canary wharf and central London. not only that the universities has a lot of facilities for every students. the staff are very good. the environment is very nice and clean. the classes are clean and well arranged. the food in the canteen is healthy and good. overall the place is too good for me its only been 5 months I have been studying here and it starts to feel like I'm home and I don't want to leave the place when I come here.
Great.
lots of support from academic mentors and teachers. Many places to study after lesson, a good split of practical and class based lessons. very diverse and inclusive of every ability
I think is a good University, just is quite far, if this was in better location let say central London. Teacher some of them are better or teaching with better understanding, help that we received from teacher is okey. They can help more with extra lesson, or more one to one teaching. We understand that students must to revise but sometimes can be hard to understand everything!
London MET is my house and the feeling of being there everyday is wonderful. The installations are one of my favorite aspects of the Uni. Like the gym, the bar, the restaurant and the coffee areas, but also our amazing library. We have multiple types of rooms for different courses and space to have a break and socialize. The team work are always friend trying to make our study journey simple and easy. There is lots of student service and programs trying to guided the student in what the need. Helping with English is something that I need and they try to help me every time. Perhaps the Uni should invest more in the events and activities from students. Most of the student are always asking about events or something. Because they spent their day life there and they love to be there. Why not making more social events... Last year we had so many. This year we want more. In general London Met is a safe and social place where you can find everything you want and is you feel at home there. The mix of students from different countries is so nice. Thanks to London Met.

I love studying here at London Met. The teaching staff really inspire students to think and develop creatively. The facilities and range of available equipment are really second to none. The atmosphere on campus is friendly and inclusive and the atrium cafe is a great place to catch up over a coffee or linch and view the various art projects that are regularly displayed. There is an abundance of student and academic support for students with regular planned study skills and writing sessions available throughout each semester. Students are kept up to date with what's happening with regular email updates. The building itself is in parts old but there are plans to move to a new site in 2025. However, I love the Aldgate campus and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to study here.
The tutors at London Metropolitan University are very supportive and always providing excellent teaching. The organisation for timetables needs improvement. May be will be better if every student has 3 days fixed schedule.

I like the university except that the bathrooms are a little old but for the rest it is good and another thing that needs to be improved is the internet, it doesn't always catch the university's wifi on the students' computers but for the most part but I really like how they teach.
Good

A great place to study, amazing Lecturers
My course is only class taught and it's very much of a struggle around the children but it's totally worth it. Wish we could have only important lectures on campus and the rest online
