1,100 University of Leicester reviews

Amount of classes tend to be a little too much. Lecturers are great and supportive

Things are quite close by and very diverse city

My course has it’s own library which is useful and my tutors and easy to speak to and to get hold of. The course is also very clearly laid out and there is and wide range of support available. In terms of work placements the university isn’t as supportive in guiding you to these and there is also no option for a year in industry on my course.

I was in a shared bathroom flat of 10 which was incredibly fun for making friends and it was in a very social block meaning I was able to meet people easily. The rooms were average with a double end and a wardrobe, desk, side table and wash basin inside. However, this accommodation was about a 1/2 hour walk to university, yet as I was there during lockdown this did not affect me.

Best: great staff, interesting content, flexibility to follow interests Worst: no opportunities for work experience, poor careers service support

n/a

Best - lectures are delivered both online and in person, so there is easy accessibility. Dissection of whole cadavers helps with anatomy, with good teaching staff. Worst - some teaching staff aren’t very helpful

To love - everything is so close by and easy to get to. Not so great - shops tend to shut very early

Most - you’ll always find like minded people who go to the same university as you Least - they aren’t modern and tend to be more expensive than private accommodation

Studying can get quite intense, especially when there is lots of content to go through per module in a short amount of time. Sometimes the staff don’t necessarily help either but Google can be quite useful sometimes for things like that 😂

My course is taught in person. It is great because we can have more interaction with other people. The contact with lecturers is very easy which is a very good point, all lecturers made themselves available if you have questions.

Subject facilities, and course content are amazing in my course but my tutor is quite distant.

The village is a perfect place for 1st years to get to know each other!

Great module options and interesting subjects but some teaching is pretty boring and some assessments don’t line up very well with the content. However overall support in the department is brilliant. Lots of contact hours, open door policy is helpful and they have everything in person if possible. So

The course is very interesting and the professors are always engaging, it is interesting to work partly online and in person but Leicester Uni has made a good approach to this type of blended learning

Sometimes the rooms may look a bit dated but they are always clean and good value for money especially if you're like me and prefer ensuite bedrooms!
