What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

The best aspect is how diverse and inclusive the university is. Further the academic and career support is amazing.
UWL is a great place to study , since i started I am highly satisfied with the student service in general, the access to learning materials is easy and straightforward.

The ambiance is the great part of uni and the assignment is the worst!

Good aspects: Knowledgeable professors, university looks good, they have good connections to other organisations and companies. Bad aspects: Can only think of one at the moment. Prayer room is inadequate for the number of muslims at the university. Also, what makes it more difficult is that only one person is allowed in the room at a time (maybe due to COVID restrictions, not sure) so we have to wait quite a while to finish and sometimes means we will miss a portion of our lessons.

Overall, a good uni. You can have a personal relationship with lecturers since groups aren’t massive, and it is easier to access them in case of any questions or concerns. One downside is the options for accommodation. Since Paragon house closed the university has no student halls and only really provides students with the choice of student village or external accommodation halls. Personally I chose accommodation that is 10 minutes from the university’s main campus, but there are people having to live 20-30 minutes away by tube. I personally chose to join a sports society and that gives me quite a few options to socialize, but meeting new people is not difficult if you enjoy going out to the pub, or the student union bar. There are societies for everyone, including live sound and a radio station, as well as societies for those looking for a safe space such as LGBTQ+.
As described before my experience at UWL has been quite stressful and I didn’t find the support I was expected there. I think the University had pros but definitely more cons, there a very big issue with communication and organisation there that should be looked at and solved. Also I believe the University should be more careful about who they have teaching there as some lecturers clearly don’t want to teach, are never replying, degrading students and their “intellectual capacities” and even blackmailing students.
The HR department teachers made this uni amazing, they have supported me hands on for the past two final years at this uni.
I think the standard of the lectures is very good . However I wish to have more time with the tutors. But as an overall experience its very good. Its easy to get to know people and its an inspiring place
It has been a nightmare, as I said. What can I say more, if you really want to learn something and then use your knowledge in your career one day, don't go there.
Overall experience is like doing college all over again. I urge whoever is reading this to not go here. It is so crowded everyday, you feel like going home as soon as the lecture/class is done because it is so small when people are inside. There isn’t any social space at all except in the library, but that makes 0 sense. Honestly, Westminster, Queen Mary’s, Kingston, Roehampton etc are levels above this Uni and aren’t hard to make an entry. Please explore your options and read all the reviews people have written.
I am enjoying here at UWL - the course is providing everything that I had hoped for and I am learning all the skills that I need to hopefully gain employment on graduation.
I have no idea what clubs and societies UWL offer. There was very little to no information given at freshers week and everything gives the impression of being poorly run.
It is a shame that we do not get to use the studios.I know we are doing music management but other courses have access that have nothing to do with music. The course is great and I am learning a lot.
