66 reviews for Walbrook Institute London

Student Support: This service was not very adequate for the first 2 years of my course, with the entire support staff team leaving at the end of Year 2 but when they were there, the service was still not helpful. When bringing up an enquiry, we would always receive an automated response, followed by a delayed response which would not address the enquiry with a specific solution. Sometimes we wouldn't even get a response. The new student support staff have been very helpful and that could be improved with potentially the person managing them to receive more resources. The new study space they provided at the beginning of this academic year proved to be quite resourceful. One way they could improve it is by getting better computers for the area as the current ones are quite slow.

I love the location of the university in the canter of London and next to the Bank of England. As well as the lecturers, they have amazing methods to teach you all the tricks and basics that you need to know for this sector. It is the perfect university to study to become a banker. I do not have improvement feedback as I am very happy with how it is.

That’s it’s very specific to what I want to do and gives me specific and detailed support

I feel this is an excellent institution and deserves recognition. The facilities are impeccable and I have received nothing but endless support since day 1. I feel very comfortable talking / contacting my lecturers as well as student support. They cover everything from tutors, work load and mental health. All of which I find very important, I want to touch on the support for mental well-being. They are extremely helpful and supportive offering daily / weekly meetings with whomever you feel comfortable, to talk about uni and the stress and how it’s impacting your mental health. This makes a huge difference for the students and creates a healthy and comforting environment.

LIBF focuses on modern research in finance and from day one encourages students to think about their future. The careers team is amazing and students are always able to seek help for applications, and attend networking events The university has a professional environment and a focus on studies. This somewhat comes at a cost of the social aspect. Many of the societies are set up around finance and although this is perfect for the course, it restricts the amount of socialising amongst peers in a relaxed environment. However, this has been through times of Covid restrictions, and since there have been huge improvements in this area thanks to a new support team. Due to the smaller size of the university it is easy and encouraged to speak out, share opinions and suggest changes to be made. The uni is supportive of any societies or extra curricular activities you may want to start and are happy to provide resources to help you develop them. It can be a matter of taking responsibility for any events/societies you would like to be involved with, and creating them yourself. Overall, I have really enjoyed my time thus far and felt like I have been given a great depth of knowledge to be fully prepared for a career in finance.

Try to invest more in the basement as it’s the only social place uni students really use. (Year 1)

The disadvantage is that there is no separate study space for a single person, and there is no video recording for each lecture and seminar.

The university is very supportive and welcoming. It was very easy to get involved, meet new people and learn new things. They invest a great deal in ensuring that students are provided with support thus making it the perfect place for students like me.

The best part of the university is that you’re being taught by individuals that have been through and done the things they’re teaching about. Another positive being the location, getting a feel for what it’s like being a young professional in the city. It could be improved and is being improved by the support given to student going through tough personal situation. In my first 2 years it was terrible if Im honest but it’s now starting to get better.

Good and experienced professors. Good degree overall. Uni facilities are small but enough for the amount of students
