My university experience has been incredible. I could not have asked for a better experience. From a beautiful campus, modern facilities and an incredible student social life. I would recommend this uni to everyone.
View moreAberystwyth University is one of the best universities in the UK. There is a very high teaching quality and every student is important. The Professors and staff are always there to help with anything you might need. I love how passionate and ready to help they all are. The study content is fulfilling, there are various courses one could choose from. There is a wide variety of affordable accommodation one could choose from starting from 85-90 pounds per week and reaching no more than 140 per week depending on the choice. Moreover, there is a huge number of societies one could join so that everyone is represented. Don’t let the lack of nightclubs put you off. There are many pubs and bars to make up for it. The town is a small picturesque town with very friendly locals and plenty of small shops to choose from. Overall, I couldn’t recommend it more. It’s a place that is constantly upgrading to what the students need.
View moreI like the university overall. The tutors are helpful. The facilities are great. The university accommodation is great. There’s a good representation of nationalities. The location is quite remote cause theres not much nearby. However the student life is satisfying.

The town is great and the university is a great community in itself, the university is constantly changing and upgrading according to what students want and need.
View moreAberystwyth is the birthplace of international relations. But it’s so much more than that.__It is a warm and welcoming place, but most of all it is challenging and it gives you the space to develop as a person and as an academic. I couldn’t recommend it more
View moreAberystwyth is the best university I could have ever chosen! It is a place where people are very much integrated and the students are one friendly society. The teaching quality is very high, a student in Aber is not anyone hidden in the corner of the lecture room, everyone is important and gets the attention when needed. The Professors and staff are always there to help out in absolutely anything. The facilities in the Uni are very much convenient, spacious and modern. I can’t imagine a better place to study than Aber!
