Birkbeck University of London (reviews)

I’m very happy with the atmosphere at Birkbeck and the quality of the teaching. As a mature student, there couldn’t be a better place to study. They also have excellent research facilities which is great for psych students.

I started my postgraduate computer science degree at the University of London in September 2020. I had been very excited to start the course, and prior to applying, I had hoped that it would be on campus because I wanted a real university experience. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my university courses have been moved online, and I have had to adjust my expectations Sadly, because of the COVID pandemic, I could not step foot on campus, let alone live in the accommodations. This had been a huge disappointment to me, and I had to resign myself to the fact that I was not going to be able to experience a physical campus atmosphere. I felt like my university experience had been stunted because of the pandemic, and while this was not technically the university’s fault, it just felt unfortunate. The course was pretty good, and I’d say it’s still a good course I just feel like it was kind of ruined because of the pandemic, but I still love the course and the university.

I have been studying at Birkbeck university for the last year and a half and so far I have really enjoyed the experience. They have lectures mostly in the evening so that students who are also working can join them. I find that the services they are offering are really good and if you need help with anything there is always someone you can ask. I love the library and the silence room where I usually go to when writing my assessments. Some tutors could be more engaging but overall they know what they are doing and are always happy to help if you have questions. I find that the social side of going to this university is a bit limited with more activities and societies but it’s also true that most students are quite busy and don’t have additional time to join those. I’m quite happy with my university overall and I would recommend it. The fact that is part of the university of London group makes it quite desirable and I love that it is extremely multicultural and diverse compared to other universities in the UK or other countries.

I would definitely recommend to anyone as the quality and the delivery of the course is at the par. Without any doubt this is indeed one of the best universities to for any student to get a life changing experience.
