I highly recommend this university for following reasons

1. Research based studies
2. Good library and resources
3. Excellent support and guidance
4. Loads of activities
5. Excellent staff and further studies opportunity
6. Excellent career service team
7. But remember you have to put your own efforts to do well.

The course is accompanied by a highly skilled set of academics, who allow you to immerse yourself in a wide-ranging scope of different topics regarding both human and physical geography. I was able to develop my skill set further, especially in areas regarding field and lab work, which is attributed to the amazing array of equipment supplied by the university. It has helped me to progress with my future career immensely, I highly recommend this course for someone interested in geography, as it opens your future to numerous different pathways.

The classes and the teachers were amazing, they were fully supportive and kept in contact through all three years even with covid going on. Whilst the content was kept interesting and discussions were always listened to, especially on how the course was run, I never felt unsupported in any way. The only criticism is of the university itself. Throughout my time, there were many strikes and with the pandemic, although they were under-prepared and that’s in some ways understandable, the university then and from my knowledge continues to this day to not support their staff or their students. Apart from that the student life is amazing and whilst price houses are incredibly expensive, you can find cheaper ones if you’re willing to sacrifice en suites or any fancy houses.

The university has tons of incredibly knowledgeable and captivating lecturers – as you get through your bachelor’s degree and get more choice I found lectures to be not only extremely informative but fascinating and entertaining too. The workload is quite heavy and I feel the university is heavily lacking in the quality of its pastoral support. Mental health services, student services and the amount of individual tutoring needs to be expanded and improved. As it is such a prestigious university I do feel the marking is stricter and the expectations are higher (naturally) so that can be quite difficult. It’s a great university if you want to be in a beautiful, historic, fun and lively city. It’s great for nightlife and meeting wonderful people. You will make fantastic friends and explore wonderful topics in many different university libraries.
