University College London - UCL Speciality : Chemical Engineering
programme: Bioprocessing of New Medicines

The programme is great for those aiming for careers in research and innovation sectors. However, I do feel that the staff are sometimes “unfocused” in terms of being slightly distant from the students/not taking the time to personally help us with things. Sometimes, I feel like our opinions are also ignored. However, the degree itself is very interesting and I feel that I learn a lot from it.

UCL is a very international, diverse, and full of possibilities university – during and post graduation. The students are intelligent and the professor participates in numerous interesting projects outside of the university and within. There are more than 300 societies in which one can join depending on their interests and/or skills they want to develop. This was my personal highlight of the university as societies were a great place to meet like-minded people and have a community, which was especially important in such a massive university in such a giant city such as London. The huge scale of the university and the city might be a problem for some depending on the person. London is a city full of life and opportunities, and UCL is in the center of it. Though both are very big, it is easy to feel lonesome at times if one does not have a community. Otherwise, the university itself is one of the worlds best universities, ranked in the top 10 on the globe, and you can really see and experience the quality of it. I would recommend UCL for anyone who has found an interesting program there, can study, and is willing to live and experience a city like London.

The university proves its high place on the rankings. The teaching staff is very professional and always ready to help, the facilities (like labs and lecture halls) are excellent and the material we study is updated to the latest discoveries which are awesome. I strongly recommend it, especially for people looking for uni which is rich culturally — I feel like most of the students are international..
