I do English BA and it’s… a lot to say the least. There are tutorial essays to be done every two weeks and seminar and lecture reading which end up piling up towards the middle of the terms. Lectures are okay but most of them are so random and unhelpful. There is way to much expectation for readings and because of this a lot of students as well as myself end up choosing a select few to study in detail rather than aiming to study them all. Exam advice is pretty mid too, no help given with how to structure or write an essay you’re sort of expected to just do it. You’re thrown into tutorials with little help and only the meetings with a tutor are really helpful for tips and criticism. Overall, I loved some of the texts and a select few seminars were a godsend with how helpful they were – and that was because of the lecturer herself being excellent – and I met my best friend here, but apart from that the programme itself is flawed. Sense of community in societies and careers events and help is outstanding! So it’s a 50/50 love hate sort of thing.

It has been a dream of mine to come to this university and it has never dissapointed. This institution has been home to most of my family and it has showen repeatedly that despite its size, it cares for each of its students. Professors care for their pupils and how they interact with their lessons. The student union, which provides fabulous social events, makes sure to support everyone at the university, down to the most basic members. Lastly, the mental health access is great and extensive. In any case, the feeling exists that this university not only cares about you but also your education.

UCL is organised with the style of lecture content they deliver in advance. They upload appropriate videos and lecture content through powerpoint or pdf files prior to attending the lectures to give us a heads-up to what we will be learning. I like this a lot as i can prepare, not falling behind, and i can understand what the lecturers say in the live sessions.

At UCL, there is a feeling of openness and calm. The fact that everyone’s life is active and purposeful is among the things I appreciate most about this campus. However, his comprehensive academic background is more of a factor for this school’s liberal reputation. The tendency is for people to lose their sense of belonging when there is too much freedom and enjoyment. Because of this, UCL is advised, especially for individuals who want a loose and adaptable approach. Additionally, student welfare protection is better handled by UCL.

As a Master’s student, I already have some experience with several programmes, professors, and management styles I’ve approached in the past. However, it was never the case that I immediately felt as fantastic as I do right now, at UCL. The university area is full of life and joy, but it doesn’t overshadow the most important point of why are we all here – to study. The approachability of libraries, university staff and help centres makes it pleasurably easy and turns our daily student struggles into a pure delight. I would recommend UCL to everyone who wants to experience the best student atmosphere available.

The program is quite helpful for those who want to be teachers in the future. However, some tutors in this program are not very responsible and can’t provide much help. As a result, there is a great discrepancy in the quality of different classes. The facilities in the school are great. There is enough space for us to study or discuss things with partners.

Responsible professors, amiable TAs, clear outline of the course schedule, excellent location of the campus.

The program is not diversified(>90% Chinese international students), not very practical, a total of three weeks of strikes, not enough F2F sessions, assignment requirement is often not clear enough, few career-oriented activities within the program.

In general, the atmosphere of the classes was very good and the teachers were very nice, so I learned a lot of new things. However, in some courses, there was no presentation, which made the lessons a bit boring and also led to students missing key information. In some classes, students were not very familiar with each other, which made it difficult to move forward with group work.

The vibrancy of London is inherent in being at UCL, with the programme spanning different campuses – I was able to experience travelling and going around and enjoying cutting-edge scientific research. With the world-renowned alumni and staff that provide help throughout each challenging component of the course.

Great faculty and super interesting modules. Wish collegiate sports were more like they are in America. Also wish Pakistani literature was a part of the comparative literature and modern languages degrees.
