There are a lot of activities and opportunities for students, but I think the school has accepted too many students. So it is more commercial rather than academic. Though, all the videos for studying and hanging out is good.

City campus in centre of London has so much going on everyday from relaxing, mingling with people to intense debates. Very active and diverse student union with all the interesting societies to explore.

The course itself is challenging that brings out the best in me. Scared and overwhelmed but motivated and inspired at the same time because peers and departmental staffs are always supportive

I feel like this uni, and the Social Sciences degree in particular is perfect if you imagine your future as a researcher. The degree is very research-based, with a lot of focus on how to conduct studies. However, if doing a PhD and then becoming a researcher is not your ultimate goal, this might not be the ideal degree for you. In my experience, if you imagine yourself in the private sector and not in research, you will need to gain lots of experience outside of your studies doing part-time jobs or volunteering to get a good job. Luckily, in my experience, the workload on this degree is not extremely heavy, so you will able to work and/or enjoy life with just a little bit of time managament and organisation. As for part-time jobs, they are not too hard to find, even the school itself offers some great opportunities. Location-wise, London is one of the most exciting European cities, so you will never be bored. Plus, UCL’s main campus is situated in Bloomsbury, in Central London, quite close to busy and interesting places like Oxford Street, Regents Park or the British Museum. The downside of this are the insane rent prices you will have to pay if you want to live close to uni. The main building of UCL looks great and is equipped with everything you could want, but some of the other buildings (e.g. the IOE, where the Social Sciences degree is based) are not as pleasant. The cafés of UCL are great for cheap and good coffee, but not the best choice for a meal in my experience – even though they are quite cheap, they are not necessarily that delicious and/or filling. As for meeting peers, UCL is very international, so if you want to have friends from all around the world and learn about different cultures, this is the place to go to.

This program is generally ok. It contains many terminology as well as statistics knowledge based on population health. It also contains coding class to allocate the statistics. But some of the lectures is quite ambiguous about the content and there are quite a lot essay to write.

UCL offered a multitude of opportunities in the extracurricular arena. This varied from academic, cultural societies to altruistic and sports clubs. The structure of the year is as such that everyone is allowed to access free taster events, be it for the gym, kickboxing, yoga or so on. Later in the year, everyone has the opportunity to run for a democratic election to lead a student club, giving everyone a chance fo get involved in committee regardless of their background and demographic.

In terms of study space, more needs to be done to ensure adequate seating, silent rooms, cleanliness measures in toilets and make more kitchenettes accessible. For a university with 42000 students, further investment in the aforementioned slant is worthwhile.

Overall, I found myself growing as an individual and not just as a student, thanks to my faculty support.

UCL is a world-renowned university known for its high educational standards and exciting student life. Coming all the way from Asia, I expected it to be difficult to settle in and feel apart of the community. However, the universities internationality and society, in general, made me feel extremely comfortable. UCL soon became my home away from home. The students are welcoming, professors are highly learned and helpful and the University is as central as it can get. Studying at UCL made me a more confident individual, ready to take on the world as soon as I graduated. It taught me theoretical as well as practical skills. I would 100% recommend UCL to any student wishing to have a holistic university experience.

Good university with a range of opportunities, both academic and social, but it can also be a challenging environment that sometimes feels too big and decentralized. BASc Arts and Sciences is a great course, small department that provides a lot of help and support to its students, and allows exploration of different subjects. However, although it seems like the perfect course for someone unsure of what they might like to pursue, it is actually better for people who have several but clear, well-defined interests so they can use this programme to pursue those interests in a coherent way. Overall, I think UCL and London in general would be better for a master’s than for an undergraduate degree, as both the university and city environment are vibrant but very busy and challenging.

Teaching is good, love it!!! one of the best times I’ve met so many lovely people here, learn a lot through exposure to entrepreneurship, resources great, alumni great, its amazing here! You get talks , and you learn so much!

Pros: Very international, dedicated staff in our department, education very research-based

Cons: Admin issues aren’t addressed very smoothly in the uni (timetabling, taking courses in other departments).

I absolutely love UCL, especially thanks to my degree. In Arts and Sciences, we are allowed to pick all of our modules, which is amazing. I enjoy the diversity of people and the multitude of activities and events. I have met so many great people and there is not a single day where I would say I am bored.

The only problem I could notice is the low amount of classes, which is sometimes too low for me. Weeks can be very empty if you do not fill them correctly. Also, many of the seminar tutors are quite bad. These are the only two negative things that I can find about UCL.
