University College London - UCL (reviews)

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.

Our programme is fantastic and all of the professors are kindful and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot here. However, all the modules will be 100% assessed by the final exam, which made me quite nervous…

I think my tutors are all very kind and considerate to students. They are very happy to answer students’ questions and encourage us to think critically. They also offer us a lot of resources that help us with our studies. I’ve learnt so many things in the last two months and I really love my courses.

It seems to me that the program covers the basic knowledge areas of the central topic of the program. It does it in a multidisciplinary way, so the interactions in which we participate become very valuable in terms of the different visions that are held. It is at this same point that some of the classes become more complex for students, depending on the profile. I think that at some points, a balance should be sought so that we can obtain greater performance from the course.

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.

We have high tuition fee but we do not have many chance to do experiment in lab. Therefore I think maybe we can have more opportunity to do the experiment. Also, I think the assessments are too intensive.

I am impressed by the career centre of UCL who started to guild students to think about their careers at the very beginning of the semester. They offer various consultations like general career path exploration, CV review, mock interview etc, as well as resources like online webinars with people from the industry, providing authentic views of the job market.

All perfect. Excellent professors with abundant knowledge who are glad to answer any question from students. Brilliant students from all around the world who collaborate with others very well. I love my programme.

I just started, but it seems everything I quite theoretical. Hopefully, when doing my dissertation project I’ll have a more hands-on experience.
There only one exams period after terms 1 and 2 for all modules. This seems to be more complicated than taking exams after each period.

The professors here are overachievers but they literally sit down with you at a cafe to discuss a topic you are passionate about. They make you feel heard, and loved as well as honoured. Also, the method of teaching is extraordinary. Very insightful lectures but very tough course. Not everyone’s cup of tea. Not even mine I guess.😅
