International experience

LondonMet is a great place to have an international experience for foreign students @ different levels. Whether you may search for an affordable and certified executive studies or you may search for a multicultural experience meeting people from all over the world. I personally, find it a great option for a post graduate level of studies.

More programme coordination

The lecturers in my programme are quite helpful. Would recommend they infuse some kind of practice or practicality into the program. A little bit of programme coordination, and more interaction with peers should be incorporated.

Quite a good university with a bit messed up Computer Science course

The facilities of the school of computing are great - very modern building, newest equipment, campus located in the city centre (most likely you don’t need to commute there by metro or a bus). One major thing however that is lacking is the organisation. Being a third-year student I still have the same feeling - the program is written very chaotically. In 2019 there was that revolution of the programme (to keep learning the newest technology) to which lectures and demonstrators still feel a bit unadapted. I hope this will get better in the next year or two years. However, after that time, the taught technology may change again (which is good) and it will take another couple of years for the lecturers to be fluent in what they teaching (which is not good).

Do not study the Online MSc Psychology

I am studying the course. The study materials are so basic. You will not learn anything from the courses. The grades will always be up to the markers, who just do whatever they want, without following the criteria. Feedbacks have been so general without any meanings. I have suffered mental trauma and depression due to this course. Support are limited and students have to wait 1-2 weeks or more just to get a reply. Do yourself a favor and find other universities. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
