Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Aberystwyth University

I really love Aberystwyt uni. The lecturers are fantastic and the student life is great. The student services I'd understaffed, poorly trained and under funded. This is similar to every other uni read full review
ABER is a welcoming and friendly place, its safe and close-knit.
There are lots of opportunities for development personally and professionally and there is a strong sense that even after graduating you will be looked after.
The staff from lectures down to admin, to the peopke who look after an maintain the campus do well to ensure that the environment and surroundings are the best place for everybstudentvto do well and prosper.

ABERYSTWYTH UNIVERSITY

Frederic - January 2024

From my experience, student services and the academic atmosphere is welcoming and accommodating. Even with services and overall time being stretched in the current academic and political climate, Aberystwyth does promote a student focused way of life.
Some negatives are more practical, in terms of the rural nature of the town and cost of joining societies. I attended a university with free membership to clubs and societies, so I am biased in this regard.
Overall, there are many opportunities around the town which may take time to find, but you only need to ask! A good university for those who enjoy a rural Welsh feel. read full review

It's great place to study thanks to amazing teachers and their support as well as student group and societies. There could be more benefits for students in a shop nearby and gym could be open 24/7 :) read full review
Fantastic uni, Aberystwyth is a great place to live! read full review
The Creative Writing MA needs to be a year and a half to allow staff and students to focus on one thing at a time and complete their best work. Many students across departments are crying out for more time and ability to focus on one assignment at a time. Take the strengths of block teaching a step further to make courses more neurodivergent friendly!! We demand and deserve better! Students want and need a better work-life balance. read full review
