Amy - October 2026

Some buildings are outdated and visually ugly, and are also mazes- but Earlham hall is beautiful and underutilised/shown off by UEA. Student support is good and they try to create events that will appeal to students read full review

Electronic and Electrical Engineering MSc(Eng)

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

Nikita - October 2026

What makes Sheffield such a great place to study is the perfect balance between a high-quality university experience and a welcoming city atmosphere. I really appreciate being part of a diverse student community where I can learn from people with different backgrounds, while also having access to beautiful green spaces and a lively city centre. As an international student, I’ve found that Sheffield has a friendly feel that makes it easier to settle in and feel at home. I think the experience could be even better with more affordable social activities, stronger opportunities for students to connect outside their courses, and more support in finding part-time work and building practical career skills. read full review

MA Public Policy and Public Management

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA UEA

Toby - October 2026

The UEA is extremely inclusivity-minded. Its students are from highly diverse backgrounds and so the class perspectives are incredibly fresh and engaging. The teaching quality is superb, my lecturers have a genuine interest in my work and are invested in my success, with many of them going out of their way to offer resources and guidance when needed. The facilities are great, the campus and grounds are well kept and the events are prolific and varied.

PhD Postgraduate Research in Literature

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA UEA

David - October 2026

The best aspects are the research community, both the staff and other students. The university feels like a place where genuinely radical ideas and practices are shared and experimented with.

The worst aspects are the feeling of financial gloom that hangs over the university and the subsequent lack of opportunities and declining student numbers that can be felt. read full review

PhD Postgraduate Research in Creative Writing

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA UEA

D - October 2026

UEA has a fantastic creative writing culture and provides a well-structured, encouraging, and stimulating environment for developing your writing and connecting it to your research. The campus is always busy with literary events, writing workshops, and opportunities to meet other students working in the same area (or on something entirely different). The architecture and the nature around it make it a real pleasure to walk around the place and have a think about your work. Staff are friendly and approachable, and student societies (and the union) make it a very welcoming place to study. read full review
