Reviews of Postgraduate Courses

The reviews below were submitted by students currently studying postgraduate courses at UK universities. Reviews contribute towards the Whatuni Student Choice Awards, which celebrate student satisfaction in higher education and offer insight into postgrad life at university.

I really like how easily accessible some of the student accommodations and the SU is to the rest of campus. I feel that the SU is very much the hub with a variety of different food places and facilities. I enjoy both the nightlife on campus, and how close university is to Leicester town centre. Improvements might include more seating spaces for study as I feel that the SU can often be quite crowded. read full review

Great location and nice library.
Library can be a bit noisy sometimes.
Lovely lecturers but sometimes it can feel disorganised which adds to the stress of assignments and deadlines. read full review
The atmosphere is quite nice and the campus is very beautiful. I do think as an international student there aren't many opportunities to integrate properly with home students. At times, there's a sense of othering. Maybe providing a more thorough orientation process with international students to ensure they feel include in the SMU community. read full review
Great atmosphere, tutors are very supportive and such a beautiful location read full review
My worst experience was the lack of support I received from the university in terms of finance. As an MSc student I was excluded from things like the Hardship Fund, which made student life incredibly difficult as I struggled to get a job in Liverpool and had no maintenance loan. On the other hand, I had a mostly positive experience in my course department, with most of the lecturers seeming engaged and passionate about their work read full review
One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the opportunity to engage with a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about technology and innovation. The campus offers a variety of extracurricular activities that have enriched my social and academic life.

However, a notable drawback is the fact that the course content for my program is not accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), which raises concerns about the recognition of my degree in the professional field. Additionally, the courses offered under the applied artificial intelligence umbrella have not met my expectations. The content often lacks depth and fails to cover the latest advancements in AI that are critical for a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

For improvement, I would suggest the university seek BCS accreditation, which would not only enhance the credibility of the program but also assure students of meeting a recognized standard of education in computer science. Moreover, a curriculum overhaul for the AI-related courses is necessary to incorporate cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the industry. Engaging with industry professionals to update the course materials could be a way forward to bridge the gap between academic theories and real-world applications. read full review
Everything is good but student support needs to be improved. Food prices must be reduced read full review
