Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at UCL (University College London)

The location, diversity of student population and the ease with which international students can apply and be accepted read full review
The course was completely over-enrolled meaning we did not get attention from professors and we weren't able to enroll in all of the modules that are promised on the website. It is also very theory based and not practical - I didn't feel prepared at all when it came time for my dissertation. The advisors are not allowed to help us for very long, so you are mostly left alone for your dissertation. I would not recommend. read full review
Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge. read full review
The research is very high quality and it is great to be part of such a strong team.

Unfortunately, there is almost no support from the administration.
Colleagues coming from other universities both in the UK and abroad are continually surprised by quite how difficult it is to accomplish any administrative task. Personally, I have been waiting two months for an equipment request and one month for an expense claim. Other teaching assistants have waited over a year to get paid for their work. We are encouraged to work without contracts too.

Kind regards,
Alex

UCL (UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON)

Student Reviewer - March 2022

The location and centralisation of the university is amazing. Wonderful living in Camden nearby and both my area and the university area are great and super easy to reach. So much variety on offer to create a wonderfully broad student body. Fantastic. The students union members have been said to have mixed reviews but the university puts of amazing displays of talent in every discipline. read full review
I had a fantastic time. I really do miss this masters program. The staff were lovely, my course mates were too. The work was very challenging and although I don’t miss those late library sessions I think it made me a much more stronger and capable engineer. read full review
I think my time at UCL has been both good and bad, on the one hand the lecture is extremely qualified, But on the other hand even though they are good at the subject of matter they are not good teachers read full review
The overall experience has been very good. Being my first year in the UK, UCL has been very accommodating in terms of settling in and slowly starting studies. Tutors have helped to the best of their abilities and have been a pillar of support to us in our times of need. Classmates and other friends met during this time have made the online class experience a lot more bearable. read full review
I have done my MSc at UCL and currently continuing my PhD. I can clearly say that UCL is a top university and research quality is high. It pushes you for more research and your standard gets higher and higher. The interdisciplenary approach and quality of tutors help you to advance your skills read full review
