It’s alright if you don’t want that uni lifestyle. I went when I was a bit older so was easy to focus and just go lectures, go library and back home to focus on anything else I had going on. Lectures can be nice and the sound of the plans arriving and elevating from the airport across the Thames is probably the only downfall especially if you’re in lectures

Studying Graphic Design (1st year) and it’s definitely not worth 9k. The art building is far from everything making it very hard for students to interact with other people. Wednesday is meant to be sport day but we have classes until sometimes 8. The afternoon especially is useless as we usually just watch a movie... some workshops are good but we didn’t do a lot of them, I also found some projects irrelevant. Long story short this wasn’t what I excepted from university and I’m very very disappointed.

Great campus and facilities, highly expertised lecturers and amazing community spirit. You really feel a part of UEL, which in turn motivates you for your studies and feeds into your passion for your chosen subject!

Regarding the course, I feel like there should be a further improvement in the academic calendar and AV equipment upgrades. The facilities themselves (in relation) are well-equiped, albeit with some improvement required. The career services have been quite helpful and forthcoming. The student unions promotes a series of events throughout the year which are inclusive and rather exciting too. Overall, the experience has been good.

This University does not care about its student body. They are making no effort to improve the poor old equipment available to students in the creative industries and instead choose to spend money on events to attract prospective students. Lecturers are never audited and administration has no idea what the condition and quality of most of the courses are.

The atmosphere is friendly on campus and you can always find support when and if you need it. There are also many facilities available across campus such as a library that is open 24/7, a sports dock, as well as a canteen and many cafe’s to buy food and drink. Overall I enjoy coming here

The university, as an international student, is okay. I like my classes and the campus, however the administration part of everything can get very disorganized and messy, making it hard for you to study at times.

It's an average university, very good facilities but can be poor with getting back to you and support.

Nice campus's, helpful staff, so many different groups to help with any problems you may have. Many good lecturers and very good resources given.

Overall, the inclusivity across the school is great. However it could be better. Ie: students from poorer backgrounds could have more support ie more pastoral care or funding towards certain resources

Good lectures and practicals however most student are mature and if you are not its difficult to socialise and make friends

This university has the best facilities of any university I have visited. I also spent a year at Canterbury Christ Chruch University and I believe the experience I am currently having in East London is better. Lecturers are nicer and help more.

Campus is well equipped with great 24/7 library services, on campus shops and good equipment for student use. Accommodation seems overpriced but still reasonable for London universities.

Really helpful for people with disabilities. All lectures for psychology are recorded in full so easy to watch back later!

campus is far from everything on dockside and not many eating options or entertainment around just one quiet bar, lecturers can be quite brief and difficult to contact with queries but do offer lots of jobs.

I studied at the Docklands campus which is a modern site, with two types of accommodation blocks, smaller round blocks and larger rectangular blocks. It's all close to the main building and library, as well as the gym. The course I chose was great but lacked hands on experience which would have definitely improved my overall university experience as I had to find my own work experience. My specific course, Music Industry Management, bring a lot of competition in that industry so more assistance in getting work experience would have been useful. The set up of the course was designed well and it was mainly coursework with one exam through the 3 years. The lecturers were interesting and had a range of experiences behind them to inspire and teach us.

there are three campuses, main one in docklands and two in Stratford. mine is the Stratford water lane campus. a heritage site with a blend of old buildings with modernised interiors. The staff are amazing and are more than willing to help you succeed. the sports facilities are quite good in dockland ad the campus is entirely modern. the USS campus is massive and teaches business, dance, law etc. my course is medical physiology and im very proud of it and how the lecturers handle it. plenty of placement and volunteering opportunities.

My time at the University of East London was amazing. I am currently in my last year of my LLB Law degree and I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences I've ever had. The possibility to learn about what I always dreamed of and the chance to put into practice in various internal societies provided by the University, such as the Law Clinic and Mooting and Debating Society, have made my experience just that extra special. I really love the cultural diversity the place has and the help provided by tutors and lecturers is very good altogether, where speaking with a subject or personal tutor is only an email away. I really cannot express more how amazing the University is and I am very glad I had the opportunity to be part of the UEL team.

The atmosphere is really nice. All the tutors are super helpful and you get enough individual feedback. The food is good though it could be cheaper (eg Tesco £3 meal deal type) and we definitely need at least a paper supply shop if not a fully stocked art material shop on/nearby campus. The facilities are a bit small in terms of workshops.

It's okay- teachers aren't that good and the course material isn't the best. The way it's taughr isn't that food either.

The musical theatre course that's delivered at Italia Conti is insane. It's really intense but I am training with industry professionals and in 6 weeks I have improved no ends and I've made friends for life we're the biggest family. I love it

URL is the First university I'm studying with in the UK, so far, I've had a good experience, particularly with their student support, right from when I made my application to study with URL, they had always been in contact with me and constantly supporting me, they also put up lots of program that are helpful to my career. Looking at the learning environment, it's very decent and comfortable.
