Campus and course is great! Some modules might be looking useless but general experience is very good. Convenient location (a variety of places to eat around campus) good facilities, lots of IT labs, a lot of support from staff, active student union. Very good assessment system, didn’t have any problems with timetable (no long gaps). Library usually too full so it’s hard to find space, especially in silent study area.

Campus' are in a prime location and are modern clean. Unfortunately I don't hear much of the student Union or careers services and therrfore don't have much of an understanding of what happens in that area. The University is good enough though there is a lack of support for students with mental health issues. Lecture theatres could be improved as some are rather old and uncomfortable. Cheaper meals would be a wonderful option too for students who may not be able to afford £6+ meals every day.

The registry is unorganised, everyone gets their grades and they forget to send me e-mails, some lecturers are racists and the rsnking isnt too good. Some MSc programmes are ok but it depends on the faculty

During my undergraduate years at the Cavendish campus, the university has made essential changes and improved facilities. There is now a large social space, great for chilling in between breaks. I just wish they emphasised and convinced me more to join societies. I joined one but hardly anyone went and nothing much happened. Maybe there should be more freedom for creating our own societies in the student union.

High level lecturers willing to help you at all times and guide you to get to your goal, intensive practice and tools. Good facilities and equipment.

The Harrow media campus is a nice refurbished building and the facilities are great! Stuff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the film and television production course, you learn a lot of skills and theories

The law campus at little titchfield street could be bigger. I felt that because of the small space we as students could not interact with another. Especially since th cafeteria area was small too. The course itself was good depending on the tutor you got.

The University has 4 campuses in London Regents, Cavendish, Marlybone and Harrow. I study at Regents campus, it is a great place to study and the location is very good. The campus is close to many shops, cafes and bars. Our library,where you can study is located in another building about 5 min away. The student union organises events regularly where you can meet other students and have fun. The career development centre will help you with CV, interviews and volunteering. The organisation is ok but can be improved for example it takes them a long time sometimes to get to you about your results, etc.

Overall, I would rate the university 8/10 as a law student majority of my lecturers are barristers or solicitors so it’s nice to have their input which you would only find with a London university. Similarly, the night life in London is 24/7 however, a lot more expensive than campus university’s, however wicked student nights always host the best events at top clubs with £1 entry and £2 drinks all night! As for student union and freshers... well being in London there’s not one campus and there are many campus’s spread across London there seems to be a favourite campus which is where majority of the events and sports take place, which isn’t mine however London is very accessible tubes can take you anywhere so it’s not too bad to travel. If I was to go back to enrolling for university I would definetely stick with a London university as it gives me a head start with popular work experience and jobs however, as a commuter I do miss the night life but I am happy with my choice

Its a good university with a great location. There's lots of support academically with a great emphasis on mentoring. Career services are introduced in the beginning and there are many systems in place to aid career enhancement.

It's a pretty good university in terms of study content. Very flexible scheduling. But need to be little more planned in terms of events and timetables.

Good University overall, module leaders could do more to engage students. 5 days for mitigating circumstances is not enough.

Overall I would say it is a good university, the location is great. I attend the business and architecture campus and whenever I feel like I can just go and walk/take the bus or tube (depending how lazy I'm feeling). To one of the other campus. Each campus has a different vibe with place and to chill and hang out. All the facilities are modern and accessible such as touch screen PC's or Mac's printers everywhere and with £15 credit printing everywhere. Virtually free printing too. Career services at the university is top notch as the university seems to provide you with everything if you want to succeed. From having constant employability fairs, networking events. Platform to find employment plus offices dedicated to help with interviews, CV's , volunteering and all

The campuses are split across the capital but are in close proximity mostly. The facilities are quite good and they have a MacBook loan system which works when you've forgotten your laptop.

great campus situated in a suburban area of London, friendly staff and a creative environment. Great facilities and library that’s open 24/7. Halls of residence are a 5 minute walk away alongside the student union and it has great tube links.

I studied at the Harrow campus on the TV course. The university has a good library and tv facilities. Part of the building is still a little dated but on the whole it made for a good place to study and to socialise.

Am doing software engineering. First year was great looking forward to second. iPad given to us for free and plenty computer facilities.

Campus is very centrally located, courses are taught by very well educated lecturers. Many students do not attended lecture or seminar, therefore, there are small class sizes.

Good studies, spaces but bad Students Union services and no student discounts. fFab lab for printing is fabulous but too expensive. Mainatenace abd it need improving to become much more efficient. Faculty staff (architecture) excellent knowledge and excellent external lectures and activism.

The teaching programme is excellent with highly regarded tutors in the architecture and built environment department. The studio space for the architecture department could be better in giving students assigned desks rather than a small space with a few tables.

Really good one on one tutorial classes. Teachers are of great quality and really care about students individually

I enjoy the diversity at the University campus. At Marylebone Campus we are situated at the heart of London and on one of London's busiest road. Every day you will come across a student from a different part of the world and because we are on a similar learning programme, it becomes an enjoyable experience to engage and have a discussion with my peers. The campus is modern and the learning facilities, such as the computers, are always available for students to use and progress on with their work. The University really is my cup of tea.

I quite like my course. For the most part they have delivered what they promised. The campus in Harrow where my course is based is large and spacious. The services provided by the uni (career services, student services, etc.) are good and very useful. The library is very good. The only thing is there are some parts of the university that needs some refurbishment.
