Helpful but mixed teaching
Overall a good university, staff are helpful but some aren't really good at teaching. Buildings are okay, but wish they had more auditoriums available so it didn't feel like going to college and that they had proper tables and chairs in every classroom. Unihelp was always really helpful and the library is in good condition. Overall an okay experience
Middlesex
I began my studies at Middlesex University on a strong note and I am grateful to the tutors, who provided valuable insight and were always available whenever I had questions. However, I was truly dissatisfied with the programme structure. Several modules were skipped, leaving me feeling as though I had not been able to explore the material in the depth I would have liked. As students, we tried to voice these concerns, but we did not receive the answers or clarity we were hoping for. This left many of us confused about what to revise for exams and what to include in coursework. Even the lecturers acknowledged the issue, though it was ultimately out of their hands. Looking ahead to my postgraduate studies, I am determined to approach the experience differently. I am ready to put in the work and strive for excellence, because I see this as a defining chapter in my life—one I want to pursue wholeheartedly and remember with pride.
