I think the self-study part in school accounts for a large proportion, and a lot of reading materials are provided. However, in class, it is mostly in the form of seminars. Perhaps the knowledge received passively is not that much, so good time management skills are needed. But actually, what I want is that the school could have more lectures.

Hi, I've applied to study at UCL for September 2018 and was just wondering why it is so low in the league tables for student satisfaction? I've also applied to Leeds and am debating between the two as Leeds is one of the highest in the country for student satisfaction. Thanks.

The university has an amazing campus and student work/ life balance. All the professors have expert knowledge of their topic and are always very welcoming and helpful when requesting feedback and assistance with assignments. The student community itself is also excellent, with a plethora of student societies available, enabling students to not only immerse themselves in their studies but also explore their passions and other cultures.

University College London (UCL) is one of the world’s leading universities, consistently ranked among the global top 10 for its academic excellence, research impact, and innovation. Located in the heart of London, it offers students unparalleled access to professional, cultural, and networking opportunities while fostering a vibrant, diverse, and intellectually stimulating community. UCL is particularly strong in life sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences, and is known for its interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. The student experience is enriched by hundreds of clubs, societies, and support services, making it easy to find both academic and personal growth.

An amazing university in a great location, all the teaching staff are so knowledgable about their topics and are really inspirational teachers. UCL administration is not particularly efficient or easy to get hold of, but all other facilities more than make up for this shortfall.
