  The downside
  
  Quality of lectures is disappointing. I am student of second year but I don't feel that I have learned much, because even it is different subjects every year, but lecturers keep teaching same things. Also some of staff in university are rude.Admin staff isn't very helpful if you need help.In addition to this no free activities or clubs for students.

  Academic Experience
  
  The amount of teaching is not enough, only a day and half every week. The content is usually boring straight from the lectures, however it can be made interesting by doing your own study! essays and exams, not many practicals. We receive a page of feedback, consisting of a few line of notes from the marker.

  Nightlife
  
  Being only a tube ride away from central London, the nightlife opportunities in London are almost limitless and everyone should be able to find something that suits their musical / clubbing interests!

League table rankings

Here's where this university ranks in the three main league tables (where available), which are calculated using a combination of stats that they each weight in different ways. They’re a handy guide but don’t offer the full picture – just because a university is top (or bottom) of the league tables doesn’t mean it is (or isn’t) the right choice for you.
