- Oldest Chemistry Department in England and hence consists of faculty who are pioneers in their respective field or are contributing to world leading research.
- The Royal Society of Chemistry accredits most of the courses offered by the Department of Chemistry which gives the students opportunity to attend seminars and connect to researchers who are members of the RSC and are conducting cutting edge research.
- The courses offered by the Department of Chemistry is highly research oriented which enables the students to learn by conducting critical analysis of the literature and by designing novel experiments, compared to the conventional method of classroom based education.
Dislikes
- Location of classes can be quite far apart from each other which sometimes lead to confusion and/or reaching classes later than the assigned time.
- The number of students in a particular course is extremely small (due to the difficult admission process, to maintain the academic standard of the institution) which makes it harder for students to make friends or acquaintances.
- Some of the modules can be quite advanced for students hailing from India even if the term "advanced" is not mentioned in the course title and irrespective of the fact that they might have taken the respective course in their undergraduate. Only thorough studying of the course and dedicating extra effort is the possible solution to a situation like this as UCL is an institution with a top 10 ranking in the world and hence an academic journey here is obvious to be a bit challenging.
Campus Life
- Two campus: Bloomsbury and UCL east
- All necessary and extracurricular facilities are provided on each campus. We have dedicated libraries, study spots, cafes, theatre galleries, sports grounds, etc., available to the students of both campuses.
- All the campus festivals are celebrated majorly here. The freshers week has numerous festivals and welcome events: one such event was a boat party for the new students on the River Thames. There is also an upcoming Winter Ball in the month of December.
- The student committee under the Department of Chemistry is called the Chemical and Physical Society, which is the oldest student society in England.
- Additionally, there are over 100 clubs and societies, such as the Bollywood Society, Rowing Society, Bangla Society, and Baseball Society, who have their independent events for their members. Generally, master's students run on a very tight weekly schedule and hence are less likely to regularly take part in the events or meetings of these societies.
Accommodation
- I am renting an independent property off-campus and I found it through an online platform called Imperial Housing Solution.
- 650 pounds, Wi-Fi included. Utilities are not included.
- I had to pay 6 months rent upfront due to a lack of a UK-based guarantor.
- Do not opt for campus accommodation, as it is much costlier and smaller in size.
- 25 minutes. Campus accommodation or private student accommodations.

- World Class Exposure
- Different opportunities according to interest of students.
Dislikes
- It’s not in India
- Expensive - the fees is more than 35000 pounds.
- Time period is less - the course is only of 9 months
Campus Life
- There are three campuses; the main campus is in central London near Euston Square Station and the other two are newly constructed in Zone 2. One in Stratford and another one in Canary Wharf.
- There are a lot of facilities, such as dancing, singing, games, skiing, games, and a makeup learning club.
- The main event is the Christmas fair and I’m still discovering.
- The list of all the clubs is mentioned on the student union website.
Accommodation
- I opted for student accommodation through my university portal.It was not very challenging for me as I applied in university portal and got my accommodation.
- The monthly rent is around 13000 pounds.
- My accommodation is very safe and it takes around 30 minutes to reach my accommodation. Most of the Indians stay in wembley but it depends on the location of the accommodation and most of the students opt for private housing as it is cheaper than student accommodation.












Likes
- Support from Professors.
- Environment around is very motivating.
- Network you build here will support you a lot and help you a lot.
Dislikes
- Sometimes you don't know how and whom to contact for the issues you might face.
- Being an international student the study pattern is different here but you can cope with it.
- It's expensive to live in UK or especially in London,so you might focus more on jobs rather than studying.
Campus Life
- My university has 3 campuses. One is main one in central London and I'm in the east campus which is new.
- There are many clubs and societies which you can join and have fun throughout your course.
- Yes, many extracurricular activity are arranged in the university very frequently. You just need to keep an eye on everything that's happening around you.
Accommodation
- I took private accomodation. I had a couple of friends already living here so they helped me with finding the accomodation and managing everything before I arrived here.
- Many Indian students who don't have any contact prefer staying in student accomodations as they are safe and reliable. So if you are new and don't know much about UK it's better to choose student accommodation as it's much easy to get scammed here.

Accommodation
Accomodation is also very expensive. I am paying 5000 pounds for my accomodation.
Its very good university and its 8th in ranking all other the world. It was a honour for me to make in such a University also I had my brother studying in the same university so things in that University turned out to be pretty convenient for me.
Accommodation
Accommodation is through the university in first year, after which students are expected to find their own accommodation. Individual rooms most common but you can share in first year. Through uni the average cost is £190-£200 weekly. For renting your own flat, costs vary greatly depending on location, number of rooms, etc.
The factors that drove me to accept the offer were: World ranking, campus and location, well-rounded course structure related to all branches of Psychology, focus on scientific aspect of Psychology. What I liked most about University was the social aspect in terms of clubs and societies, and the focus on providing a well rounded Psychology background and the practical work we did. These factors also led me to choosing this particular program.
Accommodation
I live off campus at my own apartment.
I choose this university because it was the best i could get and also because its located in central London.
Accommodation
No I live off campus.
UCL is a brand and successfully securing a place in this university was a dream come true for me. I have my elder brother who graduated from this university and is doing well in his life.
Accommodation
I stay at Arthur Tattersall House and pay 198 pw for a single room. The rooms are comfortable and they are alot of communal areas to spend good times with friends.
Rankings, location, reputation, courses are good.
Accommodation
I stay at a UCL catered accommodation and the fee is 210 pounds PW. they are communal areas, free wifi, 24/7 support, and basic contents insurance.
Because it has ranked in the top 5 for psychology.
