Aberystwyth University

My university experience so far has been such an eye opener to my future and during my nursing Placements I have developed so many new skills I'd never thought I would've gained during university. Aberystwyth uni has so many amazing facilities that are suitable for everyone and these have definitely made me more happier and healthy

The Department of Life Sciences in Aberystwyth University offers a wide variety of interesting core and optional modules within their courses.

The staff are always upbeat, passionate about their subjects and available for questions.

I feel very supported at Aberystwyth. Coming here was the best decision I could have made when it came to picking out my university.

It has been a whirlwind. From A&E trips for allergic reactions, seeing Whales at my beach in summer and meeting my boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months. It has been a rollercoaster but i wouldn't change it for the world.

I had an amazing time at Aberystwyth university and it shaped my career after graduating.
The lectures and lecturers are incredibly resourceful, attentive and educated in their field of expertise.
Studying in such a gorgeous location with a sense of community and natural beauty on your doorstep really benefited me personally.
I miss Aberystwyth so so much, I have many wonderful memories like seeing the dolphins in the sea, the endless beautiful sunsets and starling mermorations each year. I will hold Aberystwyth close with me and regularly visit when I can!

7 years later, I work within agriculture, managing 3 farms dotted around the UK, being an ambassador for campaigns by the farmers guardian and really doing well within my sector and I can honestly say this is thanks to my years studying in aber!

Amazing night life and uni life

I have had a wonderful time studying at Aberystwyth university despite having a couple of years effected by covid. They were really helpful with the worries and disruptions of covid and refunded a great deal of our rent due to the effects. My year in industry supervisor was extremely helpful and helped me gain valuable work experience and knowledge. The town is small but lots of character so good for any student wanting to study here. The facilities are fantastic and the staff are always willing to help.

Aberystwyth is an amazing university with top quality teaching and research especially in the Life sciences department. The town as a whole is unbelievablable with views of the Irish Sea and not too big everything is in within walking distance. The accommodation is in an ideal location for early morning lectures just a 5 minute walk to campus.

My freshers week was good but I chose not to attend any of the freshers events organised by my university. They were overpriced and the majority of the students chose to entertain themselves in the local pubs and clubs. Having said that, during freshers week I made some of my closest friends now. Aberystwyth offers a wide range of accommodation options all at different price points. I chose to live in one of the lower tier accommodations and I was very pleased with the halls of residence. We would also have regular flat inspections from senior students which was reassuring as the university wanted to make sure we were all happy with our accommodation. The university's facilities are outstanding! The library is so big and full of so many different books, I am in my final year of university and have used the library to the fullest throughout all my time at the university. I am a fine art student and have been bowled over by the school of art and it's fantastic facilities, I would highly recommend it to any budding young artist. Aberystwyths fine art course is exceptional. All the staff members have been extremely knowledgeable in their field and I have been able to learn so much from all of them. The lecturers are also really good with helping students who need an extra push academically, being one of them myself I am very grateful for the support with the academic side of my course. Whilst Aberystwyth is only a small place it is full of life and people from different walks of life. The nightlife is wonderful and I've made so many long time friends on a night out. Aberystwyth in particular, is a wonderful place to study as it's right by the sea. I've loved being able to go to the beach to clear my mind when studies have become too much.

It was good. Very informative and I made a lot of new friends It is amazing. I live here for free under the international scholarship and it is much better than a lot of other halls that I see Everything here is amazing. Even with covid regulations things are still very accessible The professors are good. They are understanding and helpful and friendly It is a small city but there is a lot of entertainment here. The beach is close and makes for good hangout spots.
