How can prospective students benefit from student reviews?

It鈥檚 not always easy to make a judgment just by looking through a university prospectus. Student reviews offer an extra resource when finding an uni that's right for you.

University reviews can give you answers to questions you hadn鈥檛 got around to asking and let you explore aspects of a university experience you may not have even considered.

Whatuni reviews show the best and worst in each category, so depending on what you want to gain from your university experience, you can find out everything from how big or small class sizes are to what sports facilities are available and how often students get tutorials with faculty members.

How do I find student reviews?

All reviews are listed on Whatuni鈥檚 '' page. You can use the search and filter bars at the top of the page to find specific institution course reviews. You can also filter by keywords, meaning your search results will only show reviews that mention specific things.

The reviews cover a broad range of topics; you can get information on how a university equips its students for the future, how well it supports students' experiences, or how it scores for teaching.

If you read a review on the website and want to know more about a specific university, you can go straight to the uni鈥檚 profile.
