I went there for a university interview for BA textile design . I was nervous as it was and was destined to go to this university, I practiced and planned my portfolio from back to front, word by word for what I wanted to say. This was my main chance. As I went to the interview with a woman from textile design the first thing she said was have you got the right course..... your a graphics student. I have never felt so dis heartened before from your work it doesn't seem like your going to be textile design. Since planning all my work on this topic and course, it has all been put to shame the first second of my interview. Not only that but she did not bring my portfolio over to discuss like all the other interviews and in my case I didn't get a chance. The experience was horrible, boring and insulting. Then I got an email for a place there. I feel the university is not what it makes out to be, it doesn't have good management skills for people who are spending a lot of money to go there. It doesn't shine for me. They need politeness and a bit of enthusiasm for people to think the university selection process and interviews isn't that bad and is all okay.

The worst university I have ever been in. I studied Bachelor degree in Accounting in Middlesex University before I came to London Met.

I decided to go for a career change and study a teaching degree. For the 2 years I been in London Met doing BE'd Early years teaching degree. I was not supported whatsoever. Any complaint that I would provide was taken in a very negative manner. Going to placements in schools was not about the trainee student teacher. It was all about how to kiss a** to the school in order for school to accept more students from the university and for the university not to loose the school.

If you stand up for yourself you will be put down, and probably kicked out, which what happened to me.

I would not recommend this University for anyone. They are completely disorganized and lecturers don't have any knowledge or experience whatsoever. In those 2 years in London Met, I developed severe depression from the way I been treated and I am currently under medication and counselling because of the them.

The university staff are a combination of cold and careless in the event of any unforeseen personal circumstances. They treat you as if you are a nuisance for giving them work to do, and do not care to point you in the right direction or show any empathy towards your plight however valid. Of course there is the odd gem of a professor that you might take the risk for, but generally they are not qualified as actual teachers, and do not provide a service worthy of nearly £10,000 a year.

Enjoy!

I have a year course at London met for which I paid about £2000. The quality of teaching is extremely poor. The course leader uses some students, whom just completed the same course last year, as qualified lecturer. They don't have any teaching qualifications and even don't have an MA.

The teachers are rude, shout at you for asking a question and are generally the most miserable people I have ever had the misfortune to be in the same room with. No wonder they are in such a bad mood - the university is simply hopeless. The rooms are badly equipped, half the labs are not open when you need them, and they can't even get their paperwork done without messing it up. Sometimes it takes more than 2 months to get an essay back, and when you do, they only have a mark for you but no feedback sheet, because they lost it - along with the essay they were supposed to give back to you.

The teaching is poor, they rush through the materials and when you ask other students, they simply scratch their heads and say that they did not understand the lecture either. When it comes to doing the assignments and the students ask what they need to do, they get fobbed off by the lecturers.

The drop-out rates are horrendous. Even if you did better than DDD at A level, you are not safe. London Met will grind you down. I have seen people drop out who already had degrees and had gone back to study again. If you can at all avoid this place, don't waste your time and £9k a year here.

I studied in Londonmet between 2002 and 2006, I did Electronic and Communication Engineering and had the best time of my life there, some of my teachers were international recognized figures in the field of science and research, some very knowledgeable people, the way the program was structured was also very good with a good mix of theory and practice, the labs equipment was up to standard for us to practice all that we'd learned in the lessons and the uni itself provided all that a student could ever need.

I have read mixed reviews about London Met before I started my degree there and wanted to see what the place really is all about. The university has modernised some buildings and has a good reputation on some of its courses.

After three years of studying at London Met I can say that this is probably the worse university ever! The place should not even be called a university! Half of the lecturers don't speak enough English teach or articulate their ideas. At last 80% of students don't speak enough English to write essays or participate in discussions. The clubs and societies at the university are either born-again Nigerian / African Christian or Muslim - nothing wrong with religion, but this place is a breeding ground for radicals of either conviction. Teachers love giving their religious opinions on all kinds of topics and subjects, making this university heavily prejudice. Even worse, sometimes teachers don't show up for classes. People give out Islamist literature and try to convert you into becoming Muslim or born again Christian. There is no learning going on at this place at all! I have seen community colleges in lesser developed areas of England who have higher standards of learning and teaching.

Projects and assessments are dumbed-down to make sure people who don't speak enough English can get a UK degree. The university fosters under-preformance and encourages students to stay lazy and dumb. There is a handful of brilliant lecturers who probably ruined their career by staying at this place. The school has increased its tuition fees and now there is an even bigger gap when it comes to value for money. They over-charge for under-performance. The whole place is appalling.

Nobody should ever ever EVER study there. The place is completely delusional. It's should not be called a UK University. Thinking about studying there? Run away as fast as you can and never look back!

I had a great time there

I couldn't even begin to tell you how much I hated this university, I advise everyone to visit this university if you are EVER considering applying especially North Campus where I was studying, I remember my first day I actually cried, the tutors are not helpful, the students are all maturer and I was studying media studies at ladbroke house (closing down this year) and our lecturers didn't have no windows at all. Its just making me mad thinking about it now, luckily i got transferred to Brunel (Amazing). Goodluck to those who are there and for those of you considering this, please I STRONGLY Advise you go see the university before making your final decision.

I have spent the best time of my academic life in London Metropolitan University.
