I really enjoy the course and the people I've met and it's definitely a chill time with challenging moments but compared to other departments, SELCS gets so little money and nothing ever happens - no socials, nothing offered despite paying the same amount as STEM students or even BASC students who get socials, free or paid, parties etc. Also the admin is incredibly slow. The teachers are for the most part lovely though, especially Benjamin in French and ALL the Spanish teachers. The content is varied and interesting especially the history/culture modules. Definitely very hands on teaching experience too. read more

I’ have a really positive experience with my course at UCL. The teaching quality of SELCS department is good and professors are approachable and always willing to offer support and guidance. The course content is well-structured and intellectually stimulating, with a good balance between theory and practice and oral skills. read more

Good course, some modules are hit and miss, personally I wish there was an option to drop Sociology second year but this isn't a massive issue. Personal Tutors are great, First term module teachers were amazing especially Shaun Foley! read more
