London Metropolitan University Anmeldelser 

Dreadful staff and ethics failed me after falling ill with bipolar relapse and when I asked my dissertation tutor Katrin bain to write me a linkedin reference after achieving a first she blocked me

JAMES KING. I am writing this review because the bullying needs to stop. James king is a computer science lecturer in Londonmet & he is the worst lecturer I met. He is sooo rude to all the students and his colleague Richa. He has no respect or a sense of human touch to him. He is like a rude ai bot. He swears at students in his class who are not good with speaking English & he bullies all the ethic minorities. I don’t know how this man has a job but I’m surprised no one has slapped him yet. London metropolitan university please if you want the uni rankings to go up then please get rid of lecturers like James King. He is a plague in that university

Worst Experience of My Life – London Metropolitan University

One of the worst decisions of my life was taking admission for a postgraduate degree at London Metropolitan University. I honestly do not have enough words to describe how poor and disappointing this university is. In my opinion, the level of management, support, and academic fairness is extremely low.

I came to the UK as an international student with dreams of building my future. Unfortunately, my terrible experience started very early. I had a serious accident where I fell from the second floor and broke my leg. Doctors gave me an official medical sick note stating that I should not walk for 8 weeks. However, the university departments showed no sympathy or understanding. They told me that I could only take 3 weeks off, otherwise my visa sponsorship would be withdrawn.

Despite my serious injury, I had no choice but to attend classes. I travelled in a wheelchair, going from Croydon to the Holloway Road campus, changing five buses just to attend classes. Instead of support, I only faced pressure and threats from the university administration.

My academic experience was equally unfair. One professor, Steven Curtis, repeatedly failed my assignments for extremely minor issues such as a small referencing mistake. Imagine spending weeks writing a 5,000-word assignment, only to receive 0 marks out of 100 because of one or two referencing errors. This happened three separate times, which severely damaged my academic progress and future opportunities.

The Student Union was completely useless. I approached them for help and guidance, but they provided no meaningful support at all. Every department I contacted either ignored my situation or made things even more difficult. There was no proper system where students could walk in and speak to someone directly, and calling departments was almost impossible. The only option was sending emails and waiting endlessly for replies that rarely solved anything.

At the same time, my health condition became worse. To make matters even worse, doctors in the UK performed a surgery that did not go well, which further complicated my recovery. While I was already struggling with medical issues, the university continued to put pressure on me instead of providing support or reasonable accommodations.

I strongly believe that discrimination also played a role in how I was treated. When I failed a module, the university simply said they did not care about my medical condition. Their only response was: pay again and repeat the module, or leave the UK and return to your home country. I was forced to pay again for the module, plus additional visa fees and Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).

Even after paying everything again, I was failed once more. At that point it felt like the system was designed to take money from international students rather than support their education.

In total, I have lost £60,000–£70,000 pursuing a degree that brought me nothing but stress, humiliation, and disappointment. Instead of helping students build their future, this university destroyed my confidence, my finances, and my opportunities.

My honest advice to anyone considering studying here: please think very carefully before applying to London Metropolitan University. There are many better universities in the UK that treat students with fairness, respect, and professionalism. Choosing the wrong university can cost you years of your life, your health, and a huge amount of money.

I studied here. I felt ostracised in the classroom and found the lecturers were not so helpful. There was no support with placements and I spent £60,000 plus on a degree i can't use.
