Tutors seem to genuinely care about the education and try to be as supportive as they can be. Sometimes there is sometimes information which can only be known by talking to the tutors and left out online. read more

NOTE: Software Engineering BSc (Hons) was my undergraduate course, but I am writing about MSc Information Technology. Unfortunately this system is stupid because the list of courses it not up-to-date and it forces me to select one. MSc IT has excellent units, with "Research Methods and Professional Issues" easily being the best, but one unit in particular "Data Mangement" is not very entry-level friendly despite the corse allegedly being suitable for people changing from other industries to IT. Also I don't know what the system means by "Personal Tutor", but my Academic Advisor and Project Supervisor are both excellent. read more
