Terrible. Be prepared to be taught by PhD students who don't know much, even in third year. Very unimpressive staff, except for maybe two or three professors who give good lectures. Annoying feedback system that isn't really helpful - you end up at the end of the year with huge portfolios to submit all at once, instead of submitting throughout the year. Personal tutor always absent. They mostly value talkative students (those who won't stop talking but haven't actually done the reading). Honestly, if you want to do English, go somewhere else. read more
