Marine Biology, BSc Hons FullTime
- Course: Marine Resource Development and Protection - Bad value for money. 7800 pounds paid for pretty bad quality - Bad support and communication by university staff, nothing individual, very superficial. Some of the staff cannot be bothered to reply to emails relating to their courses. - Some of the modules had very demotivated or incompetent lecturers (one was often sick and the courses were never repeated, one did her lecture in very demotivated speech in a very bad English, one did not seem to know his subject very well) - Your grade heavily depends on how smart you chose your subjects and your dissertation supervisor (modules and dissertation) - You never get any detailed feedback on your exams or on your dissertation. You get a grade and that's it. - I hope that other British Universities offer at least some quality for the money they take read more
