The content decent but would like more modern topics/ more of a range other than the basics. It would be nice for more support when writing essays. read more

The course didn't inspire me as much as it probably should have - I found myself doing the work because I had to and not because I enjoyed it and wanted to achieve. Most tutors are very good though - I started working part time to improve job prospects as the course does not assist you in this. read more

I love this course and all the staff on it. All staff members are so passionate, interesting and dedicated. There's a lot of consideration for the student's personal circumstance. I have not got an Academic Advisor for some reason - must have been due to my change in course - which would be handy but hopefully that is easily sorted. read more
