Loads of content and independent reading (even though we don't get a reading week). Due to limited time, feedback from lecturers usually isn't very thorough. read more
Psychology, BSc Hons FullTime
Lecturers are very supportive when helping with assignments (even if there are 300 people on a module) and tutors reach out to check on your progress when needed. I find the course really engaging and the choice of modules from doing psychology is pretty good, although how your credits will be spread does have to be considered! Additionally, there are many opportunities to get involved in research throughout the year (as a participant or as an assistant). read more

Being 1st in the world, the value for money is 100% worth it! The teachers are experts in there fields and ensure top quality teaching experiences where they can pass on the latest, up-to-date information. My personal tutor is always there when I need him, with regular check ins and opportunities to see him if I’m struggling. The course covers everything relevant in relation to sport and exercise and after completing my 1st year I feel confident I have the knowledge to take on 2nd year. With the prestige Loughborough comers with, the job prospects are good positions within good establishments. read more
