SO much fun as a degree!! We had so many trips to various beaches around the North-East, we spent a week in Scotland, we went to Bermuda... They are trying to make changes to the course at the moment and I hope they don't go through with the changes to be honest - it will be a big mistake on their part. So do some research and ask the lecturers in detail if any changes have been made. If so, the course will not be as good as when I did it read more

When trying to revise some content is often not explained clearly and sometimes unorganised on the slides. My course has also had issues with professors grading essays as my course is still waiting on a mark that was meant to be released a month ago and the students have not been informed for the release date. read more

I had a very mixed experience with my course, some of the modules were great especially the biotechnology module but due to lecturers being spread thinly with little time on their hands, the quality of lectures / teaching / experiments was, at some times, poor. read more

With everything being online and no labs being in person it's just too much money. 1st year that was normal was good value of money though. Most professors are great but not all of them. Personal tutor is great just not always helpful. Course content not what i expected. Too much plant biology which I'm not a fan of personally. You could find a lot of jobs with a biology degree read more
