Very good course, you get a sense that the tutors really want to be here and teaching. The content is a mixture of policy, research skills, and theory based. The tutors are friendly and approachable and always willing to help when you have a question. When you are here, it doesn't feel like you are part of a course, It feel like you are part of a family.
