First year only 6 months of teaching and some is online feels a bit of a joke how much we have to pay for it. Most teaching is great. Course content very interesting and what i was experiencing however we can no longer select optional modules for second year as promised when starting the course. Told us we would be moving campuses but now it is up in the air after paying for accommodation close to the new campus and away from the current one. Many job opportunities such as police, prison, probation, psychologist etc.

Overall the course has been great. The majority of tutors are absolutely wonderful. The only downside to this course has been the number of cancelled lectures and our contact ours. People from other courses often commented on how I was in university less often than them and how they'd expect me to be in more often. Placements are great and incredibly useful though! read more

The tutors read off of slides and often offer no extra support. When they do offer advice and support it often does not reflect in grading, as if yoy follow their advice in the mark up it often says it was wrong and you lose points. It's so inconsistent.

Going through the motions best describes this course. The teachers don't care about you or your degree and only work there because they have to for money. They are the least passionate people I have ever met. And apart for my tutor David Reynolds, everyone is useless, unhelpful and don't respond to emails. Dissertation choice is the worst as you pick 5 studies out of maybe 40, most of which have little research around them and make for a poor dissertation choice and you can't pick a preference of those 5 so you just have to hope you get the one you want. Even if you do get the one you want, you'll probably not do well because Uni doesn't even have up to date free software to carry them out with and your dissertation leader will be about as helpful as a spooked rabbit desperately trying to avoid you. If I could go back in time and pick another uni, I wouldn't even consider going back here. read more
