Best decision I’ve made was applying for this course, it’s been amazing. The topics are varied and interesting, we are constantly learning new topics and facts which keeps me enjoying the course. We also get tested every few weeks so it encourages us to keep on top of the work and attending lectures. The essay questions given to choose from are all interesting choices so therefore I enjoy writing the essay and completing research on the topic. I also like with the double honours course is that it varies in topics and gives me plenty to learn and think about. I’d recommend this course to anyone, there’s so many skills and opportunities which come from this course. read more

I really enjoy my course and I find it interesting. Some of the lecturers are excellent in relaying information and keeping the attention of students, and some are a little more difficult to learn from, however the majority are great. The course content is extensive yet compacted to make it not overwhelming most of the time. read more

Told we're meant to review slides before hand and lecturers often just read of slides so feels pointless going to them sometimes (but no uncommon across unis) and a lot of first year is context covered by A-level and GCSE but otherwise really interesting and good recap but feels like you're teaching yourself read more
