The politics department provides nothing outside of readings. No networking opportunities, interesting events with high-level speakers, internship options or exchanges. Not even a dedicated study space for politics undergrads. The degrees can be done online and that's what most people did. There's absolutely nothing that can justify the price, especially when compared to other European universities. read more

Don't have a personal tutor. For the fact that we're paying 10,500 sterling, I was not impressed. Still a decent course. read more

Left the course because it was not challenging to me, i was not getting value for money, and we were treated as just another £9000 income, so impersonal. read more
