Top notch course! Lecturers are truly passionate, the teaching is really good, and a lot of support and drop ins / office hours are available. My personal tutor has been really good and active throughout the year, even during the pandemic (tho that might vary from person to person). The content is very interesting though a few subjects can be slightly boring at times. read more
