If I wanted to study just psychology, I would have chosen that course. Second year in particular seems very lazy and not very interesting. But this is no reflection on any lecturers or tutors as they are all informative and willing to help where they can. read more

Having done this course it feels like all lecturers were helpful. Uni was ruined by the pandemic and now it seems that online lectures are the better way except when we were first introduced to the course we were told it was better to come into class than to playback the online lectures. I do feel that I would have been better support if class had been in person the whole time, however, staff did do the best they could in a difficult time. read more

Forensic Science with Criminology, BSc Hons FullTime
When applying for this course i thought it would be all based on the forensic aspect but after being here for 7 weeks or so now i have realised that this degree is based around a number of different subjects including Chemistry, Law and criminology as well as forensics and biology. I believe this aspect of the course gives a student a better chance of future employment as they have a wider area that they can apply for due to the different areas covered. read more
