I've been exceedingly happy with the course I've chosen. The teaching has been very good, I've been able to mold the course according to my interests. Research opportunities have been good. My personal tutor has been very helpful. The course content in the first two years is more general but becomes a lot more specific during Honours. Great course highly recommend. read more
