I love my course and everything about it. The teaching was great and brought out an eagerness to learn! I loved how broad the subjects were and there's always more to something, and university life truly humbles you. The course content is pretty great and expansive. My personal tutor was an absolute delight- very supportive and especially endearing. read more

I've had a great first year on this course. It isn't easy but its a good combination of subjects I love. Most of the modules are interesting but the downside of having all compulsory modules in the first year is that you have to sit through some subjects you don't care about at all. The subject tutors are helpful and willing to answer any questions, as for my personal tutor, I've never met with them. A con is that there is much more mathematical content in the first year, as you need to cover a lot of basics but it evens out in the other years and becomes a 50/50 split. read more
