Lecturers are very impersonal if you're doing a large course. All questions get sent to the faculty email and answered by (?). If they get answered. Responses can simply be 'this was covered in lectures'. Tutorials and assignments were nothing like the exams, either exam period. If you're thinking of studying Maths specifically - don't. I know multiple people who have changed courses, dropped out, multiple have told me they're redoing the year. Which reflects how poorly everything is taught, more than anything. 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

My personal tutor is lovely. Beyond that, the teaching is incredibly poor, bar a few outstanding lecturers. Module content isn't particularly stimulating, by third year, reciting proofs of formulae is mind-numbingly boring. I'd do something else. read more
