Super interesting degree with interesting lectures and a good split for assessments. On the other hand, some lecturers simply read off of the slides and I’ve never met my personal tutor. You have to seek out help if you need it; however, when you do this it is available. The social sciences building is lovely but there is not much of a course community for any social science degree. read more

No course is really value for money if I'm being honest. Some core modules can be a bit boring but they're necessary. As for tutors/lecturers it varies widely, some are great, others are awful. Lots of opportunities in social work, social research, or crime. read more
