Exploring history (the very first module) is a bit dull but it is necessary so you understand how to write your essays properly. The rest of the course content is great, you'll build a really good relationship with your personal tutors- they get that its hard but are so willing to go above and beyond to support you.

I like the flexibility of my course and some lecturers/modules are fantastic. But some are very boring and not engaging or well prepared. I would probably not do classics at Leeds again. read more
