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

I enjoy my course greatly although it can be difficult and stressful at times. I find that with deadlines, I get my work done although I may lose a few hairs along the way. The teachers are are nice, and although some may be blunt in telling you that you are not good at something, it can motivate you to do better and prove them wrong. Me classmates are good and lessons are interactive. I haven't spoken much to my personal tutor so I don't know much about them but they seem nice. read more
