Majority of the lectures are great. They're enthusiastic and passionate about their subject. The course content is mostly great, as a human geographer though I do dislike some of the more physical/science based modules. You get a really good variety with this course though and genuinely learn lots. The uni also run an award scheme where you can get help to get work experience and begin your career journey which is really helpful. read more
