I only averaged around 9 contact hours per week, though this is apparently common for the course. All lecturers and staff were incredibly knowledgeable about their subject and a wide range of courses were offered. The Politics department also arranged for a number of interesting guest lecturers and speakers throughout the year, ranging from diplomats to terrorism experts.

Not offered as much as other courses in terms of contact time and resources and help considering we're all paying the same £9000 a year. Other courses were made to check in with their personal tutor once a week which I think is a great idea read more
