I love the wide range of module options and flexibility available to me in this degree course. There are fieldtrip opportunities, for example the opportunity to travel to Abisko Scientific Research station in Sweden to carry out research. All of my assignments are clearly set out to me so I know what is going on presently and in the future of my degree. read more

While it is a bit more expensive, especially for an international student, the course provides a large range of modules and topics, alongside a long list of field trips. Staff members are approachable and do not hesitate to help students and accommodate as many as possible. There are many chances to explore the natural beauty in and around the city, along with many other places in the UK and abroad. There are often talks about what jobs there are, how to write a CV and prepare for interviews but also many events, seminars and even mentorships that allow students to develop their job prospects after graduating. read more

I have learned a lot from this course, and I really appreciate the weekly lab sessions, which make me happy as someone who enjoys experiments. The only issue is that the course is quite challenging—learning everything within three years can feel quite stressful. However, despite the difficulty, it is a rewarding experience. read more
