Biological Sciences with Foundation Year, BSc Hons FullTime
Most of the teachers are really nice, however the foundation year course is pretty much just the exact same thing as what was taught as A-Level, which made it pretty boring to go through.

My personal tutor isn’t very nice, but most of the other teachers are friendly and good at talking about their topics. I sometimes feel like lecturers aren’t passionate about what they teach which makes it difficult to focus but they explain things clearly. 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
