Positives: great and diverse course content and good teaching quality. Negatives: poor value for money due to incessant strikes, my personal tutor was useless and non existent so we had no relationship at all. Also jobs prospects are bleak to say the least but I believe this may be the fault of the careers service rather than the actual course itself. read more

Honestly, I don't think uni should cost 9 grand a year so in that sense its poor value for money. but I am really enjoying the course and lecturers are good (some more engaging than others!) read more

A great course - challenging from time to time - but that is just what uni is. Most modules can be individually chosen and thus most modules are interesting. read more

After first year, the teachers are amazing and passionate. It's so much easier to learn when the person teaching you actually cares deeply about their subject. Content could be more diverse but there still a decent range in philosophy and politics. read more
