- As I do a joint degree it’s difficult to give an overall rating as I am involved with two different schools. I have never had issues with my timetable although the quality of teaching can vary drastically depending on who your lecturer or tutor is- some may require you to put in more independent studying.

- I enjoy being at university and have settled in well. A lot of my lectures and tutors have been very helpful and supportive however I have had a few where I feel the teaching lacks somewhat. I think the university provides good facilities and the student life is great with many different societies to get involved with.
