In students' own words
★★★★
Mixed but mostly good
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city — the city is a brilliant stud
Final year · Part-time
★★★★
Good but not perfect
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — good transport link
