Politics, Loughborough University

Such a great course. Really enjoyed it

Love my course, some bits are boring but can be very engaging. Gave me a passion for politics.

Great course

In the first year it feels like a waste of time, you learn things which have no use and it almost feels like you are paying 9k a year to just get through to the second year.

Love it

Just finishing my first year. Brilliant lectures, nice varied modules, next year there's so much oppurtunity to choose!

Loved how much opportunity there is to personalise my course by picking from a huge range of module options

opened my eyes to everything that I wanted to do

Lovely stuff, Cheers Ian

Provided support for me through my course, with lecturers ready to help out when necessary.

The curriculum covers a wide range of knowledge, as well as practical courses. The teacher is very careful and responsible.

Great content and amazing teaching staff - I've had good relationships with my academic advisor, dissertation supervisor, and other lecturers. Flexibility to choose modules in second and third year with varied and interesting topics available to study. Opportunity to switch to a placement or year abroad sandwich course, can decide as late as second year so there's no need to make a decision when applying to university.

Modules for the course could be better

Politics and International relations provide many opportunities to student in order to investigate about special study field.

The course has been very interesting so far and the lecturers have all provided good guidance with coursework and exams.

Value for money at 1 star because nothing is worth £9,250 a year of debt plus maintenance. Teaching quality is of high standard and personal tutors are always there to give guidance when needed. The module choices are broad and offer really fun and interesting subjects to cover.

Largely enjoyable and we'll balanced. Quite a broad selection of topics with more contact hours than most unis. That being said, some lecturers have had a tendency towards bias.

Really great course. Lecturers are helpful and know the course very well. The modules are all very engaging and 2nd year is pretty much all chosen making the course easily customisable to your interests

Content was taught well but wasn't taught how to write essays or what they look for in essays

I would like to be learning more about the job prospects available to me in years to come on my course

The POLIS team are really great, helpful and caring. They are willing to help at evry turn and they draw on their own experiences to help you understand the subject. Every module is taught by an expert in the field and with bigger modules shared between two experts teaching different parts of the world or subject. They giver you a varied view on politics and no views are unheard or suppressed

Personal tutor has not had much contact since 1st semester but the course content and teaching has been great.

Course is great and the teaching is amazing

Love the course and the content that I’m being taught.

The course doesn't prepare you for any particular career or job really and the content you will never need to know again. On the plus side it's not too hard as long as you put a bit of effort in. Therefore I would say that the course is worth it if you really want to go to loughborough and enjoy the experience but doesn't teach you or give you any practical skills
