Law, University of Winchester

Love the course

Difficult, fun, challenging, amazing tutors, love it all!

How do I review value for money? The course offers a lot more in terms of developing practical skills instead of just writing essays - which some course at other uni's don't

A budding law department in its early days. Friendly lecturers always willing to give you their time. Still some room for improvement.

Hard work

Some really good, some not so good lecturers. Limited course choices in some cases due to being a small university.

One of the worst run departments in the country. Do not give 'a monkeys' about student welfare, and tend to sweep any issues or problems under the carpet. If they know they're in the wrong or feel threatened they'll either silence you or fight it until the bitter end. Unfair grading, tend to mark on a basis of what they want to hear or in line with their own opinion and what they view is the correct answer... don't ever use your own opinion or do anything different or 'think outside the box' on assignments or exams. You will get marked down or fail, even if it does answer the question! Very bad communication between lecturers and other department members. Seems to have a huge problem in hiring or even keeping a competent administrator for more than a year. During my time here, however, events and activities tailored towards employability have improved, and some lecturers genuinely care about their students and their success.
