I love it, I have to say. I think they changed the teaching style this year, or so i was told. They do a reverse teaching method where they give you work beforehand to prepare so the actual lesson is revision, and this means it stays in your mind better. I would say they teach very well. They teach parts of maths, business and a bit of economics. The only issue I have is that some of the modules are not that related to economics, like some of the maths that they teach is a mix of a bit of GCSE maths, A level maths and further maths A level, which is non-specific to economics, but it is still very helpful. There is also a module with mostly business, it is also very helpful, but since I am not familiar with economics, I thought that they could have that and then also add features of economics a level in it. There is another module that uses economics tho. They only generalise the others because our classes are mixed with other courses, like accounting finance, computer science, business read more
