Loving it so far, the lectures and seminar tutors are really enthusiastic about what they teach which makes me excited to learn as a student. However, with all the strikes taking place due to the unfair wages that the invaluable teaching staff are receiving I feel as though the money that I’m paying to attend here isn’t going to the people who deserve it most. More respect for worker’s rights would cause less interruptions in my learning.

I really enjoyed the content covered in my first year of this degree. The strikes did interrupt my learning quite a bit, but the lecturers did their best to accommodate for this missed time with amendments made to the end of year examinations. read more

I'm actually doing my Master in Medieval Studies (it wasn't present in the drop-down menu) - I really enjoy it! The classes are very tiny, 10-15 people max, so we can always have some really good discussions. The modules are varied and very interesting. I'm very happy with my choice. read more
