So far i enjoy all my modules. Most of yhe students taking this course come from a sporting background, therefore that would be beneficial but it’s absolutely not necessary as they build you up as you go. The teaching is very interesting and dabbles between science-cy content to more evaluative and essay based content. I am really enjoying it so far read more

Really enjoy my course however through first semester my tutor being timetabled into a lecture when our allotted time was given on our timetable led to me and my tutor group to be at a severe disadvantage to others on my course especially with assignments and it’s hard to reach out to someone who I’ve never met face to face for help or advice in my opinion so feel as if if they are being a tutor should be able to be there for their students read more

The staff are very supportive and take the time to get to know students, this is helped by having a small group to start with.
