I love studying my course - there's a very good range of modules, a lot of support from seminar leads and lecturers, and your personal tutor is always there to help. Lectures are always engaging, though short, and there's a good studying-life balance.

I like my course. It is interesting. No exams so expect 2 formal essays a month. Timetable is a bit heavy for a first year humanities student. read more

I'm having a great time on the American lit course- the group is very small, and the teaching is friendly, relaxed, and interesting. I have found some of the English course less exciting, but as you can choose your courses later on, I am having a better time. read more
