Interesting course, great course leads. The entire school of government is very supportive and well led. There are many extra curricular activities and often guest speakers which are always interesting. read more

I really enjoy the course but I have no clue who my personal academic tutor is. The system doesn't really work, especially for people who do more than one subject. read more

Studying a new subject at university has definitely provided me with new transferable skills that can be used when looking at jobs in the future. The only downfall is the strikes, which is why the value for money has lost its rating. read more

I’m afraid the tutor responses and support is very poor. They do not respond to student queries re modules , which wastes students time. Lecturers were also on strike which fragments the students learning. The students should have a refund on this as it’s not acceptable read more

Good variety of modules in 2nd and 3rd year. Engaging lecturers who do want the best for you. In first year a compulsory module is research skills and methods, which is actually one of the most useful module ever as it teaches you how to write a uni essay properly. This was something I was quite anxious about, so very glad to have this module to set me up well for my degree. read more
