Social research is terrible, nothing is of interest and two lecturers should remain researchers, not teachers. Politics department is great, all of the people i've met are passionate about their work and are happy to help- same with philosophy. I couldn't fault them. The work load requires a lot of independent reading. More should be done than contact hours, and i have 8 a week. read more

I’ve really enjoyed my course so far – the teaching quality is strong, the content is engaging, and the lecturers are very knowledgeable and supportive. The course has challenged me academically while also giving me opportunities to grow in confidence and skills. One area that could be improved, however, is the lack of multiple sources of feedback. Most of the time, feedback comes in a single format, which can feel limiting. Having more varied and detailed feedback would make it easier to understand how to improve and develop further. read more
