I don’t think as a whole University is worth all the money you pay as most the content is just handed to you. It’s hard to fully understand sometimes on your own. read more

The university is small compared to others, so the classes and content are somewhat limited. There are not a lot of inspiring options in terms of optional modules, but I don't doubt that the courses being taught aren't good enough. Since they are accredited by the BPS, the classes are informational and useful, but they don't inspire curiosity in the students. I also feel a little disappointed because the class sizes are very large, and I feel like there is no one-on-one activities or interactive aspects within the lectures. The modules are easy to understand and the homework is easy to pass, but I don't feel challenged like I thought I would be. read more

I think this course is for people who are really set on this topic, however, if you are not completely interested then it will seem quite boring to you. Most of the classes are on PowerPoint and the teachers read off the slides and show videos. If you miss a class, it doesn’t really matter depending on the circumstances because all the coursework is online on Moodle. read more

I have loved my experience here so far! All the lecturers are super friendly and helpful, so if you don't understand anything in the lecture they are always approachable to ask them afterwards! They treat you like a person and not just a number which I love, because it makes you feel valued! There is nothing I would fault with my course! read more
