Teaching quality is mostly very high. Most lectures are always willing to help outside of lecture time with any module. Personal tutor has not benefited me at all. I enjoy the course content especially in third year. Until now some modules has been irreverent to astrophysics though and directed towards physics. Would prefer more Astro related modules in second and first year. Good value for money due since I can receive help whenever I need it at a short notice read more
