Great course for value of money. Covers a lot of stuff and could be fun. Teaching Quality varries a lot. Some modules tutors are beyond great, while others not so much, very inconsistent. Personal tutors are helpful and hands on with supporting you. A lot of career related support as well, like job offers, real scenario assignments and lectures from employers and people in the feild. They help you find your niche of interest as well. Overall because of teaching quality, wouldn't make it my first option at northumbria. read more
