Generally solid course, insanely pricey for an international student fee (30k+/year). Teaching styke was accommodating but many times felt boring or slow, although topic context could be to blame. I personally do not have much to gain from a BSc in Chemistry, but the concept of a STEM degree is always attractive, and this course is well fitted with multiple applicable modules for any chemical career. read more

It’s quite early on to tell, a lot of support is offered, however I feel the teaching style doesn’t benefit me any more than independent study. So far, I’ve had a lecturer be double booked and have to be between classes, sometimes for over 30 minutes at a time. This was with no warning beforehand. However, staff are very welcoming and friendly read more
