Again, nothing special. It is ok but feels like we are just being talked at rather than to a lot of the time. Lecturers tend to read off of slides and make mistakes when writing our exam, and always tell us to proof read. read more

I thoroughly enjoy the BSc Psychology course at Reading. The teaching is high quality, and lectures offer student office hours for us to go and seek academic support if needed. The work load is not overbearing and allows you time to do your own research. There are around 12 contact hours per week. read more

Lectures are frequent and lots of seminars and workshops so i feel like in terms of amount of teaching it was good value for money, like a decent amount of contact hours. Can’t be thrilled about academic tutor wasn’t very good and hard to converse with but i have a new one for second year so hopefully a better experience. Overall lecturers were really great Phil LAL lecture was soo good and LB lecturer was also amazing so engaging. read more

I am honestly unsure. I’m an international student so it’s quite expensive for me and I’m honestly really stressed about it. The quality of teaching really depends on the student and lecturer. I’ve got some lecturer I really learn well from, and some I don’t particularity like. However they are all very helpful if you have any questions. read more

The course is so popular our lectures are packed. This means you dont really get to meet anyone on your course as everyone sits silently watching the lectures. It would also be better if the lectures were more active so that students would engage more in the course and eachother. read more
