The University is great in many respects and has been amazing for me throughout my undergrad and masters, all my lecturers have been supportive and great, whilst also facilitating my growth. I think one issue a lot of us students are seeing is how the University is focusing more on its appearance and money than students themselves, for example the fact the University has announced a huge new construction projects but there are buildings already at the University that look worn down and old, a bit like a facade. Additionally course programmes are not always specific about what they do precisely want from references as referencing systems themselves have different rules in them (e.g. Harvard allows for both listing out all the authors names or just the main author followed by et al in the reference list)

My course is very in depth and thought-provoking, containing a lot of information, and the course itself is one of the few UK universities that offers a masters that combined disaster management with national security. That being said, the course does seem to heavily focus on disaster management more than Intelligence or Security which I do think is a shame.

Teaching staff are fantastic. There’s a huge amount of student support services, and everyone who works there is friendly. They’ve recently had a lot of redundancies of teaching staff which negatively affects the course delivery. So that’s been a real disappointment.

Fantastic course, would recommend it to everyone. Really fantastic lecturers, who give you a huge amount of support.
