MA History
The lecturers in the history faculty are excellent scholars providing me a wonderful education. The only qualm I have with the university is that the administration is extremely unresponsive and slow in every aspect. They gave me great funding opportunities, but made me reconfirm that I had that funding in the first place after sending me an email that I was in debt with them (which I shouldn’t be because my education is mostly covered with a U.S. student loan and the other part is covered through a scholarship). Additionally, the international office is also slow and unresponsive to queries about the documents I needed to submit to both UKVI and them. Additionally, the spaces could use sprucing up. Otherwise, I enjoy my time here and do not regret coming here for university.

Really relaxed and friendly environment. Enthusiastic, masochistic staff and a wide variety of chances to get involved. The clubs and societies offer a great deal of support to aid with self motivation and self belief. I would recommend taking adavatage of these.

Be as outgoing as possible. You want to stand out in the crowd and make yourself known. I like my course and find it very rewarding when I out the work in and get the marks i need. Tutors are quite supportive and make sure you use them to your advantage and as much as possible.
