It is a smaller uni so easier to get more contact with lectures. My course is small by comparison to others so we get lots of opportunity for 1 on 1 time with lecturers if we are struggling with any topics.

Love this university. Could do more improvements on the athletics department. Allow for more uni funding to sports societies to fulfil goals.

Loving university. Enjoying second year even more than the first. Good balance between academia and time off. So many future opportunities available and chances to make connections with people in the industry.
