The course is amazing. You can personalise what you learn and bring different streams together. When you graduate you can apply for more than one field because of the different skills we learnt. IN fact, we are better equipped than most Bioscience students in different fields. We have experience in sports science, environmental science, psychology, cell biology, immunology, bioinformatics and more. Not many students can say that. We also can choose to do a module in a different field like law or even anthropology. There is the perfect mix of online/face-to-face teaching, with good quality recordings available for both (although sometimes captions are disabled). HOWEVER. this course is a relatively new course. There are lots of problems with assigning assessments & other logistical problems that students on normal courses wont have. Sometimes you won't know you have an assignment until the day before or in rare cases after its due. Sometimes we get contacted about assessments not related to our stream and other times we dont get contacted about our assessments. Because we are in so many departments we don't get to work as a cohort together after 1st year. There are two people that do the same streams as me and thats all who I communicate with. The course is small not exceeding 20 students. Moreover, professors & lecturers don't always acknowledge we exist. In a cohort of over 300 biomedicine/pschyology/computer science students no one would realize the existence of the 2-3 students from Life Science. Which means they don't always inform us of any assessments. Our assessments are usually different from other courses but we don't always get the right information. Regarding professors. Its a hit or miss. You can have amazing lecturers or the worse lecturers that exists all depending on the streams you chose. The course leader is dismissive of these problems, always finding something or someone to blame, but active when he hears something good about the course. OVERALL. The course is amazing especially if you have an interest in more than one field. However, if you are ready to stay on your toes facing course logistical problems then you would do perfectly fine on this course.

Very heavy content and a lot of contact hours, but good notes uploaded by lecturers

Great uni

Great halls

lectures don’t really help

Have better module leaders.

Need more than one day for uni classes. One day a week is not enough. Need more interactive sessions with lecturers and more industry related guest lectures.

In class was a very good experience to be studying hope to have the same next semester.

Amenities are good!

Due to the pandemic the majority of classes were taught online. This made it difficult to form meaningful connections with professors. There was also a high turnover rate of professors. However, some of the professors tried really hard to give their students a great education!

N/A

great

There’s basically no facilities for education. Despite there being a building on campus supposedly for Education, we have yet to ever use it and it’s the Second Year of our course right now.
