It has been really good. Made lots of friends and the life outside of university is really fun. I enjoy my time in class, however feel I learn more during my practice placement education. The theory we learn in class comes to life through placement and allows for further skill development. The skills developed through placement will advance my existing skill set from the theory based educational setting of the classroom to allow me to succeed in my future profession. The library is very accessible with many resources that allow me to further succeed in my studies. The LDC offers many educational sessions as well as one-to-one sessions you can book to help enable success. The professors do make themselves available and care about your success if you approach them. I would rather have a different learning style in which we are graded on more than one assignment, to have more ability to showcase our different skill set.

My uni prescibes personal tutors that really help with providing contacts that i can reach out to for work experience. They also advertise all relevant work experience opportunities on blackboard.

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
It is very practical and hands on which j like. However it tends to be repetituve and a lot of lectures are so self intuitive which makes me wonder why they are even relevant which I really dislike.
