The course is 100% in person and a mixture of lectures (with around 100 people) and seminars (with 15-20 people)

Great location. Fire alarms don’t work on all floors. During a recent fire, the fire alarm in the flat directly above where the fire happened didn’t go off. They didn’t know there was a fire until the fire brigade turned up and evacuated them.

Sometimes it feels like you are barely there or there all the time. There's no in-between I have a few online classes which is helpful for.me as someone who struggles with their mental health

While the course provides a solid foundation in psychology, some students may find limited opportunities for hands-on research experience or specialised study areas

There is good blended learning, which includes online lectures and in person lectures and a good mix of IT sessions and practical seminars. Furthermore in the first year there is a good amount of contact time which supports your leaning and helps you transition from collage or sixth form into university life

I like how my course is being taught and would want no changes.

The best aspects of my course are the incredible lecturers who truly care. The worst aspects of my course are the support with essays for students who’s first language is not english.

I loved the location of these halls however i was put in a flat with all boys which wasn’t fun.

All lessons are face to face which is very reliable especially for case studies and group work.

It was in class course.

I love the way it is maintained

Not much contact time

There is no specific guidance provided at time of assessment.
