In students' own words
★★★★
Genuinely worthwhile
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — the city is a brilliant student
Postgraduate · Part-time
★★★★
Solid, with caveats
It's been a mixed experience, but mostly positive. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city — local cost
