  • Overall a very good experience. Apart from that I have enjoyed my experience as a very, very mature student. Support is great feedback has been detailed but often late which has an impact on future work. Support is always there if needed. There are support sessions for mathematics, writing, and computing. It's up to you whether you have the courage to make use of the support offered. The university has various volunteering projects that contribute to the local community. They also have various summer research positions which work on improving human welfare in some way.
