  • Iam student in Southampton and I would suggest not to opt maths department for it is very confusing to choose a final year project later like I was assigned an essay. Apart from this the university provides no appreciating support to students, the courses are poorely designed. Unnecessary dessertion assignment are compulsory to do and much more unpleasant things.
