There is a much stronger
interface between student
and lecturer.
Jake, LLM International Legal Studies
It feels a lot less
like someone just
lecturing to us and
is much more a
group effort in
working and
learning.
Beki , MSc Forensic Psychology
You are expected to do
a lot of reading around
each topic – it is not enough
to just learn what you are given
during the lectures.
Nicolo, MRes Medical Sciences
You are treated
on a similar level
to other academic
colleagues.
Kenneth, MSc E-Business
(Information Systems)
As a postgraduate student
I am expected to do
more self-directed
learning where module
leaders provide guidance
and supervision.
Anubhi, MSc Automation
and Control
Smaller classes make
learning more
interactive.
Mark, MA International
Politics (Critical Geopolitics)
The postgraduate course has
proved a lot more challenging
than I expected and this
has really helped push my
learning and develop
my skills.
Lysander, MRes Medical Sciences
I am enjoying studying
in such a diverse
and interesting
environment.

I feel like I’m being
encouraged to think
for myself.
