Open Day
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

Most of my tutors are really nice and they always reply to my emails. There is also a lot of group work that’s hard because I prefer to study on my own to get a better grade.

The quality of time tabling is really good and there is always ability to change it around if it does not fit in with your schedule. The module content is very wide ranging and covers all aspects of the law as it should.

The modules are very well thought out and planned according to feedback given by students. The tutors are very supportive & helpful.
