  Course
  
  My course is modular, so I can specialise my degree and study the modules that I am particularly interested in. Each module has at least 3 hours of contact time per week. Some modules have extra hours of practicals. We get adequate feedback on work, but not all of it it specific as there are lots of people on the module.
