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.

Module content is hefty however really enjoyable. Coursework is easy to do and hand in and feedback is helpful. Lectures are good and are recorded so if you miss them you’ll be able to catch up. However, module structure depends on the lecturer so some are organised and some are not.
