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.

Legitimately a terrible course. Not really a subject, more of a skill that used to be just an expectation I'm addition to ones actual qualifications. I'm not particularly intelligent but this course is easier than A-Levels. Currently planning on dropping out come September.

The structure, content, quality and feedback are all fantastic. Timetabling can sometimes be a let down with last minute changes which can be frustrating
