What students say about this university

711 comments (138 students)

- The time table isn’t always the best when you have a lecture at 9 and another one at 5. But the lecturers are great. You have to do mandatory tutorials which involves answering problem questions and discussing in a group. But you study a great deal of different aspects of the law and learn a lot about other legal systems. The lecture recordings are often uploaded online afterwards which makes revising a lot easier. It’s a good course but it’s a lot of work and very difficult so it has to be something you are passionate about or else you won’t keep up

- During the day the campus is very busy and has a lot going on. At night the Union is usually pretty lively
