I have also enjoyed getting to know the people on my course. The cohort was relatively small, which meant we all got to know each other well and act as a support network throughout the year.

I have found the staff are very committed to making sure the year was enjoyed by us all and have offered regular opportunities for feedback so that the course can continue to be enhanced. Additionally, most of the lecturers are delivering content on research they have undertaken themselves, which places us in an ideal position to question and explore their research to gain full understanding.

Additionally, I play football and knowing I would be able to continue to represent the University alongside my master’s degree really appealed to me. I know the lecturers are understanding of the commitments that comes with playing a sport at University and they have always worked with me to ensure I can fulfil my commitments to both my degree and my sport.
