This university has a great reputation and it is placed very high in the world university rankings. The courses are very intense and you will write a lot of exams. Although the exams are on a computer, which is great, no more writers cramp, the examiner can clearly see what you have written and the turn-around time for returning exams is 3 weeks maximum and your paper is emailed back to you with comments. You study one module at a time here, which really simplifies things, you are only learning about one topic and then you have an exam, which is a really efficient way to learn. Also, not a lot of emphasis is put on grades, which relieves you of some of the pressure of exams. You also have five attempts to pass each exam and the re-takes are not written on your transcript, which is really good news for us who struggle with writing exams. Most of the lecturers you will have here are professors, thus experts in their field, who are continually carrying out their own research, hence the equipment and skills used are the most up to date in the field.
