Read morePositive aspects would be the interesting content, challenging assessment, and the level of compassion and support demonstrated by the School of Psychology staff. Negative aspects would be the lack of support services for revision and extra learning, such as the Student Learning Advisors in the Business School. Students who struggle particularly with statistics and math overall will need to seek outside assistance much of the time.
My advice to future students - Get yourself into a study group for revision and assessment. You'll learn more and be able to use each other's strengths to counter your weaknesses. I learned way more when revising with friends.
