Most attentive lecturers I have encountered
Great university although admin staff could use a bit more training but the lecturers are incredible when it comes to teaching or consultations. They do their best to make classes more interactive and more fun rather than reading information all session.

Environment
The campus is really good - it encourages the students to communicate and have a social life, to which most university students actually look forward.
The teachers are really engaging and try their very best to allow the students to grow as individuals as well as academics.

Good Institution with a few flaws
Good institution.
I dislike the poor communication and mismanagement that can happen at crucial times such as exam season.
What I like is the ease of the programme due to their hands on approach to education
