Very satisfied with this university overall. Campus facilities are modern-looking and well equipped. The best thing about this univeristy is that there is a free shuttle bus service between the campuses.
I will fully recommend this university to future students! I received a lot of help from staff and teachers. English is not my first language but I felt always accepted and I received advice to improve my academic skills.
Overall I have enjoyed my university experience. The teaching from lecturers have been very helpful. Although I think they could improve and help students more effectively in regards to the dissertation and provide further resources
