"I found the Department to be first rate. All the faculty members were friendly and accessible and so too were the staff working behind the scenes; there were always happy to help with any queries and problems that I had. I honestly enjoyed all aspects of the degree course. I think that I excelled because it was the first time that I was surrounded by people with a similar enthusiasm for the subject. I particularly liked the opportunity to participate in some open discussion style lectures".
