Academic
Course recommendations
If you do a Postgraduate course then you pretty much have no choice what courses to take. The quality of teaching is a bit dissapointing as its really theoretical and not at all practial. Teachers dont have the same marking standards and thus your grades tend to fluctuate. Teachers dont seem to be very eager to help, but this depends on the teacher and department I guess..

Personal comments
As I said before, teachers have different marking standards and thus I didnt really like it.. Exams were packed into one week giving you little time to revise and prepare.

Personal spending habits
The Uk is more expensive than any other European Country... but going drinking is actually much cheaper than at home!! On Wednesdays you can get drinks for as cheap as 1 pound!! Go to the Union (University) and there it applies every day I believe!

Postgraduate students that finish at the end of August always want to sell their things so if you arrive at that time there are many bargains to be made!

Housing
Type of housing: Private Student House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Even though the student accomodation was good, a private flat does give you the privacy you otherwise don't have.

Every Wednesday there is an International Students night organized by the University and where you go to a different Pub each week and after to a club! Its nice and it gives you the chance to meet new people. BLo, Cube or Garage are good
