Syeds Review
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I am having a wonderful experience. Friendly atmosphere and good faculty
Studying at University
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I have been quite happy to have find some direction when I wanted to study at postgraduate level and complete a course at master level. I have received a lot of support from the coach at the University and also felt supported during the time of COVID 19 to find other department within the University to continue with the course.
Not the best curriculum for me but a valuable experience nevertheless
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
It was not what I expected in terms of curriculum but it's still a great university
