" Perfect for mature students who are working and still want to study on the side. Therefore, evening courses are available to you. I would not recommend a full-time job with full-time studies but this is possible if you can handle it. However, what is recommended is full-time work and part-time and study which I did and enjoyed my time there. "

" Great if you wanna do evening studies as they are very flexible. However, poor academic staff, non-existent administrators, most modules cant be practiced in real life and they are mostly theoretical. No socials/can't make easily friends as everyone is so busy with their day time jobs. "

" University aimed at evening learning, but didn't specify on the website that Full Time learning would be 4 days a week, when in fact it was only 3. You only receive 9 hours of total contact hours for the LLB Full-time Law Course. The lecturers do their best with responding with to student emails, however the administrative staff are a bit of a hit and miss. Not ideal for students who want to have a social life, as it is an evening university, and they need to promote more on extra-curricular activities. "

" Good university when it comes to lectures, but the staff are underpaid. Make sure you choose the right course, otherwise it can feel pointless. It's really your passion that gets you through. The people here are what make the university great. "

" The lecturers are really good and bring a lot of experience to their teaching. However, student support could be improved with better access to information to assist students more effectively. "
