3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Apprenticeships are the way forward. However LSBU is brillant or shocking dependant on the lecture at the time. I think the level of work and pressure doing a degree while working is underestimated by employeers.

6/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Generally the whole course is well organised. Issues are the odd lecturer that is poorly prepared and the whole OneFile System has been ignored and I havent noticed any structure there at all.
