  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I think COVID and lockdown has not helped with the structure as we had to pause and i think this then let to losing motivation. I think communication between uni and their students could be better. there is a lot of work involved and assignments when we are working as well and have other commitments it can be hard to juggle.

  • The uni offers a lot of support. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is amazing at offering support when needed and there is always help in terms of IT at the uni. the lecturers are always offering support too when needed and extensions if needed. i feel there is support when we need it and when we ask.
