  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel it it well organised and have learnt where everything is. At the beginning it can be a little overwhelming as there are so many sections but when you explore it and understand where everything is, it is then easier to navigate and i feel its structed well and if there were any concerns about how to find something the tutors always reply and help
