3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Communication between university and employer is lacking, was not assigned a in work mentor with weekly meetings. Was given support with some of my assignments when taken into my own hands, little known about the structure of the degree by management

3/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The time lines for deadlines run too close together, submitting an assignment for a module on a sunday night, and starting a new module on the monday morning. Does not correlate with my organisation as much as I thought it would.

Not as much as initially promised. Assigned a buddy in my first week but they did not stay in touch with me. Only when I raised this issue was support offered.
