Student Reviews
The Great Uni Experience
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The University of Liverpool has been very helpful, offering a range of different modules allowing us to expand our overall knowledge on Psychology.
Good!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed studying for my degree, however, I had so many modules stacked in one semester because they were low credit!
good but you have to suffer for the degree...
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed my degree and how well put together the courses were. Student support is very good and they help. The campus was nice and has many facilities within short distances. However, deadline seasons made me feel like I was being tortured (had three final exams in three days).
