I certainly won’t forget the enthusiasm the lecturers have for the topics they lead. The passion they have is constantly evident and makes the content more exciting and memorable: a huge benefit in my work so far following my PGPSM. They are passionate about providing freedom to students in the projects they can offer; every single lecturer was interested in new ideas students had and willing to have their preconceptions challenged.
