Purchase a Students' Coach Card at the very beginning if you plan to travel around in Britain. National Express provides a very good coach network, especially to/from airports.

Course recommendations
The exams took place only in the summer-term. It would be more reasonable to distribute exam dates throughout the year in order to enable students to better prepare for each module.
