Personal recommendation
The university offers a wide range of courses to choose from. Additionally on each course you are allowed to choose modules to adjust the curriculum to your personal needs. I'm quite satisfied with the course I have taken up. The university staff was always approachable and helpful. Both the lectures and seminars were lead in a proper and easy to follow manner.

Personal comments
University activities (lectures, seminars) and self study allowed me deepen my knowledge of business English. After one-year stay in UK I have no problems in comprehending business and financial books and academic articles published in English. My everyday English was also greatly improved and the whole stay was of a great value for my personal development.

Personal comments
Living in student accommodation gave me an opportunity to meet students with different cultural backgrounds. Although the price of accommodation was rather high, and some facilities had a poor standard, overall I have enjoyed my stay in university halls of residence.
