Class sizes
The typical student intake per year is up to 30. Lectures are normally attended by 30-90, and seminars/tutorials by 15-30, based on 2018 intake. This varies by module, particularly if they are shared between degrees.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
