LEEDS BECKETT UNIVERSITY
Overall Rating

Would NOT recommend this course to students not based in the UK!!! Also, do NOT rely on it being punted as suitable to foreign students/ online learning or that there is support. Please trust me, this is not true. The so-called library support was extremely poor, could not source required readings (not available online) in my country. Genuine appeals to course leader helped little. E.g. when asked by lecturer for guidance to do (mandatory) UK based assignment, I was dismissed with the advise that "I should contact a county council and see if someone would be willing to assist me".

Please for your own sake, consider another university/ course.
Uni Facilities

Attended online as the course was advertised widely. Could not access university as I was foreign student.
Course and Lecturers

Self-taught, very limited support. Tutors' response times atrocious, slow, mostly unhelpful and borderline dismissive. Library support promised offered scant resources most of which were only available in hard copy. This course is utterly unsuitable for students based outside of the UK.
Job Prospects

Student Support

At first glance services offered appeared impressive. Once I ran into problems, asked for support their well-being support registration system kicked my request out as I was considered "outside of the age range" (i.e. too old)!!!!! Obtaining an online meeting with course leader took three weeks and was delayed on several occasions with very lame excuses.
