The small classes give the department a really intimate feel. The lecturers get to know you so you feel comfortable to make a valid contribution in lectures and tutorials. They are experts in their fields and keen to share this expertise with you, for example one lecturer arranged for a ceili band to come in to demonstrate the various types of music we had been studying.
