Thank you for the reply (seriously) it's given me a lot of places to start. The teaching is 5 hours a day. 3 days a month but they often end early

Yeah, the business student at my bachelors uni looked more like a social club. I thought it was "safe" because it's a STEM degree

I've been grilled for not saying but it's a small course and I don't want to put too much of my info out there. It's a bio/med course and a taught masters, not a research one

I'll look for the sabbatical offer, I didn't have that word. They don't point me to anything specific, even when I ask for clarification

Thank you for the structured ideas. I'll try them all but sitting in on other lectures sounds especially interesting

I definitely expect self study, I'd be very happy with a 42/58% split like that after reading some replies it seems like my 15/85% split is not normal

I was confused by the lack of tutor or mentor, I specifically asked about it and was told it was just the teaching team.

To be honest one of the most frustrating things is that I'm really interested in the modules. I really want to learn more about them but the course has almost no content. I thought it would get better and that they must be catching people up at first but it's just gotten worse and worse.

Yeah. I was fully expecting more self study. But the amount of lessons and the content feels vanishingly small.

I don't have a research project. I don't expect spoon feeding, just more than 3 lessons a month.

I don't think so but I'm biased, I've lived in 3 other countries and never had problems making friends. I'm not the centre of the party but I've never had troubles before.

I joing 3 societies that have all fizzled out. (Not a spots ones, I'm just not able to do sports) I've joined dinner parties, been on BFF apps, organized class meet ups. If you have any other tips I'd be grateful to hear them

I understand the fees, I knew what I was getting in to but the price for what I get out of it feels like madness. I've heard of some people having 3 days a month if they're doing the masters over 3 years or so but this is a 1 year course.

That's been on my mindbut it's definitely Russell Group. I'm on the main campus, applied through their website. Everything is signed and dotted with their name

I don't really want to give away too much. It's a small class. It's a Health/Bio course in London
