    Hi there,

    I've been finding some useful information about this programme on this forum. From what I've found, I'm very tempted to enroll - but I'd love to get some first-hand opinions on this before I commit. So, I was wondering - is anyone currently or was anyone previously enrolled in this programme? If so, what do you think about it? Are the materials good, did you get good academic support? How does this compare to studying history at a brick-and-mortar university?

    I also wish that they'd provide some sample study materials on the website, so that I knew what I'd be working with - the Open University does this, as do some other providers. The website is a bit sparse and I had to find a lot of information through other sources...

    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    J.

    London International..

    Am not doing history, but International Relations.

    Good school, good programs, and you can't beat the cost-reputation factor.

    Glad you're liking it, opinions about UoL haven't always been positive. Although according to this, the History BA is taught quite differently than the International Relations one (& quite a bit more costly), so I'm still hoping to find someone from this actual programme.

    Indeed..

    Yes, I've noticed the differences with Royal Holloway. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

    Best wishes and kind regards!!
