Health Studies degrees in Scotland

I love Heriot-Watt's campus. It's full of nature and gorgeous. In terms of improvements, I would appreciate if the university provided rentable lockers because as someone who travels hours to get to uni I have a lot of stuff which I don't want to have to carry around all day.

This is the first time I'm a full-time student in a university so I'm not able to compare to any other universities. Because I'm a mature student My opinion might not really matter because 99.9% of the students are young adults and they look at the University in a different way, so it might be silly to share of my personal perspective. Overall I'm not going to complain. I'm just happy to be able to go to university. However, there are many small things that I noticed and could be improved, but if I think about it I might just just think I better accept and not complain

University of the West of Scotland (UWS) has always been a welcoming institution that actively encourages students to better themselves both personally and academically. Multiple opportunities are made available to benefit students in various ways - whether it be casual jobs that earn some extra money without having a detrimental impact upon studies or extra classes to recap challenging topics or provide additional qualifications such as secondary language, First Aid, etc. However, due to the size of UWS (spread across four campuses), there is a clear lack of communication amongst staff and this ultimately affects students. The focus appears to be on the main campus (Paisley) and students on other campuses may feel isolated.

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

The facilities are great, we have access to everything we need for our coursework and more. There is a gym and loads of options for sport. The uni holds events for all sorts of holidays and activities. The student union is really supportive. There are great initiatives for sustainability. Student life separate from the uni, as far as I’ve noticed, is very nightlife based but that might just be because I haven’t explored enough.

UHI is a fantastic university for distance learning courses. The support that they provide is assuring, teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, and the intended learning outcomes are very clearly outlined from the very start. Accordingly, I enthusiastically recommend studying the PG distance learning courses through the UHI!
