Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

The student union is a great relief for me as an international student and I've found it really helpful in many occasions. I don't find anything unappealing till now but one thing I would look forward to have is more cultural festivals as I'm feeling very much homesick

Best - Good location close to the city centre. Plenty of buses pass through Oxford Rd however during busy times they do fill up quickly. Worst - DASS (Disabled Student Support) have been really disappointing, they made me a support plan before I arrived but a lot of this did not get followed until I chased it up myself. Trying to get in contact with them feels near impossible and getting extra support for university presentations has taken months and one of the presentations has already passed despite contacting DASS weeks prior.

Best aspect is the wonderful array of societies and extra curricular activities on campus, including my personal favourite Musicality! Worst part is probably the obscene charge for student card replacements, mine was stolen and I was still asked to pay £15!

Astronomy is the study of everything related to outer space and the cosmos, such as the planets, stars and galaxies. Often combined with physics, studying astronomy at uni will allow you to explore the fundamental questions about our universe. You’ll learn through theoretical knowledge, as well as by using practical facilities like observatories, planetariums, labs, telescopes and computing equipment. You’ll be taught about topics like the origins and evolution of planets and stars, the structure of galaxies and the evolution of the universe. During your degree, you may also get the chance to do a work placement or year in industry, which will provide practical experience to help increase your employability. After graduating, it’s common to go into further study by doing a master’s or PhD, or go straight into employment working towards roles like research scientist, astronomer and meteorologist.
