What students say about cultural-studies

A very chill campus, when you want to take a break from studying you can take a walk in the nature - go to the loch and look at the ducks/swans, breath clear air. Overall the university look and feel is pretty modern inside and has great facilities. It really gives you the opportunity to make most of uni. Also some lecturers make it absolutely amazing place. Overall students in my course are all really friendly and hardworking which creates a great helpful atmosphere where you can be yourself and study something you are passionate about with other people who are also passionate. Only problem I could think of is some shortcuts which are always muddy and make us avoid them, and need some stones added to, and some more car parking spaces closer to the uni. But that is subjective.

What students say about cultural-studies

One of the best aspects of studying at the University of Aberdeen is the strong academic support and access to great facilities, like the Sir Duncan Rice Library. The campus is also beautiful, and the student community is welcoming, which makes it easy to settle in and feel part of things. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, and there are plenty of resources available to support learning. However, an area for improvement would be increasing study spaces during busy times, as it can sometimes be hard to find a quiet spot, especially around exam periods. Additionally, having more streamlined access to online resources and library services in one place, like MyAberdeen, would make it even easier to access what we need for our studies.

What students say about cultural-studies

I think the staffs are quite helpful and friendly which makes it easier for us to co ordinate with them. To improve them i would say the classes starting form the morning 9 am should be delayed or it shouldn't be in tha time as students like me who lives far away its difficult to come and attend class at 9am. So i really hope the university will look in this time schedule .

What students say about cultural-studies

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.

What students say about cultural-studies

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!
