Couldn’t be happier to have picked SRUC for veterinary nursing! It’s very practical based and really hands on which I love a lot. The lecturers are lovely and in our online (for now) lectures they make sure to try and keep us engaged and give us breaks as they know online learning can be a bit difficult and most of all they try to make it fun! If you’re looking to do veterinary nursing in Scotland I’d definitely recommend SRUC - you might be a bit hesitant at first since it’s out in the countryside and not a city but it’s definitely worth it for the practical learning than you receive on farm etc.

Hello people, Firstly, the top notch part of the university is you can be yourself completely irrespective of any religion or background you coming from. Secondly, the first day is always scary and weird but the Student service and the students their was very helpful in enrolment to all the query's. Thirdly, being a food blogger i always hog onto the best hygienic food which the university have so many options to provide. Fourthly, the beauty of the lake , surrounding is so surreal we just forget that it's a university. As you know every good side have a bad side too . Although so many people keep saying not to form racism groups but yet it's been seen. Also Their is not much interaction of all the student's in class which gets at a way worst. It would be good if you have some plays or fun interaction among the class so that everyone opens up with each other. Thank you and happy to join HWU .

The student life is great, and the campus is lovely The humanities and arts do not get enough funding and it is difficult to see the university funding expensive new buildings for subjects like Business when most of our faculties are struggling and do not have the funds to adequately support their students and pay their staff. This needs to change

The support from university and staff has been amazing! Teaching is outstanding and great facilities. Only downfall is Aberdeens student life and location, the campuses aren’t very close together for people who rely on public transport . I find being a driver just as hard due to lack of parking and costs. £5.75+ per day to park adds up a lot for someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family.

Great all round university with great balance of city and rurally located. Transport wise, its great within city. Although, it lacks proper parking for rurally located people (where public transport is not an option/viable option) as requires permit. To resolve this, a multistory carpark could be implemented or more bus links/shuttlebuses from locations outside of the city. The lack of public transport outside the city is a problem anyway, so may be worth considering relocating to city for duration of course. With regards to course, having already been a student previously, there are a lot more support systems in place to help aid students. Moreover, compared to other universities, the staff are more than happy to help. The small knit feel of the University and the city provides a homely lifestyle, easily and effortlessly. This is only furthered by the diversity of culture within the city and shire. The union is great, the staff are approachable and friendly. From initially becoming a student to my time here now, however, the union seems to be downsizing. I feel that this is an absolute shame as it provides an independent aspect to life as a student. It, in my opinion, has reduced the quality of student life as it miminises a student voice, independent of the university. That being said, there is a great range of mental health facilities in place now to enhance student lifestyle auch as free gym membership for students.

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.
