What students say about literature

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 literature

It’s a small uni which makes it easier to access support and one to one meetings with tutors and student services. This uni provides great services such as CELT which helps you with academic writing and tech support. The only negative is its location. Although it is within a university city, the city is small and the nightlife is not that of other, bigger cities.

Best has been first and third year. In my second year there was a huge lack of communication between staff causing us all to miss out on multiple opportunities eg: work placements. It was very disappointing.

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)
