What students say about religion

Great place to study due to its historical ties and the prestige of its education. However, it does leave a lot to be desired in other aspects of uni life, such as its students' union and its organisation.

What students say about religion

There are so many places to study and just chill on campus. Be it the cafes and restaurants around or the university buildings. It’s really really clean and tidy too. The staff here are so nice too really kind. Overall super nice uni would decide to study here again. An improvement id really appreciate is recorded tutorials since I think they’re really fast. The help desk online isn’t really helpful.

What students say about religion

The best aspects are: The campus itself, its really beautiful and really nice to be around so much nature. The societies on offer are brilliant because there are so many options and each one of them are properly run by enthusiastic people, plus they are very cheap to join. The sports clubs are also amazing with lots of options to choose from and you can meet people with similar hobbies. The worst aspects are: The buildings themselves can be very confusing and they do not look good from the outside. However the updated interior makes them very modern from the inside. There isn't a lot of space to study or eat because it is often very busy in the atrium which can be annoying.

What students say about religion

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

What students say about religion

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!

What students say about religion

Great place to study. The staff is amazing from the lecturers to the janitorial staff everyone is so nice friendly and welcoming. Better student health services especially surrounding mental health. This uni is so prestigious and focused on keeping up their reputation that sometimes the people working or learning aren’t heard. The individual isn’t heard and appreciated as much as they should be. Sometimes we just feel like numbers rather then valued individuals in this community.
