Sociology degrees in Edinburgh

The best part of my uni experience has definitely been the support from the lecturers and the quality of the teaching. In physiotherapy, the hands-on learning and practical sessions have helped me grow so much in confidence, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care about our progress. There’s also a great sense of community on campus, which makes it easy to feel settled and motivated. The main thing that could be improved is organisation. Timetables, assessments, and placement information can sometimes come through a bit last-minute, which adds stress during busy periods. More study spaces and quicker feedback on assignments would also make a big difference. Overall, it’s a brilliant place to study with passionate staff and great opportunities, and with a few tweaks to communication and organisation it would be even better.

I think the university has a lot of good societies and clubs for students to join, making it easier to meet people and make friends. All the lecturers and staff are really engaged in our learning, they want to support us to do our best and try to make adjustments to the course/assignments where they can to help us. I do think the buildings could be better for people with disabilities, such as more automatic doors, ensuring lift maintenance is a priority and putting card scanners for doors in a accessible location. I also think it would be good if there was options to pick up extra modules or tutoring for those that need help with English or want extra help/studies on certain elements of their course or want to learn something new on the side.

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.
