English Language and Literature - MA (Hons)

University of Aberdeen

The faculty LLMVC is incredibly supportive, and the campus facilities, especially the library, are excellent. There’s a real sense of community here.

University of Aberdeen, is located at a beautiful place whilst people in it are also beautiful in and out. As a student coming from another end of the world, this place made me feel home. The compassionate nature of professors and the fun and fuzzy sense of students, didn’t make me feel homesick, but the cold Scottish weather got me sick. University of Aberdeen is a great place to study, due to the legacy it holds, and the reputation of the university made me want to study here. The other reason for me to choose UoA is because of Scotland as Robert Burns is my personal favourite poet, learning his legacy and literature at his own place (Scotland) is my dream. The professors at the university, are too kind and supportive they even offer pastoral care, as an international student I find it really helpful about it. The Student services provided are efficient and effective, I tried one of their classes and it was really helpful. I’d like to conclude my experience by saying that, it has been only 3 weeks of starting university but it already feels very good, and I would highly recommend UoA to my family and friends.

Amazing campus and all classes are very engaging however the only issue is how far the accomodation is from campus. Other than that I love it here :)

One of my favourite things is the Library, each floor has different noise levels, it's great to focus and is on campus so you're only ever a 10minute walk away maximum meaning in-between lectures you're able to go catch up on work. There are always events going on either at student accom, student union, through societies or the multi faith chaplaincy etc. So there are many opportunities to meet new people. However I would say that if you're studying medicine it's a separate campus so more time is dedicated to travel (though still not a lot), also it's around 15min walk from student accom to campus which isn't the most fun in winter however is still completely doable

I really enjoy studying at the university of Aberdeen, from the stunning buildings to the courses offered to us. However, the uni Starbucks shut down which was a key place for me to study so I wish that wasn’t shut down.
