What students say about economics

PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for those needing extra math tuition is an incredible resource. - Lecturers are always quick to respond to questions and available for feedback out with timetabled classes. - The facilities available to electrical engineering students (the GRiD in particular) is very good. More advanced equipment is available to those who require it through research projects or other related endeavours. - The university shop and various cafes/canteens all have quality products and competitive prices. CONS - Some course have suffered when lecturers are delivering them for their first time. This is understandable however. - Issues with inaccurate or frequently fluctuating timetables can be frustrating at times.

What students say about economics

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.

What students say about economics

It's really great because the modules are interesting and the content is accessible. Teachers are supportive and societies are good. It could be improved by being more true to its environmentalist message considering its acceptance of Ai. Also on campus accomodation has some reoccurring issues with showers going cold due to the heating aspect of the showers being old.

What students say about economics

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.
