What students say about geography-and-earth-sciences

The support from university and staff has been amazing! Teaching is outstanding and great facilities. Only downfall is Aberdeens student life and location, the campuses aren’t very close together for people who rely on public transport . I find being a driver just as hard due to lack of parking and costs. £5.75+ per day to park adds up a lot for someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy family.

What students say about geography-and-earth-sciences

Hello people, Firstly, the top notch part of the university is you can be yourself completely irrespective of any religion or background you coming from. Secondly, the first day is always scary and weird but the Student service and the students their was very helpful in enrolment to all the query's. Thirdly, being a food blogger i always hog onto the best hygienic food which the university have so many options to provide. Fourthly, the beauty of the lake , surrounding is so surreal we just forget that it's a university. As you know every good side have a bad side too . Although so many people keep saying not to form racism groups but yet it's been seen. Also Their is not much interaction of all the student's in class which gets at a way worst. It would be good if you have some plays or fun interaction among the class so that everyone opens up with each other. Thank you and happy to join HWU .

The student life is great, and the campus is lovely The humanities and arts do not get enough funding and it is difficult to see the university funding expensive new buildings for subjects like Business when most of our faculties are struggling and do not have the funds to adequately support their students and pay their staff. This needs to change

What students say about geography-and-earth-sciences

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

What students say about geography-and-earth-sciences

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.

Great place to study; staff is awesome and courses are engaging. As for improvement, better health services, especially for mental health. Some of the underlying things are not what they seem: i.e. lecturers have to strike every semester just to get paid and the school can be too focused on its reputation to see the individual and their needs.

The staff are great! They are always there for support and I never feel like I do not have someone to approach when struggling. Having a personal tutor is so beneficial as well, as you always have them to talk to whether it be about your studies, personal matters or career paths! I also love that it is all one campus so no need to run between building to building making it to classes as they all link in some way. The student wellbeing service is also a great support system in place, the counselling service is extremely helpful and an amazing thing to have built into the university.

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!
