What students say about microbiology

Academic-wise: Staff members are friendly, polite, and professional. Curriculum accurately reflects and prepares you for the challenges you will face as a working professional in your field. Student life: Has been the highlight of my stay. Everyone is warm, inclusive and supportive regardless of your background. Variety of events conducted throughout semester. Plenty of co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities should you wish to pursue them, with plenty of support from students and staff alike. Uni's location is not ideal for me, it can be confusing navigating the campus looking for your building and classroom. Moreover, the facilities are great but limited and always high in demand, so not enough to go around for everyone. All in all, an excellent choice for higher studies regardless of your education level, background, or interests. There is always something for everyone here at UofG.

What students say about microbiology

I adore the campus and I am proud to say that I have studied at Aberdeen. The support services are excellent and lecturers are generally excellent. However, there is not a lot going on round about the uni and transport links are not great in Aberdeen. The students union leaves a lot to be desired.

What students say about microbiology

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.
