What students say about town-and-country-planning

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.

A lot of the courses aren't really standardised. Some use Moodle a lot, some don't. Though that might also be the lecturers trying to customise it to their teaching style. Lecturers are a mixed bag. Some read directly from slides, others actually try and engage with the class. Depends on what subject.

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.

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!

What students say about town-and-country-planning

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.
