Sort:Latest reviewsGreat university with great teaching. Amazing student experience and amazing city. I have met so many amazing people and have loved spending four years in Edinburgh.
Certainly world class in both its research and its teaching, something that is reflected in your everyday student life. A truly inspiring university located in the historic city centre of Edinburgh.
Unemployable and didn't enjoy my learning or student experience. I wouldn't recommend coz there are too many yahs and you don't get a very good education. I wouldn't bother with this place since everyone is so stuck up.
I`m not a student in it, because I`m not still at this age, but I give my vote for University of Edinburgh, because I dream of its perfection...and what better reason?
Edinburgh is a beautiful city and with a combined good student union, it makes way as a really fun place to study. There is so much to do here that you'll feel you won't have enough time to get through it all. However, I didn't enjoy my course because it lacked what I came for which was Maths. In the first two years, you take many outside courses which is a benefit to most however I wanted to concentrate and learn about my subject.
Best University in the world! I chose Edinburgh over a lot of big name universities back in the US and I am glad I did! I am also very glad that I decided to come to Scotland, challenging academics, Amazing nightlife!
Study hard, get good grades, get into uni. Good courses and lectures. Student Union is far away, but averagely good. Study what you like and university will be fantastic. People here, are from everywhere, good to socialize and live with them.
I am very keen on history so Edinburgh is te pecfect place for me with it's wonderfull architecture and historical places.I love going out with my friends and the campus is Nt far away from the centre.People should come and visit his place!
I think it’s a really cool place to study. All of my flatmates are awsome and I don’t have any problems with anybody apart from myself regarding studying. Lectures are really helpful tho I'm finding that when I don’t skip I understand pretty much everything in class. The cafeteria is really nice aswell, I am a big fan of all you can eat :P.
University generally is very good and I really enjoy the fact that the city life is very good and the campus of the uni is located in the heart of the city making it very easy to commute. Also I have made a lot of friends and the lecures are very interesting.
I like it so far, however, I'm thinking about changing the accommodation as I don't like it.The city is beautiful, but people aren't that attractive.
Great place for everyone. Medicine is challanging and need loyts of own time research. Many clubs and societies, would recommend every student to stay in the student halls, as most of the activities are going on thrughout the whole year in Pollock Halls. very good Scottish University, with great history.
Most of the letrures are useless, and needs improvement in terms of work structures. Student union is poor, and badly organized. Edinburgh is a great place for university, and really makes the uni experience unique. Good grades needed for University of Edinburgh, and it is pretty challanging to get into thrugh application. Motivation is needed, and interst towards the course is important. Great place to recommend, chose your degree carefully. Apply in time.
Up to moment I honestly don't feel like doing something here.The only thing that is kind of entertaining is spending time in the student's union.
Courses are good and interesting. Seminars are engaging. Socially the university is really good, clubs and societies are plenty, and you can see them all around the Unibversity. Student Halls are very coinvinient to stay in. I would recommend the societies and the clubs to all students.I tis very important to get social around here. Get a bus pass and enjoy the city. Edinburgh has much to offer.
I am really enjoying it. Great place, I would recomenned it to every student . I would tell students to get involved in societies, they are really passionate about because that is the best way tp make fantastic friends. International relations course is very interesting, worth taking it.
I enjoy my time here and the place where I'm staying.The course and the lectures are useful in general.You have to study in order to come here.
I enjoy the second semester more than the first one.My lectures are interesting and I don't have a lot of things for the course.However, I haven't joined any societies but I may try something the next year.
My advice is to work hard in order to get here.Edinburgh is a cool place for students who enjoy going out.Staying in the acoommodation is also preferable for the fisrt year.Yo have the chace to meet a lot of new friends.You won't regret it.

Great city to be in, have loved all my 4 years spent here. Not enough students from the home nations. University has a good reputation which helps trying to find jobs. Most time spent at vet school which has up to date technology and excellent staff.
Quite a small city but always fun
Society for everything
Never had a problem
