Accounting and Finance, MSc

University rating (5)

One of the best aspects of studying at the University of Aberdeen is the strong academic support and access to great facilities, like the Sir Duncan Rice Library. The campus is also beautiful, and the student community is welcoming, which makes it easy to settle in and feel part of things. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, and there are plenty of resources available to support learning. However, an area for improvement would be increasing study spaces during busy times, as it can sometimes be hard to find a quiet spot, especially around exam periods. Additionally, having more streamlined access to online resources and library services in one place, like MyAberdeen, would make it even easier to access what we need for our studies.

Psychology MA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The university campus does offer a vast range of spaces and environments to study such as the library, but opening a place that has a chilled out vibe such as reopening the campus starbucks, would allow for a less stressful environment and could open new opportunities for projects such as group work

The university is such a good place to study because of the location, the culture of the people leaving there and past students that excel from the university.

Process Safety MSc

University rating (4)

Best aspect is the teaching itself and facilities to aid learning. While the worst aspect is that student don't have social life and the Aberdeen 's weather is not friendly.
