Adult Nursing - BSc

University rating (4)

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.

Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology MSc

University rating (3)

The admin at this university do not care about international students once they're on campus. It was ridiculous trying to track down help for anything, and when you did, you often had to wait longer than the semester was scheduled for. They do not allow adult student to have adult issues during their period of study, and you harshly punished for it, and any pleas you make for leniency in your coursework are put under a microscope and judged by people with their noses in the air.

Secondary Education (Dual Qualification) PGDE

University rating (2)

They do not follow any strict rules in grading. It is subjective opinion of the moderator I had same submission corrected three times and each time different comments for failing were given The only good thing in the college was the student support

The best aspect of my University is their Student support and I rate them the best in this regard, while their grading system is a bit too conservative, and I would wish that they become a little more liberal with marks/grades.

Biochemistry

University rating (5)

The worst experience at the university of Dundee dated back in 2018. I was a student for just two months, due to carer responsibilities and financial difficulties I had to leave. I did not know who to talk to, the staff helped to point me in the right direction, however my personal experiences as a student here felt like a missed opportunity for Dundee university to provide guidance on the matter. I decided to work and earn enough to pay for two years of funding. I returned back to Dundee university in 2021, having resolved my personal circumstances. The university has been very accommodating for my return, providing me with student support in counselling, health services and with my responsibilities as a remote carer at home. This personal triumph and direct support received by the university has been the best experience of my lifetime. My return to Dundee has been an extraordinary experience, joining many societies has opened up all the opportunities every student should have. A great community and helpful tutors to guide the learning process. My mental health as a carer has excelled and prospered! I believe the university can be improved to advertise to students with personal issues affecting their studies. More emphasis is needed on mental health to make situations like my own universal knowledge to all students. To campaign for student's mental health should be made more awareness and accessibility across the university.

Fine Art (Digital Media, Drawing and Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture) - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

My course is very self-led, which means we have a lot of freedom to lead our own learning - but also means we have to be incredibly reliant on self-motivation and ability to develop our own skills.
