Climate Change Finance and Investment MSc

University rating (4)

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.

Celtic and Linguistics - MA (Hons)

University rating (3)

Cool libraries, lots of societies. Bad support for mental health. A lot of posh folk, but they live in cliques so you don't really have to interact with them if you don't want to.

First of all, Edinburgh University is located in a beautiful city, the capital of the British country of Scotland. It has many opportunities for non-academic activities and great places for coffee and food. The University is fully modernised, with excellent facilities and amenities. The academic environment is very friendly and there is always help available for students, be it for work or mental health.

Japanese - MA (Hons)

University rating (4)

I love the city. Edinburgh is big enough have the cosmopolitan element of a city, but small enough that it is not as overwhelming as most cities. It's beautiful and full of history. The university itself is great, all my teachers are supportive and available to help with any questions immediately. I think that mental health services could be better.

Business with Marketing - MA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Edinburgh is an open minded and welcoming city. Most people you encounter at the University of Edinburgh will be willing to help you out and get settled. Its a very prestigious and academically rigorous institution, however the university provides student support throughout the whole academic experience.
