Best: good course content, good location for transport and social life etc Worst: buildings are outdated, the new union makeover is such a downgrade and the union is disappointing in terms of cost and facilities
Best aspects would be the social life and having the experience to do dissection Worst aspects would be lack of support
Best: social life, interesting course content Worst: lack of student support, student union now disappointing and overly expensive
Food should be more affordable. Liar makeover isnt nice or practical.
Very personal feel to teaching. Lecturers always making an effort to help even out of University hours. University is less than 5 minutes away from city centre. Course is very diverse and enjoyable.

The location is ideal with the city centre being only a 5 minute walk away. There are plenty of really lovely coffee shops near by to grab caffeine in-between classes or stop for lunch. The campus itself is quick and easy to navigate with buildings being really well signposted for the most part. The student union offers free breakfast for all students (Monday to Friday) in order to help in the current economic crisis. Even if this was not the case, the food offered if extremely well priced and tastes great. The main library has different floors to accommodate different study types (group, quiet, silent etc) so you can find somewhere that suits how you work best. The library has also great facilities such as bookable rooms, the ability to reserve textbooks etc. My only criticism would be any online teaching aspects. In person classes are normally recorded and released later that day. Quite often there is errors where the video won’t have recorded properly or there is sound issues, however lecturers are often quick to find a way to fix this issue such as uploading the lecture from a previous year instead.

Dundee Uni has a great location, it is in the town centre, its a really cheap city to live in as a student. Socially Dundee is amazing, since its a fairly small city and the uni takes up a lot of it, you will always bump in to people you know. It has great nights out, though the Union has sort of gone downhill after Covid. The Biomedical course, is really great, the lecturers are really into it and there are lots of research facilities and projects to partake in. One thing that I would say it would need to improve is its Sports Facilities, compared to other unis we are really old dated. Additionally return the Dundee Union, to its prime for parties and event nights.

Initially I only chose Dundee because I live close but I've been pleasantly surprised. Campus is in a very suitable location for commuters especially and it's safe. I have never had a bad experience with staff so far, tutors, lecturers, and advisors have helped me. The university is clean and everything is new. My classes haven't taken over my life either, I've had time weekly to work on assignments and also focus on my life outside of uni. Not to mention the university is diverse which means a lot to me because i didn't have that experience in high school. Within my first week at Dundee I made a massive network of friends from similar background or religion and that perhaps has been the best thing about my experience. It would be good if there was more cafe social areas around campus, there's only a couple and I feel there could be bigger and modern ones. The liar is too cramped around midday.
I have enjoyed my course so far and didn't have a problem with lectures since they have been in person for the most part. But I personally realised the course isn't for me especially in terms of career prospects, and the career advisors helped me realise this. So a good thing about the humanities MA programmes is there is flexibility to take electives from other schools and degrees in the chance that you may change degree pathway before third year. I'm in the process of switching to economics and I find it amazing that someone who started with a politics degree can have the option to change to a quantitative discipline. That feature of the MA programme allowed me to do what I want once I realised it, a lot of people will be stuck without the chance of changing the degree. I definitely think there could be more emphasis on career choices in early stages of the degree, I heard about general pathways but wasn't informed how difficult and complex it can actually be to get these roles purely just with an undergraduate degree
