Overall, a nice university. I like it.
As an ECA student, workshops spaces are sometimes hard to book, especially towards the end of each semester, takes a lot of time for waiting. As a PD student, there seems only two main lecturers teaching over the programme for all years. Probably more teaching staff is needed, to reduce lecturer’s workload and increase student’s experience.
Very good university with a great learning atmosphere and a good library. There are lots of activities to attend.
Have been quite satisfied for the past five years.
The University of Edinburgh is an outstanding institution with a rich history and a diverse range of academic programs. The campus is beautiful, and the faculty and staff are supportive.
Great learning support services and interesting classmates.
Great university with good reputation. Friendly staff and learning opportunities.
Almost everything with the University of Edinburgh is good. The only bad things is accommodations. Finding accommodation in Edinburgh is very difficult if the international student comes to Edinburgh without booking accommodation. Indeed, it is NIGHTMARE. Other perspectives are excellent except accommodation
Fine, it’s ok but I hope you can do something better. For example, the striking
The school life is really happy but it is also stressful sometimes.
Nice view and good quality of education
It is so nice! And the place of the uni is ez find as well
Very special study experience here.
Maybe the communion between several campus can be improved.
It's good university with a few institutional problems, they are too easy to take Chinese money and their are far too many strikes for international students especially that pay so much to be here
Do not hope too much from UoE, times can be hard and services are not good enough.
Its alright it is what it is you know
Have only really been to Easter bush, pleasance and the main library, but experience so far is good
Goes above and beyond to help students with their onward study or placement/graduate jobs.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooood job
In my personal experience, I have nothing to complain about
a nice university to study in, teaching could be more engaging
Good university. The facilities are good. The support available is lacklustre as it’s mainly student led.
Brilliant facilities, always feel at a distance from lecturers
Good facilities but I found the teaching wasn't the best and the uni itself cared more about money than the students.
The university is great for its eduction quality and student experience, and the city of Edinburgh is fantastic. My year here is really wonderful and unforgettable.
Good university, seemingly a lot of social clubs. Little expensive...
Good staff support and equipment available to rent when needed
I'm doing archaeology and social anthropology at the university of Edinburgh. I really like it. The facilities are class and the campus is beautiful and very walkable. The student support is also great.
Good but can be better on teaching and organisation
So far, I feel the school is very student friendly, particularly towards International and Exchange students such as myself.
Wonderful teaching environment and excellent teacher/ staff helping me to solve all the problems I had
Internet connection is very unstable!
workload at UoE is really heavy and I feel extremely stressful. Luckily, the clubs and societies at UoE provide me with several interesting opportunities to relax myself.
Eduroam is quite temperamental, it doesn’t work in lecture halls but it does in Maki and Ramen???
It‘s a lovely place to learn new things and experience with new friends.
Staffs are very helpful in answering the questions and are passionate about the subjects they teach
It is a beautiful campus with facilities that are usually in function with little upset
Great facilities and people. Very accessible
Strongly recommend to invite more valuable companies to our school’s career fair. I am sad to hear about that our school is not some big companies’ target school, even though we are top 20 in QS. What a joke.
Good quality of teaching, great variety of courses, amazing societies and clubs
Great place to study. Facilities are great too. Would like to have free shuttle busses to other campuses as they’re not in walking distance from central campus.
Really good university with lots of facilities
I have had no issues with any of the above, and I know that, if any problems arise, I can receive a quick response!
A great university, which provides amazing support for my learning, as well as offering high standard of teaching.
Good for study, and can meet some new friends
The university facilities are very good
a pretty good university, good
There are food shops near the street, so no worries about finding places to eat.
Good school, hope you can be stronger in the future!
Everything is pretty nice! I like it!
A magnificent university, staffs are extremely professional and responsible. With a beautiful and impressive campus, it is my pleasure to have a academic experience here
Love this place. Music school staffs are super wholesome, badminton club is the best club ever.
really nice with knowledgeable staff and convenient devices which really help me understand lecture more easily. The school free shuttle bus solve the transportation problem between different college, which is really frequent that make my school easier
Well respected University with professors always available to help you.
Good University, the course structure could improve
Only there for first year so not much to comment
University of Edinburgh provides great academic facilities with an extraordinary social experience and networking.
The best University with diversity of programs.
really nice university, people are nice, and I have learnt a lot :)
It's a university, nice cafes and a big library but awful pastoral services and working conditions for staff.
Good place I’d you’re self motivated and manage to find a community,
decent, lacking some things but its uni
Beautiful city for student life.
UOFE is a well equipped university, however, the university has some questionable investors and the way they treat staff is abysmal.
Honestly wish someone had told me to save my money and Google the content I was interested in
the new nucleus building is nice on kings. sometimes have felt unwelcome to use university facilities but they have a lot of cool facilities to use. The main library could be bigger but the opening of the new study space at kings has definitely helped
wish they paid their staff more, but still glad to study here
Great university and facilities.
ECA is a landmine, idk how it's so prestigious.
It's good enough but staff are overworked and students are not very well supported. Feels more like it's being run for profit rather than the good of the students or professors.
This is napier not UoE so I am reviewing napier
good university. Free shuttle bus and free bus with Young scot card.
The University is very theoretical, but good.
Its pretty good and has some cool staff
It's ok if you are a native English or Scottish student. Not the same for the Spaniards.
Nice experience overall. Good for mixing with people from other cultures.
good and have to have hard working on my study
A decent campus and facilities are available to all students.
I like studying in there, I enjoy my course and I made a lot of friends in there. I joined the film society and great people and facilities in there.
I really enjoyed the program setting of my degree, which I really engaged with.
It is a good university. It has many spaces to study
Best Uni in Edinburgh. There are lots of clubs and Societies that I can join and loads of fun!
absolutely don’t regret going here. the city is lovely and the people are nice. all of my lecturers have been great and the student support is excellent
Well it’s good Don’t know what to say to write 30 words
I'm having a great time studying at UoE. The facilities are great. I made a lot of friends. Teaching staff is world-class quality. So proud to be a student of UoE.
Super sociable with great staff!! Would recommend :)
Really awful quality of support offered during the Master's degree programme. Even the university-owned accommodation, Richmond Place (NS Room) was a nightmare to reside in during the first few months given that for two whole months (September & October), my room's heater was non-functional altogether. These problems were later acknowledged by the Senior Operations Manager and fixed soon after, however, the resultant delay did indeed ruin my experience there and by November, I shifted to a private student halls of residence located in the vicinity of the King's Buildings campus.
Welcoming and diverse range of activities and societies as well as excellent library facilities.
I go to the college so not sure why I’ve to fill this out but aye it’s a good college
I love my university but I would like to recommend expanding the existing classrooms so as to accommodate more cohort especially like TESOL program students, which will guarantee a better experience and gain us more opportunities to have offline lectures
Great learning experience and enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh.
I am very grateful to be able to live and study here. Love X
Love University of Edinburgh, greate environment, kind teachers and staff
Good university in a good location. Edinburgh is a really really beautiful city. Really like here
Good experience in my courses.
Great staff and team at the university. Really enjoyed my time studying here
This university has good academic environment. The staff and professors here are nice and helpful. All the service they can provide is enough for me.
Perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect
Good place to stay I will recommend this to my friend and students
