International Relations and Spanish & Latin American Studies (5 yrs), MA Hons FullTime
Social science degrees at Aberdeen are negatively affected by their lack of contact teaching hours. Many students that study solely politics receive only 2 hours of mandatory in person teaching time and yet pay the same amount for their degree as other students who are on campus 9-5 daily. This limits the student's ability to connect with the course material and distances them from their professors which can make it harder to seek guidance when needed. cuts to the languages department have been hugely detrimental and disruptive to learning as students lost their lecturers mid term and were given different teachers who had to be brought back up to speed on where exactly the students require guidance and what materials the students had already gone through. it also left the already overworked department with an ever increasing backlog of work to catch up on. that said the department itself is incredibly dedicated to teaching, the professors are doing their best and care a lot. read more

French and International Relations, MA Hons FullTime
French and IR is interesting. I genuinely can’t complain about the Politics and IR staff (you have to do both in 1st and 2nd year), they make the course straightforward and guide you in the right direction. They are, for the most part, fair markers and tutors are happy to help you. French on the other hand is a tricky one. It’s pretty much expected that you take both the language and the culture course. There is a lot of coursework and tests, and they are incredibly harsh markers. It’s nothing like French at school (if you’re from Scotland at least). It’s also a small course so your tutors will likely get to know you and expect a lot from you which can be intimidating but it’s also a more personal learning experience in that sense as there isn’t that anonymity of a large cohort. Job prospects definitely depend on the course but I don’t think that’s any reflection on the university - most people know what they’re getting themselves in for when they choose. read more
