The thing about Economics is that it itself is not an easy subject. The professors are ok in teaching the contents but the content itself is very hard. I personally think that Economics in University of Edinburgh is harder than other schools. However, the ranking of Economics in University of Edinburgh is not that high. Overall, it is a fun subject to study but it is challenging. read more

I was very disappointed with both the lecturers and the content of the course! I was expecting much more. Moreover, the way the course and exams are organised is really bad and unhelpful! I regretted accepting this offer while I had like 14 others! The only good part was the city! read more

Make sure you get the correct tutor for the tutorials. You'll have some Spanish/Slovenian bloke teach you hard things so it's nice to have a tutorial where the tutor speaks proper English. read more

Have been failing at finding a job as we are in between STEM and not, the teachers are nice but some of them expect too much understanding. As a person who has never studied these subjects before uni, it was quite difficult to keep up. read more
