Newest Review: ... second year but i say NO! dont do it! Its best to start with other students who are also new to the scene, rather than people who have already 'been there and done that' for a year. The second year is more in depth, and you get to specialise a wee bit although not in a way that will greatly restrict you later on. Again, its not particularily tricky. Third year is when you have to start getting more serious, but hey, this isn't medicine, right? The courses you choose here will narrow down your choice of final year specialisation to a couple of degrees. The fourth year honours is the daddy. This is what its all about, so you... more

I had a post up here recently about how biological science has a gender ratio of about 70:30 gals to guys, but i guess people were more interested in the course itself. How professional you young people are. But here you go: As is the case in almost all Scottish universities, biological science is a four year course, with only the final year being devoted to a specialised honours of your choice. For the first year don't expect to have to work very hard; its just to get the English and Scottish students up to the same standard so you can kick back and enjoy yourself. Students with good A-levels or SYS may be offered direct entry into second year but i say NO! dont ... Read the complete review

Hello all, I graduated from UOE 6 (OH MY GOD I AM OOOLD...) years ago after doing an M.A. Hons in European Union Studies and Danish. As this course was (is?) an inter-departmental course, I got to enjoy courses in varying departments and faculities - all of them around the George Square Campus. My general (and lasting!) impression is that all courses were well taught and the standards high. I have no means of comparison, but I'd say the workload was reasonable. The faculties in which we were taught was the Faculty of Law for European Studies and European Law, the Faculty of Social Sciences for Soc. Scis and Politics (I think) ... Read the complete review

We have two daughters who graduated last year, the elder from Edinburgh University after a 4 year MA course (Class 2.1) and the younger from a 3 year Oxford degree (see other Opinion). Our son is now in his Second Year at Edinburgh University studying Mechanical Engineering with Management Studies. I think that this gives me good insight into the problems of choosing the 'best' course. The subject chosen by our elder daughter to study was Psychology in the Social Sciences faculty, but she changed direction slightly in that she transferred to the joint Honours "Psychology and Business Studies" degree. This was exceptionally easy to do ... Read the complete review
