Advantages: High standards, fair workload

Disadvantages: none

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) and the Faculty of Arts for the languages.

What I liked about the courses were the tutorials, this is something students in Germany rarely get to experience, as well as the friendliness of the staff and of course of my fellow students.

The Scandinavian Deparment on Buccleuch Place (is it still there?) was the best department to be in, we were on first name terms with the teachers and if anyone speaks to any of them, say hello from Melanie for me ... (getting severely homesick here).

Back to the courses - it's hard to give an unbiased opinion and, as I said, I have not had any opportunity to compare them to any other course. In my opinion, though, all courses we were "put through" in those for years, were worth every lecture of them.

So - hope to have helped, if not, let me know ... and can anyone tell me if they have torn down DHT yet??? ;-)
