University of Edinburgh in general

The University of Edinburgh's reputation goes before it. It is continually ranked in the top ten universities in the UK and is part of the elite Russell Group of universities - a marker that the university is renowned for its research and contribution to academia. Along with St Andrew's and Glasgow, Edinburgh University is one of Scotland's "Big Three" and a degree from this university is recognised as being world-class throughout the world. Situated in the centre of Edinburgh, the main university buildings are found in and around George Square. This is next to the meadows part of the city and means that it is very green and relaxing.

Really, the university league tables speak for themselves - year after year, Edinburgh scores highly on them, both in the UK, and the world (last I checked, Edinburgh was about 23rd in the world, and 6th in the UK - only after Oxbridge, and elite London universities? Forgive me if I'm wrong.) Despite a low student satisfaction score recently, due to a lack of decent feedback on work, the university still remains one of the top universities, not only in the UK, but in the world. And now away from the facts, and speaking as a current student there myself - Obviously, there are some flaws with the university and its services, as there will be with any ...  Read the complete review

This is an awful, awful, awful insitution which is chock full of persons who are in complete and utter dreams. They have never been aware, it seems, what it might be to do some adult study, even just a little bit of post 18 study. Apparently the city in its physical figurement and its stylish cafes, bars, resaurants and maybe theatres caters for this though I can't see how it might cater properly for the actual categorical truth.

Hmm, this is all I ...  Read the complete review

Edinburgh University is currently ranked top in Scotland league tables, with over 20,000 students this is no easy task. The university is not only appealing on its diverse range of subject options open to student, but the location is arguably one of the best in the UK. A typical year in Edinburgh will see the world famous Fringe festival, the world famous Hogmanay, a diverse range of bands playing in both small and large venues such as the corn exchange, or my personal favourite Whistle Binkies - where they have live music most nights and open mic nights on Monday and Tuesdays ? they also serve a mean pint of Guinness, a rarity in Scotland.

Three weeks in Ediburgh and already I love the place. And here's why.... I enrolled in my teacher training course (PGCE) at Edinburgh University's Moray House School of Education and so far, I have loved everything about the uni, the city and my course. I had always cosidered Edinburgh to complete my degree, however, I my parents live just 45minutes away and I wanted to step out by myself properly so I headed to Durham for three years...but always with the intention to move back to Scotland as soon as I had finished. So having graduated and decided on my future career path, I really didn't think twice about applying to Edinburgh. So what ...  Read the complete review
