I attended this university for 3 years studying my undergrad in Interactive Design and postgrad Interactive art.

The university encouraged extra curricular work and projects outside of courses, expanding my portfolio and experiences during my undergrad years. The support was vast as there were a lot of staff and one to one meetings.

During my postgrad though there was a lack of staff therefore the one to one was less consistent.

The university itself looks a bit outdated in some parts but the Merchiston building has a lovely castle dating back to the 15th century in the centre of the campus.

The universities reputation is well known internationally for computer sciences and serves well when dealing employment. I met many great friends and lecturers I’ll keep in touch with for life and would recommend to anyone who is beginning their educational journey.
