Edinburgh is a great university for most degrees and depending on what courses you choose your life can be easier or harder – it all depends on you. The student body is a great mixture of nationalities and you make friends for life, living in the city is great and there’s something for everyone – nature or party lovers. One thing you should know before coming here is how there is a LOT of opportunities career and personal-growth wise (at least in Informatics), however you will have to be the person who looks for those opportunities. Nothing is handed on a plate and if you do want something, it is your job to find ways of how to get it.

I’ve rated the professors on a lower scale, but it includes the school itself as well as there were a lot of problems regarding timely and thorough feedback, mostly because some courses accepted too many students than the current staff could handle and I really hope the uni stops doing that in the future. It doesn’t benefit either of the parties. Some professors also were not really engaging since quite a few of them are forced to do the courses as part of their daily research job, which is the main driving force in Informatics for UoE – Research. However, there were some professors that actually made me love the courses I was doing, so again – really depends. Don’t be afraid to ask other students what they thought of certain courses before taking them!

Overall, positive experience and I wish I could come back again one day in the future.

After graduating from Edinburgh, I have struggled to find people from other universities, who were given an education as deep as the one I received. I am completely satisfied with the quality of teaching, as well as the content of the lectures.

Great place to meet all kinds of people, do all sorts of activities and dive into your studies. The city offers you all the cultural events you need, and it’s not too big. There are some very weak lecturers in Informatics, but also some absolutely outstanding ones (shout-out to the legendary KK and Boris Grot!).__Infrastructure is constantly renovated and tutorials can be quite fun.__If I had to complain about anything it would be the late and vague feedback…
