The University of Edinburgh
speciality: Law

The University of Edinburgh unites people from diverse countries and cultures from around the world to create a future leaders. Our backgrounds created a unique opportunity for us to build upon each others thoughts and utilize creative problem solving while the professors encouraged us to think outside the box from previous life experiences.
The only downside I had was in the expense of the university while studying from the US. The international fees were a lot considering I was only formally meeting in my classes once a week. Aside from that, no complaints at all.

The degree is heavily focused on self-study and your own research which can be both a positive and negative. This means you get a lot of time to delve into issues that you are interest in but also that the input from the lecturer’s and tutors is minimal and they have to cover a lot of subjects without getting into much detail.

If I were to describe my experience at the University of Edinburgh, I would say it’s incredible!

Lovely environment, excellent resources, friendly students and encouraging instructors. Strong Students’ Union as well.

If you don’t like being busy, if you are lazy, then the University of Edinburgh maybe isn’t for you. You have to read a lot…huh that’s what makes it ” awesome University”.

The University of Edinburgh Law School is a fantastic place with endless opportunities to pursue a legal career. There are excellent facilities and the university provides valuable support and advice to help you start your career.

I liked the lecturer in the private law school. My dissertation supervisor Professor Andrew Steven has been especially supportive during my studies. However, considering the high cost charged by the University, I felt that certain lectures in other schools were patchy. I also did not like the administration at the University as I often experienced, mistimetabled classes, dubble booked rooms and the wrong grades appearing on the system. I was also not happy at the availability of the support services or sports facilities. It was almost impossible to get a carrers appointment as the slots were always booked up and could not be booked for the following week. I also was unable to access the University swimming pool for the same reason and cancelled my gym membership for this reason. I was however happy with the accommodation I have and it is the nicest student room I’ve had do far.

Overall a well-rounded university. Certain areas could be developed, like publicizing events more and just overall welfare. The university does its part in many other ways but information reaching the students is limited in many scenarios.

Both the university and student life/Edinburgh were really great. Really helpful and ambitious people, loads to learn in and outside of class. I would highly recommend doing a master’s degree at the University of Edinburgh.

My time in Edinburgh was wonderful. The classes were very interesting and brought by professors who are doing high-level research in their fields. Moreover I met some amazing people. Lots of them I can still call my closes friends today.
