The University of Edinburgh Speciality : Management
programme: Sports Management

Overall the programme is engaging turning your attention and enlightening you to various aspects of the sporting world. No week is the same allowing us to examine both historic affairs while also making continuous references to current events applying various management techniques and critically examining decisions and the subsequent results. A good mix of tutors is on hand in terms of age, background and personality, which for me personally I have found helpful in maintaining a continuous engagement.

Student life and the opportunity to engage and gain new experiences for the most part has lived up to expectations with the opportunity to join sports clubs and societies being widely available. However, as my current accommodation is situated around 40 minutes from central campus at times it can feel quite isolating with the prospect of having to walk that distance not always being the most appealing especially in the rain which is a regular occurrence. With that being said having to walk this distance isn’t always bad as I’m able to rack up my step count for the day meaning that I don’t need to do cardio at the gym which is always a plus.

pros: good student support system, rich and various student activities, well-equipped library and gym, beautiful campus.
cons: courses are too academic, not practical enough, some lecturers are not dedicated enough.
