The University of Edinburgh
speciality: Sustainability

Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at The University of Edinburgh. The campus is stunning, and has lots of facilities (gym, library, cafes) and study areas. Also, since it is in the centre of the city it makes it very convenient and means that I can walk to campus (10 minutes!) from my accommodation. My main course is Sustainable development, however due to the flexibility of this curriculum I was also able to take electives in both Politics and Geography, two subjects which I had considered studying at university. This means that I am able to approach my courses with multiple different perspectives, really contributing to my learning.
The one downside which I have experienced this year is that many classes have been cancelled due to strikes, which despite being a cause I fully support as an individual, it has definitely been detrimental to my overall education and knowledge.
