Student review [#2230]
at The University of Edinburgh

On the whole a very good university. It’s big enough to provide decent facilities for students -one example would be the mobile device clinic which provides students with free IT support with things like virus removal and software repairs. The teaching is generally good, but I’ve found the feedback and marking of essays to be a little hit and miss; especially in 1st/2nd year the postgraduates employed as tutors can give marks that need serious adjustment by the course organizers. Some staff can be disorganized and, while friendly, it hard to find time for additional support when needed. Finally timetabling could be improved – exam dates and course timetables are often not released until quite late which makes it difficult to plan ahead.
