A good university, but there is less attention from staff members, who put extra stress and pressure on students regarding tuition fees. It seems that only money is important for this university, while mental health is the least prioritized aspect. read more

It's free for me so value for money is obviously good, you can't knock something that's free. Problem is the department is hopelessly underfunded and while they're aware of and worried about a lot of problems they can't do anything to fix them because the university isn't funding them enough. Basically, don't study in this department if you're coming to Aberdeen. There's plenty of other departments with fewer problems. read more
