History and International Relations, MA Hons FullTime
I am really enjoying my degree programme. Certainly in later years of my course the teaching continues to improve. My personal tutor is fantastic and has been very supportive throughout my degree. Job prospects are broad which can be both a pro and a con. The degree can be applied to a vast range of careers but very few of them are directly applicable to what we learn during our time at university. However, for the most part, I can say my course is very enjoyable and well taught read more

You'll be bored out of your mind. The University has pretty much given-up on teaching. You'll have 6-8 hours of classes a WEEK and will, basically, have to teach yourself the whole course (especially if you study humanities or social sciences). However, the exams are so utterly basic that you would have to be an utter idiot to fail. Since uni is so easy and everyone pretty much graduates with a First or a 2.1, you'll be left with tons of free time to get drunk and to go out on a regular basis. It's only a pity that Aberdeen's nightlife is quite trashy and decadent. You'll get bored of it very quickly as well. read more
