Have been failing at finding a job as we are in between STEM and not, the teachers are nice but some of them expect too much understanding. As a person who has never studied these subjects before uni, it was quite difficult to keep up. read more

The thing about Economics is that it itself is not an easy subject. The professors are ok in teaching the contents but the content itself is very hard. I personally think that Economics in University of Edinburgh is harder than other schools. However, the ranking of Economics in University of Edinburgh is not that high. Overall, it is a fun subject to study but it is challenging. read more

I was very disappointed with both the lecturers and the content of the course! I was expecting much more. Moreover, the way the course and exams are organised is really bad and unhelpful! I regretted accepting this offer while I had like 14 others! The only good part was the city! read more

Make sure you get the correct tutor for the tutorials. You'll have some Spanish/Slovenian bloke teach you hard things so it's nice to have a tutorial where the tutor speaks proper English. read more
