The course is very interesting and there is a lot of flexibility to choose modules both within the courses, but also to try other subjects. The tutors are mostly very engaging and enable interesting discussions. read more

Edinburgh was quite behind in the academic year 2021/2022 as they were very reluctant to teach in person due to governmental rules and regulations. However, most courses are engaging read more

Courses are a mix of good and bad to be honest. A lot of the German course feels a bit pointless. Haven't learnt much and will be switching my degree for next year read more

Have had an excellent year of research, supervised by leading experts in my field in a department with a strong collegiate culture and lots going on outside of lectures. My only reservations would be that as with all Edinburgh Masters it's pricey, but that's not the fault of the department. I'd also point out it's a very specialized area of study, but if you're reading this review you should probably know that by now. read more
