Anoushka Akhouri Review at University Of Edinburgh [ED], Edinburgh | Collegedunia

Away in Edinburgh

AA
5.2 /10

This college is a great place to be for a year. It gives you the peaceful college experience. The city shuts down early but is very easy to get used to. the college has a grandeur about it which makes the experience more exciting. Meeting people from so many different cultures is always a great learning as well.

Course Curriculum :

The course syllabus for my degree is well designed and includes the topics required for me to excel in my field. They could have had more practical experience incorporated in the course. there was a lot of contextual knowledge but not practice.

Exams :

IELTS Listening- 8.5 Reading- 7.0 Writing- 7.5 Speaking- 8.0 OVERALL- 8.0 60% in undergraduate degree SOP- 500 words (Educational background, experience, reason for choosing the course and the college and what I aim to achieve from this degree) LoR- 2 academic LoRs (Relation to the student, positive qualities suited for this course, potential) CV- one page concise CV including profile description, professional experiences, educational background, research, skills.

Placement :

Not very great. Psychology students don't have many placement options. they are usually required to study further to get more qualification to practice in the UK.

Internship :

I worked with Supporting Positive Paths which was a group that worked with adults with Down syndrome. I got 11 pounds an hour. Also worked at a catering company called Off To Work and got 11.9 pounds an hour.

Faculty :

The staff is well versed in their topics but not very interactive with student after hours.

Campus Life :

Campus life is exciting as there are many clubs for different events and cultures. the college tries tube as inclusive as possible and has a space for every student. Infrastructure is quite magical and gives a very olden vibe. Accommodations are fantastic, Library is well equipped and available to student 24x7. a lot of open spaced for students to sit study relax.

Hostel :

Accommodations are very good. small rooms but well designed and good for one person stay. some have bathrooms included. safety is provided. common rooms are a hub for student to meet and interact. huge and well equipped communal kitchens. Rent around 5lacs to 8lacs per annum.
