I applied to various colleges before I got into University of Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh- admitted University of Sheffield- admitted Vanderbilt Peabody College- admitted University of Sussex- admitted Birkbeck, University of London- admitted City, University of London- admitted Owing to the research environment, facilities, ranking and the city itself, I chose the University of Edinburgh. I applied for the 2023 intake and that was based on me having worked for 2 years after my UG and considering it as a good time to go for my master's. The admission process took about 4-5 months from me applying somewhere in Sept-October 2022 and getting accepted in January 2024. Overall, I'm satisfied with the experience and the exposure I'm getting. The discussions and learning in such an environment are nourishing but a lot of it has to be self-driven to make the most out of it because otherwise the offerings can feel limiting at times.
- Likes:
- I like how supportive the university is and the social life. Also, the faculty is great.
- Dislikes:
- The exam schedule could be improved a bit as it can get very hectic.
I chose Edinburgh because I have been here before and l love the city. Plus, the university has great resources and a fascinating history. The faculty is renowned and the research put is also great.
- Likes:
- The extracurricular options are plenty which is great.
- Dislikes:
- The university can cancel optional subjects at any time without giving a reason which is disappointing.
I chose the university for its ranking but when I applied the ranking was 16 in the world now it is 27 in the world according to QS. I now realize that ranking plays a very small part in the facilities provided, as all universities here offer the same facilities. My experience has been average as according to me the university didn’t provide adequate academic support that students needed in terms of subjects that were new and challenging for most of my class. As a class representative, I took a lot of the concerns to them and the university didn’t do anything about the problems we faced as international students.

- "One thing that I like about my university is the fact that there is a support system for anything and everything that I could possibly need and everyone has been pretty good in the way they have guided me throughout the session. Even the professors were pretty helpful and understanding. "
- Dislikes:
- "However, one main flaw that I have noticed was the fact that in the UK MSc courses are only for a year. I felt that I have had a very compact schedule, which in its way has its pros and cons. "
I chose this university because of it's location, job market and job security. Additionally the QR ranking, provisions in terms of qualifications of staff and amenities within the university contributed towards the selection of my university. University life has been pretty good in terms of the different things that I have learnt and my new found independence. Additionally, the academics will be this in terms of the material that was provided, skills that I have obtained through my coursework and assignments. All of which honed me with skills that are very much needed in today’s industry. Additionally, Masters abroad has given me the opportunity to interact with different people. All of us belong to different cultures and I have had many meaningful experiences.
- Likes:
- I chose because the program here is excellent and the faculty. Everybody is associated with CERN in the experimental physics department and the program here allows one to choose from a wide range of subjects.,
- The exposure, the living abroad experience. The faculty that we get to meet. The course options. I love the city. The fact that so many famous physicists and mathematicians have been to this university and are still here. Dr. Peter Higgs is from this University. The faculty is fabulous.
- Dislikes:
- The curriculum pressure. It's too much to take this course should be a 2 year course. The support in terms of research opportunities and finding jobs. The availability of faculty, which is not much.
It is going good. Though due to so much pressure, mental health of alot of students is affected and most people take special circumstances and extensions to meet deadlines or improve their performance. It's a challenge to pass courses atleast in my degree program. Most of the people are struggling to just pass. And alot of have applied for special circumstances. It's definitely extremely hard.

- Dislikes:
- The university can improve the number of student accommodation in the city as every year there is a housing crisis. The university can try to invite more companies for job fair as it provides networking opportunities. The university can try to reduce the workload for Masters student as it becomes quite challenging to manage so many things in such short period of time
The overall experience was good as I got the opportunity to study at one of the best universities in the world. At the same time, I also got the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world, learn from them, and developed a life long friendship

- I appreciate the diverse and inclusive culture at the University of Edinburgh, which allows me to interact with people from various backgrounds and cultures. This enriches my learning experience by offering different perspectives and insights, fostering a global outlook that prepares me for the interconnected world beyond academia.

- Likes:
- Because for my course, it is one of the top ranked universities.,
- I like how I have become more independent after my college. The challenges have made me more strong and stable. The uncertainty and the confidence to handle it has shaped my personality
- Dislikes:
- I think the campus life could be better in terms of inter school and course events so that we can make more connections and friends. The student accommodations can be closer to campus as well
My overall experience is great. It’s a good learning phase in terms of personal growth. Living abroad alone is challenging but exciting.
- Likes:
- This university was the best for my course after Oxford and Cambridge.,
- The abundance of resources that they provided us during our course of time in the university. Also, with those resources we were provided instructions on how to use them. With that, we were given enough time to prepare for our assignments.
- Dislikes:
- The time duration given for each text is a little less. I do not think that a two-hour discussion can justify or satisfy the questions of the students even when we are provided extra material to read with it. Also sometime, they would ask us to read two texts for one session which we weren't able to cover at all.
I enjoyed it as much as I could, not just in the area of academics but also opposed me generally living my life in Edinburgh.
- Likes:
- University of Edinburgh is set in an extremely scenic city. the accommodations provided by the university are exceptional and have great facilities makes makes student life much easier. The infrastructure is grand. The curation of courses within each field allow for a lot of deep and specific knowledge to be imparted. There are many student forums that motivate students to participate.,
- Rank of University Had the specific course I wanted Within my budget Good alumni list
- Dislikes:
- The initial instructions regarding fee payment, course query and placements were extremely unreliable. There was no specific office where these questions could be asked. The teachers practice a very 'to each your own' approach to studies and there is a lot of self accountability that comes in on a new student.
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.
