University Of Edinburgh
Anon, December 2007Overall score
Study experience
The research course at Edinburgh offers excellent support both human and bibliographical.
Facilities
Although some of the buildings are old the facilities are great. Even if you do not obtain the resources immediately they will provide what you need soon enough
Postgraduate life
Sometimes the undergraduate students do not consider the necessities of others such as silence in particular reserved places. Nonetheless the atmosphere is really fantastic.
