Current Edinburgh Students Chat Thread

I bet your mum hasn't thrown hers out. I bought three.

I don't believe she bought one

I've already been to the library to take out books to prepare for next year.

Hello everyone, I'm applying for next year's PhD at Univ of Edinburgh (New Testament). I am from the U.S. and will have 2 kids with me (10, 13). Is there that moved to Scotland who would be willing to chat with my wife about schools for the kids, life in Scotland, etc?

Thanks,
Jim

I guess you're applying to Divinity? You may want to get in touch with them and ask if they can hook you up with someone who has similar circumstances - I know there are a lot of people from the States doing research in Divinity. The only person I know of who made the move from the States to Edinburgh for a PhD with kids chose to homeschool them, but they've also decided to pack up and go home...

Hi everyone!

I was hoping to get some advice from current Psychology (BSc or MA) students at Edinburgh!

I'm currently a fresher, studying at Oxford Brookes and absolutely hate it. For a lot of personal reasons, I'm looking to change. At the moment, my options are Edinburgh and Sheffield. Sheffield have offered me a conditional transfer into second year if I get a 2:1 but Edinburgh said that they will have to consider whether to let me into year 2, based on how similar my current course is.
Does anyone know if I may be disadvantaged by starting in year 2 at Edinburgh, if they decided to accept me?

I'm classed as an international student (despite being British) as I grew up overseas, so it's a major decision for me to decide to go to Edinburgh as it's significantly more expensive.

I've visited the city before and absolutely loved it. What I'm more concerned about is how good the Psychology undergrad course actually is! According to university rankings, Sheffield scores higher than Edinburgh in a lot of ways, including feedback and support that they offer. I know better than to place all of my trust in the rankings, so I was wondering if this is actually true?

What are the pros and cons of Psychology in Edinburgh?

Thank you for your help!

Thinking of dropping out of my current uni to reapply quickly for entry next year, for English and French. Any thoughts on this? Any inside info on either subject? Would love any help at all, trying to make a big decision here. Thank you!
