University of Aberdeen

Does Aberdeen represent a proper place to study law?

Hello, I have recently applyed at Aberdeen at Law and I would like to know if it is good regarding the courses and lectures, as I am interested particularly in this academic aspect. In other words, does it represent a proper educational environment?

Well, that does somewhat raise the question; what is a "proper educational environment"? Certainly, the law school is rigorous in its approach to academic matters; essays are more harshly marked than in other schools and the teaching is good, however university is generally considered to be about self-study, which effectively means, in this context, that you will be responsible for and the beneficiary of a "proper educational environment". Additionally, the point seems to suggest that Aberdeen University might not be a "proper educational environment", why does this idea exist in the first place? Aberdeen has been teaching law since the 1400s, they've probably got the gist of it by now...
