“Geography at Edinburgh”

United Kingdom, Graduate
Geography, 2019
Overall
The Geography course at Edinburgh is extremely broad, enabling you to specialise in either human or physical geography, or both! The teaching is very good, with interesting professors. As a place to live Edinburgh is great, and the halls in first year are a fun place to be.

Course recommendations
Courses pretty much covered the same topics as at home, but the variety of courses seemed much more limited than at my home university, so I had problems finding courses that I would get credit for at home.

Personal comments
Speaking english did not pose a problem for me. However, spending a year in an english-speaking environment is still a great opportunity to get even better. The Scottish dialect is difficult to understand but all teachers at uni as well as most students speak Oxford english.
