Student Reviews

SRUC Edinburgh
Provided by ESN rated 1 out of 5 stars

Although a small university, the campus is located inside the University of Edinburgh campus making it much bigger. It is also located not far from the town centre so it is perfectly located. The course is small enough to meet and have one-to-one time with lecturers which is great to build a relationship with them which can lead to help in finding graduate jobs after....

It has been great
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent experience of online learning with on campus experiences. Knowledgeable teaching staff and a good community feel
