The University of Edinburgh has a really international feel, with a truly diverse student body. I found the MSc programme stimulating, engaging and challenging. I found the lecturers and administrative staff incredibly helpful and encouraging and they managed to achieve a delicate balance between pushing me to achieve my potential without driving me over the edge! I would love to do it all over again!
