Review: Doctoral research at University of Edinburgh

I applied to various colleges before I got into University of Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh- admitted University of Sheffield- admitted Vanderbilt Peabody College- admitted University of Sussex- admitted Birkbeck, University of London- admitted City, University of London- admitted Owing to the research environment, facilities, ranking and the city itself, I chose the University of Edinburgh . I applied for the 2023 intake and that was based on me having worked for 2 years after my UG and considering it as a good time to go for my master's. The admission process took about 4-5 months from me applying somewhere in Sept-October 2022 and getting accepted in January 2024. Overall, I'm satisfied with the experience and the exposure I'm getting. The discussions and learning in such an environment are nourishing but a lot of it has to be self-driven to make the most out of it because otherwise the offerings can feel limiting at times....Read More
