Your Time at the University
I fondly remember my time as a student at UoE as a period of immense creativity and opportunity. This was not just with respect to the quality of teaching, research and access to state of the art instrumentation but also through discussions with researchers, both new and experienced, who gave interesting insight into what a career at a university might entail. In addition to the many life-long friends I made in the school of Chemistry, I made an effort to connect with fellow students from outside chemistry, who were a mix of local and international students which also gave a fresh feel to the experience
Studying at UoE is inexorably linked to the vibrant lifestyles of Edinburgh. While the festival is an obvious highlight of any time spent in Edinburgh, the breath-taking beauty of the city and multiple cultural and public spaces to enjoy made the entire experience particularly special.
