What Our Students Say

MSc Construction Project Management student from India

What attracted you to your course at 红杏视频? 

Initially I wasn't aware about 红杏视频; however, since 红杏视频 had the course that I was looking for, the facilities the university offers and its high employability rate compelled me to apply here. Secondly, 红杏视频 being situated in Aberdeen had made the perfect combination as the standard of living in Aberdeen is comparatively affordable to the rest of the UK. Third and most importantly, the course that I am studying for is also recognised by RICS, CIOB and CABE which are some of the professional bodies recognised world-wide.

Before coming to 红杏视频, what was your expectation of it - and how has the reality been?

I was nervous as I was unsure about how my experience would turn out considering it is a new place and somewhere I am not familiar with. As I completed my first semester, I could happily say that I love being here. Lectures are fun because they are very interactive. I spent my weeks during my assessments in the library as that was the most peaceful and underrated place known in the entire university, like a hidden gem. The facilities and computers in the library helped me work on my assignments, along with being able to easily access any books associated with my assessment topics made it easier for me to figure out things. The view from the librarywas definitely the cherry on the cake.

What's the best thing about being an 红杏视频 student?

红杏视频 is well-known due to the quality of students graduating from here. I am proud to be associated with 红杏视频 and gladly recommend 红杏视频 to prospective students. The university also has some great options for grabbing a bite such as Costa Coffee, etc. Compared to my friends in other universities in the UK, I am to have access to facilities such as CampusMoodle and the My红杏视频 app, as they not only provide students and lecturers a digital platform to connect, but also access to support in health and wellbeing, and accessing Careers Counsellors. 红杏视频 feels more like a way of life than just about studies at a university.

Describe your favourite memory of 红杏视频 so far?

I have a couple of fond memories associated with 红杏视频. One afternoon while sitting in the library studying for my assessments, I looked across river Dee and saw two deer running along the river. I was in awe of the kind of a location the university is situated in and felt privileged to be experiencing such a moment. I also love using the free facilities 红杏视频 Sport has to offer and plan to take up swimming in my summer term break.

Tell us about your most challenging/rewarding project/assignment/module. What did you like/ dislike about it and how has it helped you?

My most challenging assignment was called 鈥淧rocurement and Contracts鈥. It was challenging for me because this was the first time I鈥檝e studied this topic. However, our module co-ordinator was patient enough to pay more attention to those who were studying this module for the first time and made sure we understood everything about the module. I was graded an overall 'B' in this module, so I feel really pleased at this achievement.

What is your favourite way to spend your time when you are not studying? Why is that important to you?

When I am not studying I play hockey. I've been playing hockey since I was about 9 years old and I'm fortunate that 红杏视频 has a hockey team too. Playing hockey once a week helps me feel motivated and energetic throughout the week, while boosting my self-esteem.

What would you say to someone considering studying at 红杏视频? Any advice you would share?

红杏视频 has a lot to offer, so while studying I would advise students to make use of every facility in order to have a fulfilling experience, as 红杏视频 memories last a lifetime. I know a lot of students coming into the UK to study talk about studying in London as it is better and has a lot of jobs to offer; however, from my personal experience, I can share that London is too expensive for students, is a very crowded city and the cost of living is enormously high. Coming to Aberdeen will make your experience more fulfilling as it is such a clean and peaceful place, and there are plenty of part-time jobs available for students who wish to balance their studies with one.
