- Hi. I'm a resit student just going into third year so I had to wait til today to enrol but I can't even get past the first login page as I can'r remember any of my login details. I tried my PC Cal username and clicked "forgot login", and did the same with my registration number but had no luck. I also tried my person number from my student card but it came up with "Security Question is not setup" which I'm pretty sure I did. Can someone please tell me what I can do, I'm totally at a loss here...
- Can someone tall me if it is possible to switch from one course to another if I`ll be fresher.

WAY better at HW. Get a lot more realistic experience with lots of projects involving all different built environment sectors. Pretty sure we're higher in the leauge tables. Again, Urban AND regional is what you learn. Great lecturers and small class sizes too! Studying in Edinburgh is way more fun than Aberdeen too! The Uni campus is smaller and more friendly!

Hi,
I studied URP too. Good course, with really good staff. The UG has less student numbers (less than 10 in some years) so more tutorial type classes. That said, the PG is still comparatively small, so the teaching standard is still high.
With planning, obviously the UG gives you a more in depth knowledge, but to be honest there is quite a bit of padding. Those that I knew on the PG were quite happy with the content.
There is a fair mix of areas taught from the economics side of Estate Management through to social impact.
Overall, I would highly recommend us, but then again I may be biassed!
Good luck either way and hopefully see you at the Union soon...
