Hugh Baird College

I will never let anyone I know do the same course as I did here. Tutor was emotionally abusive and played favourites. Other students got to arrive late with barely a mention or not shoe up at all. Not to mention they got to do projects related to there interests were as others were heavily chastised for it.

The year above got everything and we got the scraps. I cant even explain the amount of toxicity in this place absolutely crushed any self esteem I had. Lied to your face that your project was good only to tell you after it was submitted it was terrible after previously praising the very same things there now criticising.

The main tutor had no time for people with disabilities. (This has no reflection on other staff members i had two that im not naming that helped me in lessons who were the god sent. I'm pretty sure there the only reason I did well in college.) He far to busy with the previous years students to care about are work. Constantly let them take up are classtime for there projects.

Dont even get me started on how the food vouchers didn't sometimes cover the cost of food. If your lunch was scheduled late good luck getting the few sandwiches that fit in budget. Its was luckly I had a relative in the area I would of gone hungry on many occasions. I dont knkw if this has been improved since my time here.

Most of these complaints carry over from both the college and university. I still suffer from the bad habits I learned here my mental health tanked and to top it off even if I wanted a job in the field I studied for 4years I was barely prepared for it. Most of the job listings in this field list requirements that we were never taught.

Side note they also can't organise anything it was always fun turning up on the first day to find it wasn't actually the first day after not being able to get in touch with tutors. Literlly played round robin to get a start date, only to get a sheepish message of my tutor after I spent money on bus fare ect to get there what the correct day was.

Tldr this place kills your dreams and tanks your mental health. Wouldnt wish this place on my worst enemy.

I did a level 3 NVQ in Business Admin and this course is amazing. The tutors are wonderful and supportive . Just got my first professional job and couldn't have done it without them. If you are looking for a course this one is perfect couldn't recommend it enough. Dinners are nice especially the chips and chicken box and the cleaning staff are lovely and friendly. Dunno if she's still there but Pat the supervisor was an amazing lady loved our little chats. Fab college.

Started my foundation degree course in 2020 for Computer Science and can not speak highly enough of one of my tutors.

Elly Foran will go above and beyond for her students and she is a real gem to the College.

She was always there if you needed help with anything and is an understanding and wonderful woman.

The staff at the University centre were friendly and the food there was gorgeous.

My only downside to my academic experience there is through no fault of the tutors but the real lack and options of Student work placements in 2021.

Had very bad experiences with tutors in this college horrible attitude and no support at all very very disappointed. Won't recommend it to anyone all I remember is bad .

Don’t waste your time with the makeup course if you want a makeup qualification, enroll at a real university - unless of course you enjoy partaking in primary school activities like mixing paint on sheets of paper and drawing shapes all day like we did xx

Teachers don't teach at all and discriminated for having autism and told its my fault by a teacher called Tina and this is revolting avoid this collage at all costs

Can't believe it's come to this. Completed an "Introduction to counselling" level 2 course in July. During the course weren't given college email addresses, Logins, print credits, or even ID cards to get us into the building.

The external Tutor they brought in to deliver the course did a Fantastic Job but that is where positives abruptly end.

In spite of working hard to submit the coursework on time and being assured we would recieve our results in good time we have heard nothing (it's now October) several emails have been ignored.

One email I sent on the 27th September was responded to with a phone call in which I was told somone would be in touch within days. Almost a month later and still nothing.

I missed out on a place on another course due to not having results

I would not trust this provider with your education.

Go somewhere else.

Great college. Lovely tutors-friendly and approachable. Coming to the end of my course now, gonna miss the place. Decent prices in the little cafe, won't bankrupt you. Apparently the coffee is nice or so I've heard-not a coffee fan myself.
