Be prepared for mildly rough weather, and start honing your analytical skills.
Tips: Be prepared for an academic and cultural shift, but it will be a really smooth experience. Be sure to apply early, preferably in February, to snag one of their international student scholarships. Each is worth 10,000 British pounds, and they can be a big help. Also, be prepared for mildly rough weather, and start honing your analytical skills now. It will help you ace your exams and assignments and enjoy your time here. I highly recommend the University of Glasgow for any students who are looking to pursue higher education in a welcoming and safe environment.

There is a major housing crisis in Glasgow.
Tips: Public transportation through buses is free when you are under 22 years old, and they provide you apply for the YoungScot card. While the university is great, there is also a major housing crisis in Glasgow and therefore, the cost of living will be high. Provided that your personal statement displays individuality and your grades are good, you should be able to avail a scholarship of 7000 pounds with ease. My only concern is the massively problematic cost of living crisis. But overall, I am content with my experiences.
Likes (Student Life): There's a wide range of student societies at UofG. Makes for excellent avenues for networking and socialising. Moreover, most spaces are safe and inclusive. The nightlife is quite great as well. The student campus is quite diverse and liberal. It's a very inclusive space.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Most practicing psychologists require a master's at the least. However, job prospects beyond this are excellent. But my course has still bestowed me with excellent research skills, which are highly sought after by employers.

Don't romanticize the struggles but prepare for a stressful but rewarding experience.
Tips: The university is very liberal, so sometimes viewing things from another perspective can be seen in a negative way. There was a sentence from my tutor, at the very first meeting of the year, that summarises the entire course: 'You get what you put into it'. If you work hard and put your effort into getting as much as possible out of the course, it will be a great experience. The subways and buses get you anywhere. All public transportation is easy to use and get familiar with. There is also the option to get a complete transportation pass, which you can travel on most public transportation with for free, if you're under 25.
Dislikes (Internships): There is not much guidance regarding internships. They are only mentioned occasionally, and the career service does not do a great job. It's not a target school for all subjects, so that might depend on your course. The study trip to Brussels is a good opportunity to network, but it might not be relevant for non-European students.

The University provides a lot of support. Apply at least 6-8 months before to get a scholarship.
Tips: The exposure you get helps you a lot in becoming the best version of yourself. The University provides a lot of support in all aspects. Apply at least 6-8 months before to get a good scholarship. Connect to people on LinkedIn who have got scholarship. Start applying for Graduate roles as soon as you start your studies. The connectivity of ScotRail and the Subways is the best. There is a subway station right next to the University, approximately a 5-7 minute walk. Monthly passes are the cheapest and the best option. There are buses as well, especially passes like Young Scot for students under 22 years and young people, which gives them free bus travel across Scotland.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies are offering sponsored jobs around 10,000 plus. But it has become more difficult to get a sponsored job after 2024, due to changes in the rules and the new salary limit. If you are interested in these types of jobs, you will need to be very proactive with your job search. You should also take the time to prepare a solid resume, as it can make the job hunt much easier.

Education along with personality development.
Tips: Glasgow is very diverse and inclusive, and so friendly that I felt at home quickly. The University was also very helpful in my transition. I was looking for scholarships and unfortunately missed the deadline to apply for one. However, there are many people who got scholarships earlier. I'm still very satisfied with the university, and it's given me a lot of good opportunities to build skills and meet people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is in the heart of the city. There are subways nearby, a train station is 20 minutes away, and there are bus stops in multiple locations. There are student discounts available and, most importantly, there are student pass facilities. The transportation is very convenient and decently affordable.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is too much if there is no scholarship provided. The expenses on student accommodation, yearly living expenses, and extra-curricular activities all come to a lot of investment when it comes to the return of job opportunities. It would take a lot of years for us to recover in terms of money.
