Tips: I faced a cultural shift starting from the accent even if my IELTS score was quite well, it was so difficult for others to understand my accent and so was it for me but gradually I learned and adapted. The scottish culture is good. I like everything about it from people to their bagpipes I love it here! There is an international student scholarship given to students but it isn't much. Teachers are good and they teach in a research oriented way. Placements is okay-okay but when post study visa is there it does help to secure a job. The infrastructure is very good as I said I like being here this is one reason architecture is very old and sometimes this place or Edinburgh seems like you are straight out of Harry Potter book!

University of Glasgow- A Place Beyond Excellence

Tips: Students should be prepared to actively participate in extra curricular activities and events, and not restrict themselves to people from their country. Moreover, given that the University of Glasgow is more academically oriented, they should be prepared to spend a lot of time reading and studying.

Likes (Internships): The university has a job board through which students can apply for part-time jobs and internships. Although they should also check LinkedIn regularly for any new openings. Often, professors and university staff post vacancies on LinkedIn as well as emails, so keep a tab on your emails as well.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Although the UK has started providing a two-year post work visa, commonly known as PSW, students need to be proactive and network aggressively finding jobs related to their field of study. The university will not help with placements, though it has several career-related resources that can assist students in landing jobs.

Nice view and good for study, but accommodation availability is bad

Tips: Prepare for job applications as quickly as possible. Set a budget each month, and try to find some possible scholarship programs. Choose the course you like, and achieve the deadline as earlier as possible. Arrange your time and do wait until the deadline.

Great University, Mediaeval Castle like hostel , Large campus, Placement offers, Good Teachers

Tips: Students coming here should speak with a Scottish accent, don't overspend money and be top in academics. Jobs are scarce unless you are brilliant. Castles are overrated. Teachers are helpful, tourism is beautiful. Scottish people are great. There is pathetic management in dorms and facilities are good.
