An Ancient, Wonderful University; The University of Glasgow

Tips: You should be completely certain about what you want to do before applying to this university. If you are looking for a job in the UK, I would advise you to study a vocational degree. Do not study Computer Engineering/Science. Due to recent trends and the development of GenAI/Agentic AI, the need for junior developers has decreased. For people who have studied Computer Science, I would advise you to study Data Science/Analysis/Cloud Computing. AI companies are constantly in need of Data Scientists, and there certainly is a great demand for it. If you have a good grip on programming languages, a few years of work experience from India, and perhaps a few courses on AI from Coursera or IBM, you would look highly employable. For those who have done a B.BA/B. Comm, I would recommend getting into specialized degrees. If you choose to do an MBA, that's great, but degrees that are a bit more specific, like Human Resource Management, International Business Relations, Finance, Supply Chain Management, etc. Would be great too. But make sure that you have work experience before coming to the UK because there are lots of people with MBAs, so there is more supply than demand. As for people from my own field, the Humanities, I would encourage you not to study degrees that look nice on paper. I know it feels good to study the subject you are good at, and believe me, I did it too, but there is not a large amount of opportunity for work in fields like these. For you, I would recommend studying Journalism, Marketing, and Media because these are vocational degrees which will increase your chances of getting a job. If you studied a degree like English Literature in your undergraduate studies, it will be easy for you to get a job as a content writer, Editor, marketing specialist, or Copywriter in India. You can use the work experience you obtained there along with a degree that directly supplements the skills. The most employable of these fields would be in marketing, so keep that in min

Likes (Public transportation): I rated it 5/5 because, like most cities in the UK, transportation is quite good in Glasgow. There is a brilliant subway system (the Clockwork Orange) connect most of Central Glasgow to the University, and there are plenty of bus routes available as well. If you happen to be under 22 at the time you are coming to Scotland (not the UK, just Scotland), you can apply for a Young Scot Card, allowing you to travel on the bus for free until you turn 22. There is also ScotRail (the national railway), which has local stops all over the city, and the beautiful thing is, it connects other Scottish cities and British cities too!

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated it 2/5 because of how difficult it has currently become for international students to stay in the UK and work there. Essentially, it has become difficult to obtain a Skilled Worker visa and, consequently, the Indefinite Leave to Remain status. After finishing your degree, the UK does provide you with the option to apply for a Graduate Visa (Post Study Work visa), but that is the easiest of the Next hurdles you will have to face in order to get a proper job. Before anything, you must understand that a Graduate Visa is an investment of at least u00a33,000 (Rs. 3,87,666), not including rent, food, transport, etc. This visa provides a graduate some time to look for a job that sponsors you to stay. This is ESPECIALLY difficult for a candidate with no work experience. The company that provides a Skilled Worker visa to a graduate has to pay a sum of money every year to the government, and this is difficult for them to justify in the case of a person with no work experience. My advice to you is that you should pursue your undergraduate degree in India, get a job, and work there for 2-3 years before planning an educational trip to the UK. This will also give you some time to think about which line of work you actually want to do before making such a heavy investment in your education (it is about u00a335,000 for a year in a Master's degree). If you come to the UK with 1 undergraduate degree and 2-3 years of work experience under your belt, it will make you a far more attractive candidate for employers and heighten your chances of landing a sponsored job.

MSc in International Relations - Batch of 2025

4.2

excellent academics, with a huge international network

Tips: For someone from South Asia, it can be a massive cultural shock. Also, the Glaswegian accent is difficult to understand in your early days. I received the Chevening Scholarship, and I applied for it through their online portal. Overall, I would say it was a wholesome experience. The course, the university, and the city of Glasgow gave me the best memories.

Likes (Student Life): Apart from attending the usual classes, there are many seminars/workshops that you can attend to boost your network. Also, the library is awesome, students spend a lot of time there, especially during their research. There are different academic clubs, sports/adventure clubs, arts clubs, international communities, students support communities.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): As I returned to my country, I didn't really look for any options for permanent settlement there. However, there are a few friends who have had some decent opportunities to settle there. I personally would not permanently immigrate to this country, but would love to visit it often.

Good university experience with supportive environment.

Tips: Adjusting here takes some time due to the cultural shift and independent study style, but it's manageable. Scholarships are available if you apply early, and overall, I'm happy with my course and university experience. There's a lot of walking on campus.

Likes (Indian Food): There are several restaurants offering food from my home country, and Indian cuisine is very popular and readily available in Glasgow. Many Indian restaurants are located near campus, and they provide good quality food.

Dislikes (Part time work): There is very little guidance or support for internships. Most opportunities are not aligned with my field of study, leaving students to manage everything on their own. It's very difficult to get a good part-time job for students here.

MSc in International Relations - Batch of 2024

3.6

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.
