A Cinematic Academic Haven: My Time at the University of Glasgow
Tips: Transitioning into UK culture comes with substantial culture shock, mainly when it comes to privacy and reduced sunshine during winter, which makes vitamin D supplements vital. Although I failed to secure any scholarships due to a late application, potential students must plan a year. All in all, embracing independence despite the initial loneliness is an exciting experience.
Likes (Student Life): In light of the wonderful neo-Gothic architecture, such as the building of Hogwarts Castle and the activities surrounding the university, the University of Glasgow features many cultural associations, which include Indian and Tamil associations. Not only do they study, but the students can also go to interesting places such as Byres Road, or they could even immerse themselves in the Scotch and Scottish pub culture. In the end, making an adventure out of it all makes life romantic.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Ultimately, success is dependent on the state of mind of the person involved. People who are committed to establishing a future for themselves in the country will go out of their way to try to stay in the country. It is, however, clear that a lot of luck comes into play, and immigration laws have become much stricter in recent times. In a very uncertain environment, those who manage to get their sponsorship will prove their worth.

Learning, Life and Everything In Between at UofG
Tips: What do students need to know before joining this college? Students need to be prepared to do self-study and manage their time effectively. The workload might be heavy, especially when approaching deadlines, but the university has good support when required. How did you adjust after joining here? Was there a culture change? It was quite an easy adjustment, even though it took some time to adapt to the weather conditions, new food and an overall different lifestyle. Glasgow is a multicultural city, so it was very easy to meet people from other countries. Do you have any scholarship? If yes, how did you get it and what is the stipend? I do not have any scholarship. How satisfied are you with your university, course and country? In general, I am quite satisfied with the University of Glasgow, the Data Science course and staying in the UK.
Likes (Part time work): Why have you rated 5 for Student Life? I have rated it 5 because something is happening outside the classrooms at all times. The campus is active, and there are many ways to make contacts and hang out with your mates. What do you do in the course of your day in college? What do you like most? Most of my time is devoted to attending lessons and working on assignments. In addition to that, I spend my time hanging out with friends, visiting the library, and exploring the campus. I like the social aspect of studying in university most. What kinds of events do they organise at your university? How often do you attend them? There are many different events held during the year, such as social, society, talks, sports and cultural events. I participate whenever I have an opportunity, especially in social and student events. What student clubs and communities are there on your campus? There are many societies and clubs devoted to sports, culture, music, games, technology, academic studies and many other things.
Dislikes (Internships): Why did you rate 5 on Quality of faculty? The faculty are knowledgeable and explain things clearly. They are also supportive and have good subject knowledge. How accessible and approachable is the faculty in your department? They are easy to approach and usually respond to questions. We can contact them through email or speak to them after classes. Share details about the teaching methodology that you find unique in your department. There is a good mix of lectures, practical work and coursework. We get to work with real datasets and apply what we learn instead of only studying theory. How diverse is the teaching faculty in terms of nationality? The faculty is quite diverse, with staff from different countries and backgrounds. This also gives the department a good international feel.

The golden era of UK has vanished - Don't come to University of Glasgow
Tips: The university doesn't provide any help regarding jobs; if you fail any subject, they don't even help you in resits. The University professors are busier with the undergraduates than they are invested in Postgraduate students. Try not to come to University of Glasgow.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport is well connected in the city and the outskirts too. You can go to any place you want, as we travelled to a lot of places and liked them. The scenic views are beautiful around Glasgow; the only thing you will love about the city is its views.
Dislikes (Internships): University of Glasgow doesn't support students in finding jobs and even restrict to apply for Internships. I had an internship, and the University denied me access, saying that in a Master's course you can't do any internship unless it is given by my University.

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.

Offers a wide variety of courses for UG, PG, MRes and Phd.
Tips: Offers a wide variety of courses for UG, PG, MRes and PhD. The college campus is beautiful, and courses are structured according to your convenience (you get to choose your optional classes and timings). The city itself is beautiful. The university also has a lot of clubs you can be a part of. There are a lot of events organised by the student committee. Research your course carefully. Understand the course structure (which will be provided on the university website). There's a lot of help available from faculty and student committees. Don't hesitate to contact them. Contact alumni from your course to know better.
Likes (Internships): My course had a compulsory subject called 'Work Placement'. This course is an excellent addition to the degree and helped us gain field experience related to what we studied. The faculty would provide us with a list of companies/ngos that were in need of student interns, and we did the internship for a course of 4 months.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think if you're planning to do this course, an engineering or architecture background would be more helpful. The course was very well structured, and I have no complaints about it. But the job opportunities for the future would definitely require you to be from a technical background, rather than a non-technical one, which I am from. This is a personal opinion since I am not from an engineering background. For a student with a teaching background who wishes to learn towards sustainability or building public space, this is surely an amazing degree.

Glasgow is about its people
Tips: Glasgow is very friendly and quite open to people of all cultures. The University also offers scholarships for Indian students (like the Merit one and a few others). You can always apply for a lot of funding opportunities during your course as well. I was quite satisfied. I focused on the coursework during the year without any part-time hassle and ended up with a Distinction. I must say that the coursework during the year is highly technical and stressful, especially if you are in STEM. The quality of education and the requirement of independent study and work are vastly different compared to India. You will not be spoon-fed, and you will be expected to have punctuality, effort, and time management all on your own while taking care of personal life as well.
Likes (Internships): The careers portals designed for students and graduates of UoG are pretty helpful, they also run a lot of events, consulting, and all-round help towards applications. A lot of the time, you can graduate and find academic work within the department itself as well, or a role in one of the admin/support teams of the college as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are plenty of on-campus part-time jobs, but there are also other students, and in a one-year M.Sc. course you are competing for some jobs that people here are experienced in. If it's a niche role in your subject, quite possible. I would suggest not doing a lot of part-time work during your studies if you want a really good grade. If you only care about passing your degree, then you can afford 10-15 hours of part-time work per week. You are allowed to work up to 20 hours as a student per week, and you get the NI pay, which is about a bit over u00a312 per hour.

Certainly, Gilmorehill Campus. It is the main West end Campus. This is where the large majority of UG, PG and MBA teaching happens. Garscube and Dumfries serve specific veterinary, life Sciences and specific courses. The infrastructure at Gilmorehill Campus is historic, it represents Gothic Revival.
