MSc in Software Development - Batch of 2025

3.9

A prestigious university with a vibrant, diverse community and endless opportunities to connect.

Tips: The campus is humongous and the city is very vibrant. I personally felt welcome and it's not like you will feel alone. There are so many societies in the University that you can join and meet people. I applied through a consultancy before coming here, you can do it alone as well but it makes the process easier. I received the India Merit Award which was based on my Undergrad marks. Check the University and the coursework you are applying to thoroughly. Check the job opportunities and be prepared.

Likes (Safety): The city is very safe, you can walk in the area at night, especially Glasgow West End and you won't feel anything. Students always have an app provided by the university that they can use whenever they run into any kind of problem that requires immediate attention. It's like a 24x7 service available over the call, irrespective of you being on campus or not. Luckily, I hadn't had any such experience. Glasgow is a very vibrant city full of diversity and amazing people.

Dislikes (Internships): You will have plenty of opportunities for an internship but the competition is fierce; you need to keep an eye out for internships as there are only a few spots. You might not get an internship if you are in your Master's as most of them are looking for undergrad students and if you are able to find some, it might not be in your relevant field of study. The university does offer a lot of internships for which you can apply. They are both paid and unpaid.

MSc Investment Banking & Finance - Batch of 2026

A great place to learn, connect and succeed.

Tips: Students should know the university is academically strong, cultural diverse and offers many opportunities. Getting involved in campus life early really enhances the experience. The transition was smooth though I did experience some cultural difference overtime I adapted and founded the diversity engaging.

Dislikes (Part time work): Because the professors are highly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in student learning. Faculty are very approachable and easy to reach through office hours and quick discussions after class. They use a practical and interactive teaching style that combines theory with real world applications. The faculty is diversified in nationality and background bringing valuable global perspectives to the learning experience.

Health Services Management PGCert - Batch of 2025

3.9

Enriching academic experience with some practical challenges.

Tips: Joining the University of Glasgow requires adjusting to independent study and a higher cost of living. The cultural shift was mainly academic the diverse and supportive environment has been very helpful. I am very satisfied with my course, university and life here.

Likes (Indian Food): Glasgow offers a variety of Indian restaurants at affordable to mid range prices. The area also boasts diverse Asian Middle Eastern and European cuisine options. While I enjoy trying different places I mostly prefer cooking for myself since I live off campus.

Dislikes (Internships): I was unable to secure an internship. The guidance through career services and online portals is good, opportunities exist but are competitive and not always aligned with Health Services Management making it challenging

International Relations MSc - 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.

Data Science MSc - Batch of 2024

3.7

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.
