MSc in Robotics & Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2025

1.4

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.

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.

Earth Futures: Environments, Communities, Relationships MSc - Batch of 2025

4.1

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.

MS in Computing Science - Batch of 2025

3.8

Strong academics, supportive faculty and good career opportunities

Tips: The main thing to prepare for before starting the MSc CS at Glasgow is the academic style—it's very independent, so you'll be spending a lot of time doing self-study and research projects outside of lectures. The Scottish weather takes some adjusting to, but the campus vibe more than makes up for it. Receiving the £10k scholarship made studying abroad way more manageable. The course content covers all the key areas like ML, data science, AI, and cybersecurity with really practical, project-based learning. Plus, faculty support is solid and the university brings in a lot of tech employers for career fairs throughout the year.
