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.

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 Marketing - Batch of 2026

Rigorous academics and diverse campus.

Tips: The programme is definitely rigorous, and I have classes every day of the week. I did apply for a scholarship along with my application form. It’s only been a couple of months so I cannot say how my university is, but the scene in India is probably better for Master's.

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.
