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.

The Journey to the University of Glasgow

Tips: Upon arriving in Glasgow, I definitely took some time to acclimatise to the culture and traditions around here. But it didn't take much time to adapt and settle down after getting a sense of life here. The most asked question is the monthly budget apart from tuition fees, and I'd say it depends on how deep your pockets are. You can definitely penny-pinch to live in accommodation for lower rent and survive on the bare minimum, or do the opposite, but a good range would be around 1000-2000 pounds a month for your rent, shopping, travel, etc. As far as the university and the course, it's a wonderful Uni with a great history and heritage we are privileged to be a part of. A wonderful city filled with wonders and culture in every street.

Likes (Indian Food): Every other street in Glasgow has an Indian restaurant. And the quality of food in many of them resembles home food, leaving you nostalgic. Additionally, there are now restaurants that cater specifically to various cuisines within India and offer specialised food as well. Though I prefer to cook at home, I also enjoy occasionally splurging on a good Indian meal every now and then.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Although there could be a lot of opportunities for you after your master's degree, the competition is very high. Moreover, as an international student, you are facing some additional challenges while searching for jobs with visa sponsorship. Now, very few organizations are willing to fund students' education to get them into entry-level jobs. It might be worth it if you are going to take a master's course, but I cannot understand why you want to turn it into a job here.

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.

life at university was amazing , slightly hectic but once you get a hang of it its smooth sailing

Tips: The city of Glasgow is a good place for studies, although, like any other place, it has both merits and demerits. The main merit of the city is that one can learn a lot from it and create many memorable moments, although on the other hand, it becomes very overwhelming to start with because one learns about the level of commitment required.

Likes (Student Life): Student life there is fantastic, you make lots of friends, companions for life, plus you learn about a different side of yourself that you never knew existed. Student life is easygoing apart from assignments, there are loads of offers one can use and redeem as a student to help save money as well.

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.
