Quant finance in Scotland

I chose the UK because of its world-class education system, internationally recognised universities and strong emphasis on work-life balance. It ranks second in the sector of Pharmacy, in Scotland and is ranked 281st globally according to QS world ranking and ranked 17th in the UK. Basically, I have a pharmacy background and wanted to select the particular course that will allow me to work in the industry after completion of my course. So I was particularly looking for Manufacturing related course content and luckily I found the Course named "Advanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing " at the "University of Strathclyde"; the course content was really amazingly designed. Glasgow is the heart of scotland , one of the largest cities in Scotland. Very quiet and pleasant and a safe city to stay. Scottish people are really warm and welcoming. Career opportunities are really good , as CMAC is one of the globally leading centers for innovation in Pharma and it's part of Strathclyde university. So continuing education further after a master's is a bit easier when you are already part of Strathclyde. Fully funded scholarships are often available for PhD candidates (especially for International Student ). Overall experience during the master's at the strathclyde university was really awesome. Campus is huge and you can join different societies and meet people easily....Read More

I chose UK for my master’s due to the course duration of one year, and there are no language barriers like in Germany. The course fees were comparatively less than USA or Canada. The application process felt simpler. My overall experience at the University of Strathclyde was mixed. I joined when the COVID restrictions were still present. Most of the classes were fully online over Zoom. From the second semester onwards, I was allowed to visit the campus for library and some in-person sessions or the cafeteria if open. However, I missed the true normal campus experience, where every student came, and the environment felt more lively. Glasgow is a good city and there is a lot of student population. The people are nice and lot of places to visit. It is also the largest city in Scotland with good career opportunities....Read More

The course offered was the first of its kind. A one-year Master's program that allowed me to continue working as it was part-time and distance learning. I always wanted to study law, but as I had pursued the sciences, I did not think it would be possible. The University of Strathclyde provided me with this amazing opportunity and I wasn't going to turn it down. The faculty was exceptional, and the overall learning experience was truly wonderful. My classmates were from different parts of the world and their knowledge and personal experiences with tackling climate change issues added to my learning....Read More

I chose the University of Strathclyde for several reasons. First, the UK has a strong academic reputation, particularly in business, which was a key factor for me. Strathclyde stood out because of its emphasis on practical learning and its strong industry connections, which I knew would help with career opportunities. The university's focus on employability and real-world problem-solving was appealing. Strathclyde is also highly ranked, especially in business and finance and the Strathclyde business school is well regarded. The MSc in International Accounting and Finance was exactly what I was looking for a balance of theory and practical experience. The location in Glasgow was a huge bonus too. the city is vibrant, affordable compared to the other UK cities, and packed with culture and student-friendly spots. Career-wise, Strathclyde offers excellent resources, from internships to job fairs, and has great links with top industries. The academic experience was challenging but rewarding, with lots of group work and hands-on projects. beyond academics, the student life was fantastic there were plenty of clubs, societies, and activities to get involved in, which made the experience even more fulfilling.
