- Well, As I have been doing a joint degree being delivered by 4 different universities, I attended three universities in person in three different countries. All these three universities were very different in terms of facilities. In terms of accommodation, the Tallinn University dorm was cheap and available but the university accommodation at Glasgow University was costly and not easily available. The same was the case of the university in Ireland.,
- The library opening hours at university of Glasgow and Maynooth University were very good as these were bigger universities than Tallinn University.,
- Student support systems as in counselling services were good at all universities.
- Dislikes:
- But please note as I was doing one semester at each university that was one of the reasons I was facing difficulty in terms of having acc. But it could have been arranged better.
Course Curriculum:
As my course was a social science course in Adult Education for Social Change, It was a very intense research-based course with a lot of reading, assignments and a master thesis and placement in an NGO non-paid. The curriculum was good but I would like to have a more practical approach as well, for working in NGOs as well, we need digital and practical skills.
Fees:
My programme fee was 18000 euros.
- Likes:
- I liked the following things about my university:- 1- Campus 2- Ranking 3- Extracurricular 4- Faculty 5- Historic Influence
Course Curriculum:
My course curriculum is okay, to be honest. I wasn't given any industrial exposure or research experience.
Fees:
32850 GBP
- Likes:
- My university was very pretty. Great exposure.
- Dislikes:
- Course wasn’t worth it. Not a good option for people with loan issues.
Course Curriculum:
My course was very theoretical and there was no practical experience as such and also this course doesn't gave much exposure to the students.
Fees:
30 lakhs
- Likes:
- The Infrastructure: I liked the infrastructure of the University a lot. For a Harry Potter fan, studying at this University is like a dream come true. Cloisters look heavenly pretty during winter/Christmas. You can outshine on your Instagram with just one picture of a University building, but what will one do with the building when there's no placement, and no job security after graduation?,
- Faculty: Most of the faculty members are really nice and have good knowledge of the subject. But you will definitely find some of them just reading the ppts and saying anything and everything to satisfy your questions.,
- College Life: Life abroad is full of fun. In University you'll meet people from different ethnicities and beliefs. There will be great exposure and fun every day.,
- Alumni: UoG has a widespread alumni network of noble prize holders, business man's, scientists, etc. You can always exploit this advantage to ripen your fruits.
- Dislikes:
- No placement: You have to pay a hefty amount of fees just like Indian IITs and IIMs in India, but you won't get any placement unlike them. These Universities organize career events and counselling sessions to provide placements, but reality is start-ups come to sessions to promote themselves and bigger firms just come and give you their website address or cards and go off by saying check online. Then it's up to you only to apply, face 100's of rejection and finally make it if you can.,
- Lack of funding: After BREXIT, most of the Universities in the UK are facing funding crises, that's why they don't have internships/ research opportunities, especially for science students.,
- One-year Masters Program: One year program is too short to analyze, adapt and act. But it can be good for those who have good work experience already and looking to grow rapidly.
Course Curriculum:
Yes, the coursework is updated, but the lack of industrial exposure and time in the laboratory is of no use. I had a course named Omics Technology for Biomedical Sciences, where I felt like I would get exposure to Omics laboratory and do some Metabolomics experiments or see how a transcriptome works, but I had to sit a whole day just listening to lectures and finally do an assignment in which I had to sit at home and read papers to frame an experiment where methodology includes any of the omics technology.
Fees:
£23,000 for 1 year in 2022. It must have increased now.
- Likes:
- Friendly professors who are always ready to help,
- Excellent gym facilities including swimming pool, sauna, and steam,
- Various extracurricular opportunities,
- Part-time jobs and other volunteering opportunities available at the university,

Course curriculum was very relevant and updated. We were given some industrial exposure and got to meet some people from industries.
Fees:
28000 pounds but I think it's increased this year.
- Likes:
- Most of the professors are very supportive and will give their time whenever possible.,
- A lot of networking opportunities.,
- One of the best campus infrastructures.
- Dislikes:
- As an International student, We lack guidance on how to perform well in our exams and match expectations for a better grade. For a one-year course, We do not get broad exposure to anything.,
- Complicated grading system for PGT students.,
- As it's our first in-person exam post-pandemic, they have not updated past papers.
Course Curriculum:
The syllabus is not up to date and we were not given any industrial exposure. We did get research experience in the form of assignments and dissertations.
Fees:

Fees:
24,500 GBP
- Likes:
- The architecture is gothic and amazing. Student accommodation and student hubs/library are really good. The student union is quite helpful as well.
Course Curriculum:
Overall it is a really good course with a lot of lab sessions and report/essay writing. There are extensive assignments which is a good thing since it will hone your report-writing skills. This is of utmost importance in the research field. The evaluation and marking are very intricate and strict. Have to be precise in assignments.There was no particular industry exposure but just a one-day industry trip. Overall, have to be mentally prepared for this one-year course and do well since the way it is put is different than in India.
Fees:
26,500 GBP per year (when I paid in 2022, could have increased now). It is a one-year Master's course in the UK.
- Likes:
- Very inclusive, safe environment for students coming abroad.,
- Wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities.,
- The library is the best place in the whole campus.
- Dislikes:
- The management can be a little rigid with the rules and restrictions.,
- The course material might be a little difficult to grade for students coming from an Indian background school.
Course Curriculum:
The course material was very up-to-date and relevant to the dynamic world we live in.
Fees:
I had to pay 34,00,000 without accommodation.
- Likes:
- University was really good. It was in the Top 100 universities in the world.,
- Quality of education was good. The courses were very practical where we had to brainstorm the solution. The exams were very practical oriented and didn't ask any theoretical questions. The staff was very supportive of all the things.
- Dislikes:
- I enrolled during the Covid time which didn't give me full exposure to the university facilities. There is no placement system, so I had to search for jobs own my own. There is a lot of competition in job, so it takes a lot of time to find the right job."
Course Curriculum:
The course I chose was Machine Learning and Data Science which has a very high demand especially when the world is moving towards AI.
Fees:
The tuition fees of my program was around 23 lakhs and other accommodation fees. This varies with program and can increase every year or decrease, it totally depends on the university.
