As I am currently in the last semester of my master's, I am looking for jobs now. There are campus career services which organise placements and CV reviews but you are the one who needs to do most of the job like finding opportunities through the university career & employability website, you need to do applications and the job depends a lot on your profile as how many years of experience you have and what is your field of education. Also, the salary varies according to the domain and the country where you want to work.

Well, I wanted to change my field of work and experience an international educational system. So, I applied for this course as it seemed very fascinating to me to do a master's in 3 different countries. I got a fully funded scholarship as well. My overall experience has been very enriching as I get to travel, study with people from diverse backgrounds, and experience different cultures and academic environments. My tuition fee, living cost, health insurance and airfare were all covered except my visa application fee. So, it was not that stressful financially for me to pursue this degree which I understand is very expensive if you are going to do it self-funded. Universities like the University of Glasgow are very reputed in the top 100 ranking for their quality of education, research and other things. Overall, my experience was good but definitely very challenging and stressful at times as well as I have been moving to a new country every semester which means finding a place to stay, visa applications settling in a new place and constant planning of travel, academic stuff and other things. It was challenging no doubt but very much worth to be experienced.

It is quite difficult to get a post-study placement particularly in my course.

I chose this university because it was ranked 76th around the globe according to world QS ranking universities. Additionally, this university is one of the oldest universities in the world.
