What students say about University of Glasgow


Likes

  • The project is offline and presents a good opportunity for us to work at CVR, which is a center for virology research in the UK.
  • I have not applied to any jobs yet; however, I am aware of students working in the widening participation field. They get to go out to schools and speak about the joys of university life.
  • There is an annual careers fair for students to interact with employers who offer placements and summer or spring internships.
  • The program also covered the degree fee for 4 years, in addition to the British Heart Foundation stipend (~£20000 per year tax free with an increment every year).
  • The University of Glasgow is renowned for its lively and diverse student clubs and societies.
  • I lived in student accommodation in the first year. It cost around £600 a month and was attached, so we were very lucky to have got very good conditions.
  • As I am conducting doctoral research, its a one-to-one project with your supervisor, and each supervisor is allowed a maximum of 5 PhD students at a time to ensure everyone is well supported.
  • The location of this university is excellent, and I can get there using great transport links.

Dislike

  • Finding a job in the UK is not the most difficult thing; however, finding one that is willing to sponsor a work visa is very difficult

  • 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."

Overall experience was really good and it is always worth studying at a top university.

  • Dislikes:
  • There were some things I didn't like about my time at the University of Glasgow, but overall it was a good experience.,
  • Weather: One problem that is often brought up is the weather. Glasgow is known for having grey weather and a lot of rain, which can make outdoor activities less fun. But this is more of a problem with the weather than with the university itself.,
  • Class Size: In some common classes, there can be a lot of people in the class. In many colleges, this happens all the time, but it can make it hard to find a seat in class and talk to professors one-on-one. It's possible that smaller class sizes would make learning better.,
  • Administrative Processes: The University of Glasgow has a lot of administrative complications, just like many other colleges and universities. Sometimes, the steps for enrolling, registering, or getting a visa can be long and hard to understand. Streamlining the way administration works could make things better for all students.,
  • Cost of Living: Living in Glasgow can be pretty pricey, even though it's a lively and exciting city. This can be hard, especially for foreign students, and you may need to carefully plan your budget and finances.,
  • Communication - Despite the abundance of accessible support, obtaining accurate information can be challenging. Universities could communicate detailed information more frequently through social media platforms and daily emails.

Overall, my time at the University of Glasgow has been very rewarding and life-changing. The school not only offered a top-notch education, but also a lively and varied student life. I have been able to do many academic and extracurricular things that have helped me grow as a person and as a thinker. The dedicated teachers, state-of-the-art facilities, and helpful community have all made my college experience one I will never forget.

  • Dislikes:
  • This may not be directed to the university itself but the cost of living is very high at the moment which is an additional concern to the university tuition fee. Otherwise, I don't have any complaint or dislikes about the university itself.

Over the past 2 years I have really enjoyed my experience at the university. The university allows students strike a balance between their academics and their interests. I've had the opportunity to meet students from all over the world and pursue a course which is very dynamic and interesting.
