the lectures and seminars are insightful and up-to-date with modern cultural, political and social events. The course I am speaking of is the MA theatre studies degree in which we learn about theatre practitioners, theories of theatre making and putting it into practice by devising. This being said oftentimes it can feel as if the lecture or tutor feels uncomfortable or out of depth when talking about certain issues of racism in theatre, or other cultures and their theatrical practices given the fact that majority of the teachers are of White European decent.

Overall I liked my time at Glasgow. I was a home student, so didn’t find it quite as easy to integrate. Tutors were nice for the most part, but the ones that were good were absolutely amazing and will do anything they can to support you.

Glasgow university is a very modern university with modern views, they have a wide range of LGBTQ resources and they have really good diversity standards. I enjoy learning at university despite the fact that some classes seem much less planned than others (for example: the level of resources made available, etc.). The school itself is beautiful, but it seems that the university lacks study spaces (many study spaces are overcrowded with people sitting on the floor) so this could be improved on. I truly believe that Glasgow university is an amazing university with an amazing past and I’m glad to be a student there.

I have enjoyed my course, however, I felt that with COVID-19 restrictions, I did not have much experience on-campus. There was not much offered by the University to alleviate this, and furthermore, in my second year, during which time Covid restrictions were beginning to lift, there were certain subjects that recycled poor-quality pre-recorded lectures of years previously.

I really enjoyed studying English Literature at the University of Glasgow. I personally found the third and fourth years the most enjoyable due to the course selection available. Options such as: Children’s Literature, Victorian Literature, Fantasy and Realism, Romanticism and Revolution, where all courses I really enjoyed and each covered a wide range of literature from their prospective periods. I found the mandatory courses, were also beneficial in allowing me to further develop my critical and theoretical understanding of texts. The compulsory set texts throughout the 4 years were also very diverse and supplemented one another well in terms of comparative essay work. Overall I really enjoyed this course and its teachings.

It’s in my home city, offers a wide range of courses and is high ranking: a great university. The student experience in the city is, under the right circumstances, unrivalled and this is matched often by the quality of teaching.
