The University of Glasgow, UofG, is full of a wide range of degrees that allow for many people to express themselves as well as dedicating itself to its services, study areas and well-rounded staff. As well as this, there are many societies that allow for students to take part in groups that support their interests outwith the University. All-in-all, we can see that the University is captivating in a majority of the work it puts in for the students that attend year in and year out.

No one prepared me for university, I was from a low income household where university was a dream and ambition and now reality. The university accepted that and gave me a place to learn and further myself. The culture around the campus was full and rich, the societies I joined and the staff there really did change my life. Thank you UofG, im so proud to have studied there.

I am a student from China and I was worried that I would not understand the accent in class before I came to Glasgow University, but when I came to class, I found that the teachers were from different places, some from Africa, some from the US, some from England, and some from Asia, so the culture was very diverse and each teacher had their own regional accent, which was lovely. When a student didn’t understand, they would patiently repeat and explain in class. I think the classroom experience here is great!

Studied at Masters Level (after doing my undergrad in Ireland). The course was group taught in the style of student led seminars so great for connecting with the material and furthering our own interests as well as covering the basics in terms of theory. Great opportunity to network with many specialists and work with them on projects like essays and dissertations. Did not like the inconsistency of hybrid classes and they would often be moved online last minute. Student life at UofG is great – loads of clubs and societies to get involved with all covering different interests but catering to a wide range of abilities and needs. I played sports and got involved with the one society and spent a lot of my free time with these two because there was so much going on. Overall I would recommend this programme and university.

I am a penultimate History student at University of Glasgow. The programme itself is quite interesting and well-structured and in Honours there are a lot of interesting modules to pick from and the teaching is extremely brilliant. However, the support from departments can be rather lacklustre and slow at times; especially the GoAbroad team. The University can be quite inflexible as well.

I mean, just look up the Main building of the University and you will get why I was so drawn to it. Located at the heart of Glasgow – a youthful and ever-evolving city – the University of Glasgow was the main reason why I grew up mentally in the past four years. It was not just the education that made me the person who I am today. This institution is filled with activities to find yourself involved in, societies and clubs led entirely by students where you will find like-minded people or people who are different from you but who can teach you about their interests. Life on campus is busy, exciting, never-ending because even in the small hours of the morning you can see people going for a late-night walk. The library is home for all of us and it is, if I am not mistaken, one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, library in Europe. In other words, the campus is HUGE but don’t let that scare you. When I first came here, I was a shy Bulgarian girl who knew English pretty well but who was scared to say a word. It was the other students who made me feel at home and who took me by the hand into this vast experience that brought out the best in me. Looking back one day, you will realize that you have probably had the greatest ups and downs of your life for the humble 22-23-24-25 ? that you will have lived so far, but trust me – you will come out stronger and more confident than ever. I know it sounds like an ad for any university experience, no matter where, but Glasgow Uni is, indeed, exceptional because it is so lively that there is no way you can leave and feel like you have missed out on something. The reason why I took away one star is because it could improve on the number of counsellors and accessibility to the mental help services. Otherwise, it is a golden place where you will find golden people.
