Studying at University of Glasgow is one of the best decisions I have made. I like that the university offers flexible degrees, meaning you can take multiple subjects in your first two years before focusing on your degree subject. There are a wide variety of subjects offered, all taught by friendly and knowledgable staff. The courses are always intellectually stimulating and well-taught. The campus is also beautiful, with ancient buildings and also modern ones. There is a subway nearby and many nice shops in Glasgow’s west end. Students from all over the world come to study here, and meeting fellow students has exposed me to new cultures and a diverse group of people. I would highly recommend studying here.

I find that I have had great student satisfaction at this University and my experience is slightly unique. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and the Disability Services at the University are the only reason I made it through. They have done their best to aid my disability and help me succeed in Education. I did Human Biology for 1st and 2nd year of University but it was such a big course that the lecturers, despite being smart and helpful, just didn’t have the time for every student and I wasn’t enjoying it although the Labs were so fun. However, I swapped to Philosophy in which the whole department has been so supportive and helpful to me in my Journey through University going as far as to assign me a Mentor for Women in Philosophy. All of this has improved my view of Glasgow University. Of course, a brief mention of societies they have – so many and a great way to make friends.

The lecturers with both elements of my degree were, for the most part, friendly and welcoming. At the honours level, there was a good range of different subjects and topics.
Learning was significantly disturbed due to staff strikes. While I understand the reasons behind the strikes, they did hinder student experience, with some students only being able to contact their dissertation supervisor twice throughout the whole semester. Email response times could be poor due to the strikes too.

I did a PhD in Philosophy. The department is very friendly and we all help each other to achieve our goals. The university of Glasgow in general had a really nice atmosphere and it organise many cool events for freshers.
