- My university was very pretty. Great exposure.
Dislikes
- Course wasn’t worth it. Not a good option for people with loan issues.
I chose this university as the course this university was offering covered all the topics which I always wanted to study. Also, this university had a great reputation which was also a major plus point for me while choosing this university.
Likes
- The Infrastructure: I liked the infrastructure of the University a lot. For a Harry Potter fan, studying at this University is like a dream come true. Cloisters look heavenly pretty during winter/Christmas. You can outshine on your Instagram with just one picture of a University building, but what will one do with the building when there's no placement, and no job security after graduation?
- Faculty: Most of the faculty members are really nice and have good knowledge of the subject. But you will definitely find some of them just reading the ppts and saying anything and everything to satisfy your questions.
- College Life: Life abroad is full of fun. In University you'll meet people from different ethnicities and beliefs. There will be great exposure and fun every day.
Dislikes
- No placement: You have to pay a hefty amount of fees just like Indian IITs and IIMs in India, but you won't get any placement unlike them. These Universities organize career events and counselling sessions to provide placements, but reality is start-ups come to sessions to promote themselves and bigger firms just come and give you their website address or cards and go off by saying check online. Then it's up to you only to apply, face 100's of rejection and finally make it if you can.
- Lack of funding: After BREXIT, most of the Universities in the UK are facing funding crises, that's why they don't have internships/ research opportunities, especially for science students.
- One-year Masters Program: One year program is too short to analyze, adapt and act. But it can be good for those who have good work experience already and looking to grow rapidly.
To be honest, I chose this college in a hurry. I also got letters from the University of Edinburgh and UCL, but my financial conditions didn't allow me to join UCL as you've to show a 12.5Lakh London living allowance to join it, whereas 9.5 for the rest of the UK. Fees were bearable for UOG, So I decided to go for it. Also, I wanted a blend of Biotech and management programs, as I didn't want to pursue a PhD or research and wanted to join a biotech firm as a Project manager or in Operations, so I thought this course and this Uni would be perfect. I would rate my overall experience as 2.5/5.

I chose this university as it ranked very high in the life science field, that was a major factor. Another was that it had a very good curriculum.
Likes
- Most of the professors are very supportive and will give their time whenever possible.
- A lot of networking opportunities.
- One of the best campus infrastructures.
Dislikes
- As an International student, We lack guidance on how to perform well in our exams and match expectations for a better grade. For a one-year course, We do not get broad exposure to anything.
- Complicated grading system for PGT students.
- As it's our first in-person exam post-pandemic, they have not updated past papers.
I chose the University of Glasgow, as other universities, I had applied to had offered me an alternate course and not my desired course. My overall experience at the university is average for finance.
Likes

- Excellent study spaces and world class resources.
- Great unions and societies.
Dislikes
- No on campus placements.
- Tight schedule.
I was motivated to move ahead in tech and learn more about the emerging field of Data Science. Since I had plans to study abroad from a very young age, I started looking for the top universities. After applying with my proposal to the top universities in the UK, I got selected in 2 of the most prestigious universities. Amongst them, I decided to go ahead with the University of Glasgow because of its excellent research output in my domain. The course contents were the latest and quite daunting. And the cherry on top was the amazing city of Glasgow in the heart of Scotland.
Likes
- The architecture is gothic and amazing. Student accommodation and student hubs/library are really good. The student union is quite helpful as well.
I joined this university as I was attracted to this University since my course is research-oriented and this particular University places well in the world ranking in terms of research. The modules were laid out well and practical laboratory courses are the highlight. Coming to the admissions process - it was very easy and all online. Any hassles mid-way will be taken care of by the Uni admin department.
Likes
- Very inclusive, safe environment for students coming abroad.
- Wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities.
- The library is the best place in the whole campus.
Dislikes
- The management can be a little rigid with the rules and restrictions.
- The course material might be a little difficult to grade for students coming from an Indian background school.
University of Glasgow rates very high on the world scale for the program which I was keen on and that was the only reason that drove me to choose UofG. My overall experience was very good- I met the nicest people and got to work on my favourite topics during my dissertation.
Likes
- University was really good. It was in the Top 100 universities in the world.
- Quality of education was good. The courses were very practical where we had to brainstorm the solution. The exams were very practical oriented and didn't ask any theoretical questions. The staff was very supportive of all the things.
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.
Likes
- This was providing a new course different from other universities in the field of biomedical visualization.
- Students can learn at their own pace. Deadlines for online assignments are provided. Diversity and inclusion is followed properly. Some sort of scholarships and financial aids are available for international students but not for all courses.
Dislikes
- There is nothing to dislike except that fee structure unaffordable to Indian students.
It was good to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and working together for better future.
Likes
- Being a Hogwarts fan, I always wanted to study here. The one-year program in the UK had made a great influence too.
- I had the honour of getting my MSc in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, and I am very grateful for many things about the school that made my academic journey truly remarkable.
- High Standards in Education: The University of Glasgow is known for its high standards in education. This was also true for the computer science programme. Not only were the teachers experts in their areas, they were also very passionate about teaching and helping their students reach their full potential. The challenging curriculum, wide range of research options, and cutting-edge tools all made my learning better.
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.
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.
