University rating
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
So far I have loved it, it has been enriching and fun, I feel studying at this University I’m not only learning a course but growin significantly in all aspects of my life.
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
I think they are good, some buildings are old but they have been adapted for classes, and the main building is very beautiful, it is special to have classes in a building with so much history.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
I think it’s very good, the staff is always trying to help you to the best of their abilities and they are all very kind and respectful.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The University of Glasgow has two student unions, both are great! I haven’t chosen yet what Union to be part of, but they both have several spaces and activities for the personal and academic development, and also just for the entertainment of students. They are inclusive and highly appreciated by students.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Glasgow is an amazing city, although a bit expensive for a student. However it has many entertainment options, there is something for everyone, from restaurants to sports facilities, museums and night clubs.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
They is a vast amount of clubs and societies in the University, they have more than 300 societies and like 50 sports clubs, I believe there is something for everyone.
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
What I like most is that teachers really encourage reading outside the main books of the course, so they suggest articles and other books that are related. What I like the least is that there’s only one exam and one assessment per class, I would like there to be more, so that the grade wasn’t dependent on just those two.
How many contact hours per week do you have?
8
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
Yes! It has a careers department and it has courses to guide you in various aspects of work placement, from finding out what job would be right for you to helping you with your CV and letting you know interview tips. It also organizes work fairs and promotes visits from different companies.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I live in university accommodation, overall, it fulfills it’s purpose, however, it feels too expensive considering it’s 25 min away (by foot) to the University and you have to pay a lot for laundry and buy your own clutery, crockery, kitchen utensils, as well as towels, bedlinen, etc.
