Lots of places to study, lots of help if you ask for it, lots of opportunities to make friends (hundreds of student societies)

Lectures posted online so that if you can’t make it, you can still be involved. Tutors are always fantastic and willing to help

The staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and they are always eager to help. The courses offered are academically stimulating and consider new methodological and historiographical developments. The university organises a number of social as well as academic events, and the career services offer great advice on both finding employment and applying for postgraduate study. Additionally, the library and its special collections make Glasgow a great place to study history. The location is amazing with many parks, museums, shops and cafes around. The main building is beautiful and right next to a park, which makes it a perfect place to go for a walk in between studying. There's plenty to do in Glasgow, and it's easy to visit other Scottish cities. Some of the older facilities and their tech could be improved upon, and the current rental crisis in Glasgow means some students have had problems securing accommodation, but overall the University of Glasgow is wonderful for studying history.

The blended approach works well with history, and staff has done its best to adapt to both lockdowns and the current UCU strikes. Lecturers are always ready to meet students outside class time to discuss any questions and concerns. The faculty does its best to support history students in finding employment in the field, including career advice and offering internships.
