The best aspects are the campus is stunning with a mix of ultra-modern looking building and incredibly old ones too. There are loads of cafes and food places both on campus and immediately adjacent to it too. One of the worse aspects is that there is very rarely enough seats for students to study (meaning many students are sat on the floors)

The course is split up nicely between on campus and online with at least one lab class being on campus every week. Class sizes are also quite small so tutors can give as close to one-on-one intact as possible.

University years have been the best years of my life for me. The academic and social opportunities i have had have shaped me into the person i am today and my confidence to take on new challenges is all thanks to my university experience.

All buildings and equipment at the UofG seem to be excellent. Small things such as Water fountains and wall sockets are found everywhere. The Stevenson building offers an excellent gym, sauna and swimming pool and seems to cater to the needs of all. Student finance services are available for students and staff are available everywhere to help with simple things such as directions.

Academic support is excellent with all staff being only an e-mail or office visit away. Counselling is also present at the university however wait-times are ridiculous from what i hear.

- Both the GUU and QMU offer an excellent range of opportunities for socialising and sport. As well as this, they also host a range of concerts at the QMU with fairly exclusive acts and my attendance to the UofG allows me to participate and experience this.

Glasgow is one of the top-cities for night life with many pubs, bars and clubs catering to all tastes and most places are cheap on student days (during the week). During the day, every shop imaginable exists in the west end and town and public transport such as the subway or train is relatively cheap. A number of parks such as kelvin grove park are also near the university to simply enjoy the day in and relax whilst taking breaks from studying.

Clubs and societies seem to be top-notch with all sorts of sport, technology and niche societies existing at the UofG.

Like most. - The efficiency of the course teaching method seems to be high with experienced lecturers and researchers taking control of the material being taught. From experience, examinations seem to test the limits of knowledge and problem solving. - There is always staff available to contact for any questions or quieries or simply help with a piece of work that may be the current focus Like the least - Practical work seems to be very basic and not as specific to my course as i would have thought it should be,

From my experience at the University of Glasgow, i have had a number of opportunities from the university to increase my job prospects and improve my graduate attributes. Confidence - Not only have i developed confidence throughout studying my course, the university has also supplied many opportunities for the development of confidence such as through extra-curricular societies - for any type of personality that exists - as well as events such as ski trips to gain experience abroad in different countries and meet new people - a priceless opportunity for networking. Effective communicators - My course has given me many opportunities to develop my social skills both as an individual and in group work through the use of presentations and talks. My university also has a TedX talk event in the near future which brings together a diverse range of qualified academics who share knowledge on their subjects of interest and spread awareness on their subject. Adaptable - My university has given me experience to be adaptable in any situation imaginable due to the diversity of the student life - i am able to discuss a range of topics with a range of people in social situations and in academic situations, for example social nights out, academic talks, in workshops and labs and this has given me a chance to improve my knowledge on many areas of life simply by discussing ideas with other intellectuals. Careers department - The university has a devoted careers department which assists students in finding a career personalised to them - with the university having such a large database of companies looking to fill vacancies The student finance area also helps students in need during hard personal times with financial assistance in the form of grants and loans. Work placements - A range of work placement opportunities have been offered to me and my fellow students through in-course networking and even the daily student e-mail system moodle. Jobs and placement opportunities are offered directly through e-mail and all that is required is usually a CV and a cover letter.
