Advanced Lymphoedema Management PGCert

University of Glasgow

The living crisis has impacted on student life in and around Glasgow, making it difficult to find any affordable accommodation either within campus facilities or privately. This should be a matter of utmost importance as it can impact heavily on students’ wellbeing and performance.

Very My university experiences thus far have been amazing. I have learned and experienced so many new things in such a short period of time, and it has gone by so fast. I am still discovering all the opportunities that university offers me. UNB is a very welcoming place, and from the first day, I felt at home here. I have made many new friends from many different backgrounds. There are Vietnamese and Singaporean students on my floor in residence and that has allowed me an insight into their cultures. My classes are great and I enjoy every one of them, especially biology. The depth and detail of what we are leaning is far beyond my high school experience. It is just amazing to think that even the tiniest details on the subatomic level can have such a huge impact. My physics class is also interesting because it is physics for the Life Sciences. In high school we discussed mechanical aspects of physics, but now we are relating them to organisms and movement. It has made me realize how everything action is related to forces. That is probably the best part of university. It introduces so many new concepts that changes our view of the world. I am also taking introductory Chinese, which I greatly enjoy. Learning a new language is challenging but it is very rewarding. The course load is intense, so time management is key.

although it has only been 4 months I am really enjoying it and all the opportunities it is providing me with, and I am very excited for what lies ahead. Glasgow provides the motto of 'world changers welcome' and I feel this is very suited to this uni as it allows students to study 3 subjects of their own choice and really create their own futures, which will make a difference to this world whether it is medically or environmentally.

I'm an international student - English is really hard for me, so are essays - i'm not used to writing them, but Uni has great LEADS programmes which help a lot

It is a great experience. I've found the lectures very interesting and the way the lecturers explain very fascinating. The environment is quite busy but even if it is a big university, there's a sense of familiarity.
