Central & East European Studies/History - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

Beautiful campus with great educational, social, and extracurricular opportunities. Being able to take elective subjects broadens your ability to understand topics from different points of view and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the topic at hand. Extracurriculars which can suit anybody and any specific interests, also great for beginners who want to take on new challenges. I would say that the university’s avenues of support should be more accessible and have more funding - with such a huge student body this is vital. Those struggling with their mental health or require extra assistance with a physical disability should know that they have somewhere to go with any queries or concerns straight away. Though these are available, they should be advertised around the university a lot more so people know that they have a direct network of support which they can access whenever they may need it.

Glasgow is a fantastic place to live because there's so much going and it really feels like a proper city instead of a university town dominated by students. The university itself has mostly good facilities but could do with more study spaces. Flat hunting has been a mixed experience and improvements could definitely be made to make that an easier experience for all students. The university library is a great place to study but changes could be made to different floors to create more desks and also more charging portals.

Glasgow is a brilliant city both to live and study in. The on campus facilities are of a high quality and living in the West End means everything is easily accessible to students. The library is vast and there are plenty of places to study and hang out. The student union could potentially be improved to provide more spaces for social activities such as dart boards etc. Potentially some of the lecture spaces could be improved and the library does have a lack of plug sockets on all floors which occasionally makes it difficult to always find a space to reliably work for a sustained period of time

The uni is in the West End of Glasgow which feels so safe and is very picturesque with parks within walking distance. The French course is very good. The rent prices are very high compared to other universities in the UK.

I think the uni as a campus is absolutley stunning and nothing can beat the architecture of the old building. The library and JMS are great, could do with a few more chairs in jms but thats about it. the surrounding area is fabulous and really accessable. The staff and tutors are amazing and all super helpful too. Not really any complaints at all
