Psychology/Sociology - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

The best aspects of my university experience so far are all the clubs and societies you’re able to join and meet people through. The location of the University of Glasgow is also amazing as it’s nearby to lots of shops and restaurants that you can go to in between lectures! The worst aspects of university experience would be the cost of living and the price of joining sports here.

I like that my course is very organised, the buildings are easy to use and that I feel comfy here. I think there could be some improvements on the help given to responding to students with a query

Despite it's flaws - I can't imagine ever having gone to another uni. Glasgow is brilliant for studying Politics/Sociology with dedicated and genuinely interested lecturers and helpful pastoral staff. There are countless places to study on campus (although the JMS is always packed and there are rarely seats available). Coming up to the end of my second year - the course has been varied and interesting so far and has covered theory and practical remits and the staff are willing to help with assignments and exams where they can. Most lecturers have office hours and there are numerous workshops you can attend for writing skills, numeracy, and study skills. I would be aware though that for every brilliant lecturer - there will be some that you don't agree with as is normal! I would encourage any prospectus students to thoroughly research the university through alternative sources than UCAS and the uni website alone however, and would recommend paying attention to the political sphere that the university currently finds itself within. As a whole, I recommend Glasgow Uni to incoming students!

It really varies from course to course. There are many cool structures to study in, and many oppurtunities (even though they're not advertised at all)

The University is in the heart of Glasgow's west end and so it is amazing for both transport links and social spots. All of the facilities available are of a very high standard and are always repaired very quickly when anything needs to be fixed. The campus is a mix of modern and old fashioned and so it caters to a variety of tastes.
