Spanish/Comparative Literature - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

I feel the grading could be less harsh, for example, feedback I have received previously stated "this has virtually no errors" and yet I did not get an A1.

I love studying at the university of Glasgow because the classes are so interesting. There is a wide selection of classes to choose from and they don’t fail to amaze. The campus as well speaks for itself, it’s the most breathtaking campus and really helps motivate you in your studies. There’s also an amazing range of things to do and places to study and eat. Also the other students are really nice and you get to meet people from all over the world!

It would have been better for it to be in a real class, but I thought the lectures, though condensed, were engaging. The lack of chances to meet people was the biggest disappointment.

Excellent facilities, love the large university gym and student unions. The library is fantastic and the tutors are generally helpful. Moodle (the virtual learning environment) is easy to use. My main negative comment is that enrolling for courses is extremely stressful and complicated.

Chaotic but lovely. When I first started, I could not understand anything, to be honest. I understood what the professors were teaching us but it was hard to understand that I am not in school anymore. This realisation took time but 1,5 month later, I go to my lectures feeling like they are my comfort zone. At first, seminars seem scary because you (don't HAVE to but strongly encouraged) to share your ideas with the rest of the class. With more time and experience, you realise that seminars really are an opportunity to share what YOU think with the rest of the class. And if you are a hardworking nerd (in the nicest way, of course) who loves the subject then that would be a very useful time for you.
