What students say about biotechnology

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

What students say about biotechnology

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

The best is the people and the lecturers. The facilities are vast meaning support is available for many issues not only academic. The place that may need improvement is the social accepts as it may be hard to make connections for many.

What students say about biotechnology

the university is very welcoming with a fantastic social scene and provides many opportunities for students in most courses that aren’t accessible in a lot of other places. You can feel the university’s prestige and history without the worry of a class divide as there is a diverse scene of students. The one worst aspect of glasgow university is the struggle to find a space to study at certain times of day. There isn’t too many facilities for studying on campus considering the size of the university and the number of students they host.

What students say about biotechnology

Amazing overall experience but with a few caveats. Not enough support for placement students especially if they have trouble while on placement. Not enough dedication is given to the welfare and diversity/EDI sector, constantly feels like students are fighting to keep it going and the uni/union is ready to shut services down whenever possible.

There are a lot of positive with regards to the uni as a whole. There are things that could definitely improve. Positives would be the campus and its beauty, lecturers and the overall way of its organised. Things that can be improved are having much more bonding sessions, being much more straight in selecting students for sport teams.

What students say about biotechnology

The course curriculum is designed well to lay the foundations of various subjects in 1st sem, and we apply those learnings during our assignments and in the 2nd sem. It is more practical learning with hands-on approach on group projects and industry collaborations in the 2nd sem. The staffs are brilliant and incredibly supportive. There are lots of facilities and societies for extra curriculars. The university is situated near the city centre and so it is in a very good location. People in the town are very kind. Overall, I am having a great experience in the university.
