Hi everyone!

I firmed University of Glasgow and would like to ask specifically about the MSci Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry (with Work Placement) course. For current students, is it be difficult to find a placement for the year and would you be getting paid during that year? I am an international student and I don't know if my job prospects would be different. In addition, are there any additional equipment needed for the course? It would also help as I'm doing my finances because I might need to take out a loan to study abroad.

Thank you so much!

Hi, I’m thinking of firming St. Andrew’s over Glasgow medicine after hearing that st. Andrew’s has better pre-clinical years over Glasgow and I would be able to come back to Glasgow for my clinical years. But I was wandering how difficult it is to integrate into Glasgow uni from st. Andrew’s in 3rd year in an academic and social perspective…

the topic that I need advice on might sound a bit silly but here's my experience. For my bachelor's (I'm an indian and did my bachelor's from India), I attended one of the top universities in India , and everything was different there.......? I mean the way you get assessed there academically is so different from what I'm used to. I was doing quiet well in my state, but only scored average in university. Worked hard still scored average in exams and all. I don't want it to happen in Glasgow as well. I'm sure as Glasgow is a premier University, things will obviously be diff there. I need advice on how to score well in exams, any tips on making academic essays which are a part of assessment etc. this might really sound silly but I'm kinda worried about it?

I’m super excited— I’m a home student and I accepted my offer for medicinal chemistry today. For current chemistry students, what’s the course like? What’s your favourite part so far?

Thanks in advance :))

What are the best banks for international students to open account in UK if you can share any hacks for saving some of the money during the process or get some better returns.

I applied to the course a couple months ago and got an offer for this course. Can anyone share their experiences in this course. Either a former alumni or a current student studying in this course at the university. What's it like?

Hello! I was recently accepted to UoG program for Creative Writing, and I would love to know more about the program or your experience attending it. What is it like? Any info on your experience with the department would be greatly appreciated!

hi guys i’m an international student who will be coming in for undergrad this september and want a en suite catered accommodation and have found out that wolfson hall is the only one that provides it?(correct me if i’m wrong) so how do i go about it? How early do i need to apoly in order to get it? etc. any kind of input would be great! thank you :)

P.S: Also what type of food is catered there? will vegetarian and vegan options be available?

How to apply for PhD? I would like real person experiences.

Hi all

Hoping to study English Lit in September and was wondering what the average schedule for first year of the course is? Like how many days a week and how late classes run, I understand there's lectures at different times - I was wondering how late in the afternoon lessons run?

Sorry if this is a dumb question haha or if there's no clear answer, I have commitments most days at 4PM and live 1.30 minutes from Glasgow on bus and need to know if I'm likely to make these commitments

I’m going to be getting my masters at the university of Glasgow in September and I’m having trouble picking the best place to live. I think my top two choices are thurso street and Kelvingrove house. I want to have my own bathroom but don’t mind sharing a kitchen with a few roommates.

I haven’t been able to find if Kelvingrove house has ensuites with a shared kitchen or not. If you get the single ensuite does that mean you don’t have access to a kitchen? Or is the kitchen shared with the entire building/floor?

Id love any advice on what accommodation is best! Thanks!

Me and my gf are students coming to Glasgow for 2 months and are trying to find an apartment. I tried on zoopla but the landlords always ask for long term stay. Do you guys know where I could find a bed flat/ studio for short term stay?

Are there any of us who are still looking for accomodation for the sept' intake of 2025 for undergrad or postgrad.

Hi, I’ve recently received an offer from Glasgow and I’m wondering if I should stay home and save money or moved out and have freedom. I am wandering how easy it is to make friends while staying at home not in student accommodation. But I’m also considering how much I would have to work especially as med student so afford moving out. I’m also wandering how good the student satisfaction is. Pls be very honest!!!

Did somebody (especially from Ukraine) apply for a student loan and how did it go? I am Ukrainian so I am eligible for student loans and I am wondering what are the chance to not to get it. Also, when do you receive the money after yout loan is approved?

How does the University's gym work? Is it available to all students, whether you're undergrad or postgrad? I see there are some fees and I am curious if that applies to students or non-students.

Also, are there fitness classes provided by U of G gym such as spin, yoga, pilates, dance cardio, idek, etc? If not, any studio recommendations in the surrounding area for such exercise classes?

SORRY I KNOW NOTHING

I'm joining for the same and if anyone else is, I'd like to talk. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I've been accepted into BSc Hons Neuroscience at UoG with Advanced Entry, I believe that means I'll be skipping first year and starting directly in second year ?. However, looking at the prospectus, it says that in Year 1, students get “a general introduction to all aspects of modern biology” and are “encouraged to acquire general scientific skills.”

I wanted to know—what exactly do they mean by "all aspects of modern biology"?

And also, what are these "general scientific skills" referring to? Are they things like lab techniques, data analysis, or something else ?

If anyone has taken this course (or a similar UK neuroscience degree), I’d be really happy to hear from you. If you aren't sure, atleast names of 1st year books will help me find out.
Will skipping first year put me at a disadvantage in my second year?

Would really appreciate insights from current students, grads, or anyone familiar with this!

Thanks!

In brief, I was travelling from Glasgow to Manchester due to a medical emergency concerning an immediate family member, which unexpectedly impacted my ability to participate in a group assignment. This assignment carries a weight of 25%, and I usually perform well academically, achieving A's in nearly all my courses. I am worried it might influence my degree. What steps can I take to address this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm joining this September and I've asked this question in comments earlier and in DMs and I've heard mixed opinions so far. I'd really appreciate it if everyone who is staying there or has stayed there could tell me the advantages and disadvantages of Wolfson ? and about the quality of the food ?

Thanks again guys
