University of Strathclyde Reviews & Ratings ,Glasgow,UK

Tips: I had a smooth transition to the University of Strathclyde. I became more independent and experienced a cultural shift. To apply for the scholarship, I went to the scholarship site, and after a review by the committee, I was awarded the scholarship of 3000 pounds, which reduced my final tuition fees.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of options in Glasgow for Indian food. Even the locals are fans of Indian food, and many Indian restaurants have opened in recent years as the number of Indian students has increased...

Tips: Students coming to Glasgow need to be prepared mentally to stay a year without old friends and family. Once you reach the city, you start your life with new friends who sometimes turn out to be like family. Get in contact with the Indian Co-Coordinator and follow up with them for more and more scholarship offers. The city is really amazing, not too costly as London but still costly. The people in Glasgow are really friendly, and the UK has a good name in Education and they try their best to deli...

Tips: If you come to a different country you will feel the culture change because of food, fashion, languages and other aspects. But no need to worry you will be very comfortable in a few days. I availed scholarship of 3000 before entering the UK but that was given to me by my agency. Many other people got scholarships of 10k GBP, if you feel you can write an essay about why you should get the scholarship and send it to the university and for this, you have to check the university page. Overall, I am ...

Tips: Some courses have scholarships that students can apply for. Getting accommodation is quite difficult, so I would recommend trying to get accommodation as soon as possible. The university is pretty good and I think most people would enjoy it. The course is tedious at times but I never really found it that difficult.

Likes (Public transportation): There are 2 train systems that link all of Glasgow, and they both have stations within 5 minutes of the university buildings. Ticket costs are dependent on distance, but should max ou...

Tips: Talking about my course, make sure the modules selected are good because a few modules are outdated in the industry. I would recommend keeping the University of Strathclyde as the second option for Masters in advanced computer Science because it's not advanced and to be honest not worth it.

Tips: First and foremost, I believe I have matured as an individual in all aspects. Every day will teach you something that will favourably impact your personality. There is a scholarship for my course; simply check the date and website. The M.Sc. Finance department provides excellent instruction. To be the best, you must have a competitive advantage. Aside from the weather, I believe my experience living in the country was above average.

Tips: There was no cultural shift, no transition required as my university was filled with Indians but the experience was good. No scholarship is rewarded, I used my own money. I'm not satisfied with the university, not worth the course. The country is good, with good people but the climate is the biggest drawback.

Tips: Don't spend money on luxuries until you get a part time job. Rather than part time other facilities are incredible great and easy to use. One should get the winter jackets from superdry or north face because the quality compared to the price in which we get them is great and you'll need it throughout the year.

Likes (Value for money): Good facilities for students including gym and library which is open 24hrs in summers. Tuition fees is high compared to the coursework and the staff. Most of the staff speak fluent English...

Tips: There is a vibrant Indian community in Glasgow. You can always find a piece of home here if you look for it. The cultural shift was not so much in my opinion. As long as you keep an open mind and a warm heart, you will find the college and Glasgow a great place to learn and grow. The faculty has an informal, eloquent and mostly funny way of teaching that keeps us engaged and curious. I was advised that scholarships don't exist but they do exist and most of my classmates saved a good amount of mo...

Tips: There was no cultural shock as we commonly believe in India. I would suggest people coming to Strathclyde to just focus on their studies as it is a very reputable uni in Glasgow because people fail in many subjects due to lack of coordination and punctuality due to part-time. Also, get a good pair of jackets based on the weather conditions. Overall, the university is good. The rent is high for everything you will have to pay. Course modules are very good.

Likes (Indian Food): Food options are good, you get 4 to 5 A...

Tips: Ge accommodation ready before you land, or at least know someone who can look it up for you. Get comfortable with a little unease and be calm. The workload and group projects can be a little overwhelming but it is a lot better to follow up and keep working hard.

Likes (Public transportation): Glasgow is easily accessible and well connected via public transportation and the buses often drop you in front of your classroom doorstep. Even if you find yourself renting outside the city which is a lot cheaper, you can arrange for pub...

Tips: Get to know staff maybe connect with them on LinkedIn. Check whether the lecture happens online or offline since one of our modules is almost entirely online. Along with that see how the marking scheme is for each module that you want to go for so it would help to plan your study in advance.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good, cheap and less crowded. You have lot of options to travel by bus, subway and train. If you are about 20 years old then you get a free bus and train pass from the university whic...

Tips: College does matter, your skillsets matter. It is just a degree. You need to know what you wanna do and become. Don't focus on the part time jobs either. Yes , I said it. A guy who worked for hours. You have one year, equip maximum skill with what you can. Plan, later you can definitely find a full-time role as well.

Likes (Safety): They do take care of students. Always cared for mental health as well. Have support teams to take care. Everybody is in their dream world so nothing is gonna be an issue unless you a...

Tips: Students need to think about what course, university, or professor would look good on their resume. University also provides a good amount of scholarship like I got a scholarship for 310000. Also, try to start your course in the September intake which will give me more exposure to students.

Tips: The only problem you will face in Scotland will be to understand Scottish English. The accent is very unique but I can say that after spending a few months among them you will get used to it. I had received a scholarship from the university to pursue my Masters.

Likes (Safety): There is no questions regarding safety in Glasgow. People behave well and are very welcoming. Whatever you want is easily available. There are many good Indian restaurants. The best part is that Glasgow is a very active city, there is al...

Tips: Just know that you will be spending money to move from your country to the UK and not on the education itself. The education is overhyped and is subjective to each person. Most of the learning which one person wants to do can be done through youtube. The jobs you would have after MSc will be around a 25-30k job. Unless you are really lucky or have a lot of friends in big companies here. It seems to be a better option to learn the skills and directly apply for jobs in the UK from your home countr...
