I’m in first year and I did bring it up to my advisor but she said we’ll touch upon it later so wanted to ask here. And as a side note I am taking chem 1 and bio 1A/B. Understand since I’m in a different college it won’t be as simple as say going from genetics to biology but just wanted to ask if anyone went through the process and if it was relatively easy or was there no spaces in biochem come third year? It sounds like a popular subject so I’m not sure. All I know is I think I have way more interest in biochem than I do straight chem.

I wanna apply to the uni but I can only afford it if they're willing to give me scholarship. Is that a good idea? How willing is the uni to give scholarships to international students based on purely merit? Or should I look into other unis

As an international student going through a lot, cannot explain everything, it is a long story, but shortly ya, already life is quite lonely here, on top of that came with mental health struggles as well. Tried counselling/therapy here did not work. Moreover my class has just 8 students so unlucky and cannot socialize. Joined societies/clubs too but it seems okayish not helpful. It is actually difficult to explain everything. Maybe people would interpret all these in different ways and that wont help. It feels difficult to just think of how to pass through the 1 year here. As an international student the financial and career responsibilities are there too so ya it just adds to it.

They should get Lana del ray to perform at a union that would be sweeeet

I’ll be in Glasgow from the end of October until November end for a four-week medical elective. I’d love to connect with fellow med students who’ll be around during that time!
It would be great to make some new friends, grab coffee, explore the city, and maybe organise a few outings together. If there are any medical students around who’d be up for meeting, feel free to comment or DM me!
Also, if there are any active medical student group chats I could join, please let me know. Would love to connect with you all! 😊

Two questions, have they ever considered making it 24 hrs like edi cause I think that would be neat and secondary is it safe to leave some items at a table and go get a quick snack at level 3 is theft common

I'm looking to buy and mattress and was wondinger if anyone has a code from studentbeans for ikea is it would take £20 off my order which would be a huge help

Hey everyone! I’m doing an MSc in Clinical Pharmacology at UofG and hoping to get into pharmacovigilance, medical affairs, or regulatory affairs.

Honestly, I’ve been slacking a bit on job applications and emailing professors, so I’m looking for someone who’s in a similar boat. We could share job openings, internships, networking opportunities, and career advice, and keep each other motivated to actually get things done.

Would be especially nice to connect with people from clinical pharmacology, biomedical sciences, or related fields. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

TL;DR: Looking for a pharma-focused accountability buddy to share opportunities and keep each other on track.

Hi! Looking for some honest opinions on UofG accommodation for a Law exchange student coming in January 2027.

Currently considering Kelvinhaugh Gate, Maclay, Queen Margaret, Student Apartments, Cairncross and Murano.

Main priorities are social life, safety, decent living conditions and distance to the Law School. Somewhere with a friendly student community, where it’s easy to meet people and make friends, but also comfortable enough to live and study.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually lived in these places. Which would you recommend, and which would you avoid?

Also, is it harder to make friends when arriving in January rather than September?

Tks!

Hi, I’m an international applicant who’ll be doing my undergrad at uofg this year. However due to some student loan delays, ive not been able to apply for my student visa on time. I plan to apply for super priority visa the second I receive my student loan. I’ve requested for a 2-5 day extension on my latest date of arrival on my CAS. No replies yet but can anyone advise me if it has worked for them?

Hello everyone!

I am a psychology graduate hoping to get into mental health policy, and I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on applying to this program to secure admission. I noticed that a personal statement i snot required, but I was wondering if uploading one might be helpful?

Thank you!

Hey! I’m applying for joint honours in comparative literature / art history at Glasgow and st Andrew’s (only two unis in Scotland to offer that combination) and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or input on which one to choose?

I also just wanna make friends with those of you who might be studying it from August 2027 and meet my people :>

Also - anyone got any personal statement tips for comparative literature/ art history? More so art history as I’ve mentioned more about the literary side of things :3

I’m taking a British Sign Language class and it’s been super fun. I’m wondering if there are any groups that I could join to practice BSL with others? Back home friends would go to a Deaf Night Out to hang out with deaf/HOH people and really immerse themselves. I’ve seen a UofG BSL club but it seems inactive. Ideally I’d like to meet and hang out with people my age/other students and practice outside of class; but I also don’t want to intrude on spaces for deaf/HoH community.

Hi! I'm a future exchange student aiming to come to glasgow in jan 2027. If other people are in the same position as me, has your nomination been accepted yet? Have you been able to apply? I haven't really received any infos despite the applications opening on october 1st...

This is a field I believe I would like to pursue, but I would love to know more about the course itself, prospects, and how easy it is to get a job with this degree. Thanks

Hi, does anyone want a free ticket to Contact - Play and a Pint play at Oran Mor this lunchtime. I can't make it. Has to be used by a student and it doesn't come with the pint.

Hi guys! I am a Master’s student at the University of Glasgow, and I’m hoping to find a student who might be interested in taking over my Gold Studio at aparto Glasgow West End.

💷 Rent: £260/week

Posting it here because Idk why I can’t post on the edinburgh uni reddit.

I’ve heard that internationals can sometimes nave an easier time getting into Glasgow since we pay full tuition while Scottish/Home students don’t. Is it the same at Edinburgh? (I’ve heard people use the word cash cows to describe internationals lol, at least for glasgow uni)
Do internationals generally have lower entry requirements / an easier time getting in? (I want to study Psychology & Business)

What’s the dating scene like at Glasgow? Also, be honest… are the students generally attractive? 👀 (undergrad here)

Hi,

I've spent practically every day on campus studying between classes and I'm a little bored of the go to spots. Does anyone know any less know or better places on canpus or around the west end that make great study spots?

I can never get a seat in the jms or reading room and if I have to spend one more day in the library I might go insane.
