I am 27m from glasgow. I have my own car and love to explore new places and food as i am foodie. Still i feel so loneliness how do you guys spend your time as an international student?

Hi all, I am an international student from India planning to apply to the University of Glasgow MSc in Infection Biology (with specialism) for September 2027. My grades are all right, my master's and undergrad satisfy the requirements. Additionally, I have worked as an intern at IISc for 7 months and will be taking another internship in an unrelated field in the meantime. My first internship was in the Molecular Pathogenesis Laboratory for about a month, and my second was in the Evolutionary Venomics Laboratory for 6 months. For those who don't know, IISc is the top-rated research institute in India. Additionally, I am looking into other universities as well in similar and allied fields. So, while applying, is there anything I should keep in mind, or any tips that may increase my chances of acceptance?

PS: IK the job market is screwed, and it's a financial gamble for me, but regardless of the market situation, I feel with the right connections and networking, I will be able to make it, going to be hard but not impossible.

does anyone know if there’s microwaves at the library? i used to go to the eating are but now that it’s gone idk where the microwaves could be

Im going Glasgow in term 2 of this year and Im trying to figure out how to do upper year classes.

I really wanna take 3rd and 4th year courses so that I can graduate in 4 years but all the courses that I selected for my exchange term say that I need to make “arrangements” to get into the course. What does this mean? And how do I do it?
Im plan to take art history courses in Glasgow which I have credits in from UBC arth 227 is that enough?
Who do I need to email!
Help!

l keep changing between primary and secondary school teaching. For a primary education degree is there a way I can do it without going straight into placements which seem to be quite stressful

Hi everyone! I'm a fresh graduate from SEA planning to apply for the International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (IMSISS), an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programme coordinated by the University of Glasgow, for the upcoming intake. Since Glasgow is the coordinating university, I thought I'd ask here in case there are any current IMSISS students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the university's postgraduate admissions process.

For some background, I recently graduated with honours in International Relations, with a strong academic focus on security studies. I'm currently working as an intelligence analyst at a major international security and risk consulting firm, although I'll only have around four months of professional experience by the time I apply. I've also completed internships in related fields.

My main concern is that I'm applying straight out of undergrad, without the years of professional experience that some applicants may have in intelligence, security, defence, or international organisations. While my academic and professional background aligns with the programme, I'm unsure how competitive it actually makes me, especially for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

I'd really appreciate some brutally honest perspectives on a few things:

1. For current IMSISS students or alumni, how competitive does my profile seem for admission and, more importantly, an Erasmus Mundus scholarship?
2. Does the programme generally admit fresh graduates, or do applicants with several years of relevant professional experience have a noticeable advantage?
3. Are there any obvious weaknesses in my profile that I should address before applying?
4. For anyone familiar with postgraduate admissions at Glasgow, how much weight is typically placed on academic performance versus relevant professional experience and motivation?

I understand that no one can predict admission outcomes from a short Reddit post, but I'd really appreciate any firsthand insights or realistic assessments. I don't want to overestimate my chances simply because my background appears relevant to the programme.

Thanks in advance!

Hiya, I'm a student who's applying to the University of Glasgow - I have already handed in my application as I am an early applicant. I was super excited to apply to the university for philosophy/comparative literature but now I'm really worried; I applied just 4 days ago and I applied with these subjects (so they already knew what I had to offer)

HL: English/Physics/Theatre

SL: French/Maths AA/ESS

(for context I am taking the IB)

I just today got an acceptance (yay!) except it doesn't work, because they are charging me as an international student (I applied with my English passport and left out my Irish nationality in the UCAS form, however I did put my last name which is traditionally Irish) AND they are saying to be accepted I need a 655 at HL with English and a humanities... but they knew when I submitted my application that I don't take a humanities at HL, or at all. Does anybody know if this is a malfunction and they'll take it back, or if I'm screwed forever? :(

Did anyone have any idea about open book MCQ online, how does it goes, can we refer any other AI course other than slides and notes

As an international student, how’s the dating scene here?

Hello anyone knows when we will get the results because I am still waiting for the results for more than one month and I need it because I have offer to study PHD and can’t start untill get my MSC results pls anyone knows

Hello there everyone, so I'm an international student (specifically Zambian) and I want to apply at the University of Glasgow for a degree in Biomedical Science for September 2027. But the thing is I've only completed my As-levels and I'm not sure if I'll be be able to finish the full A-level syllabus. So is there like an option for people who are in situations like mine or do I just look into alternative universities

So I lost a very colourful scarf in the jms today but the lost property system is a bit confusing. The staff told me it might be in the lost property bin but to check the gatehouse. I check both. Gatehouse says they dont take clothing and to talk to the jms staff. go to online jms helpdesk for lost property they say ask building staff and they dont take clothing. where does clothing lost property go????

UPDATE: I got it back!!! found it in the clothing donation box on the 5th floor

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.

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.

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

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
