  • I had an average review for it. The city is great but whatever university has been chosen is great. Moreover, it is more about grades than learning.

  • I love this university a lot. Glasgow is a great city and the campus is amazing. It has such a nice atmosphere and I love to keep bumping into my friends

  • I am so glad that I came here and chose this place to study. Part-time study and working at 2 places gets difficult at times but it is worth it.
