My experience has exposed me to great research. Glasgow is very supportive and helpful. I didn't think it would be easier to find such a welcoming and friendly university.

I have massively delighted in being at the University of Glasgow, no second thoughts by any stretch of the imagination. I would believe Glasgow University to be the most understudy focused college as they are continually attempting to oblige and provide for understudies needs

Overall, my experience was great and maintaining balance between social life and work was the best thing. Here's why I could maintain the right balance between work and life. I learned a lot and thanks for everything.

Course programme
The taught component consists of core courses and optional courses, running over two semesters.
Assessment is normally focused on written performance, but oral presentation skills and other modes of assessment allow you to develop your writing skills in a number of formats. This is in addition to the practical emphasis on developing your ability to interpret and analyse artefacts.
