University of glasgow is a very well renowned institution especially in the field of biological sciences and I also wanted to experience life in the UK
Course Curriculum
The biotechnology program offered a lot of hands on research experience, would have been more if the pandemic had not started. The syllabus seemed quite updated. However, the entire course was not as intensive as I thought it would be (there were definitely periods of intensity with lectures and coursework submissions, but also many weeks with only 3 hours of classes per week).
Exams
A 2:1 in a Bachelor's degree related to the field. I did not take any standardized tests.
Placement
Finding a job in the UK is not the most difficult thing, however, finding one that is willing to sponsor a work visa is very difficult.
Events
Campus has great infrastructure, both historical architecture and modern facilities. There are many clubs and societies for students to join but are mainly aimed at undergraduates.
Scholarship
No
Faculty
The staff are all very knowledgeable and approachable. Faculty to student ratio was always good.
Hostel
There are many options, both student accomodation and private. Student accomodation is definitely a little bit more expensive but would be all inclusive. In the UK, almost always you will have a room to yourself (no room sharing), just sharing of a flat with others (common kitchen, living room and maybe bathrooms)
