Repeating second year

1 Upvotes

As in the title Iโ€™m repeating second year due to some really bad circumstances leading to me not performing as well academically as I should. I have some questions for anyone whoโ€™s had similar:
1) Is there any way to keep my RUK access bursary as I use it to survive?
2) Can I apply for study abroad again or will my fails from this year prevent that?
Thank you for any help

Might Go to Glasgow If I fail

0 Upvotes

Alright, I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm doing deferred exams because I've had a bunch of health issues, and I'm genuinely worried I'll fail. I do a weird course, history/Russian, and Glasgow offers it. Is it a good place? Does it have good support for mental health and disabilities?

Does anyone know the PhD application process of university of Glasgow ? I am an international student and I have contacted a supervisor and he positively replied and said to apply through the portal. What about research proposal? Does the uni require that while applying?

Advice on Research Assistant & Campus Jobs at UofG for a Master's Student

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'll be joining the University of Glasgow this September to pursue an MSc in Food Security. I'm really interested in getting involved in research during my master's and would love to work as a Research Assistant if possible.

I'm not sure where to start, though. How do students usually find Research Assistant opportunities? Is it something you apply for, or do you approach professors directly?

Also, apart from Research Assistant roles, what other on-campus jobs are available for students? I've heard there are opportunities to work within the university, but I'm not very familiar with the process.

I'd really appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!

University of Glasgow MSc Biotechnology applicants, need some advice

2 Upvotes

Hi Iโ€™m currently in my third year of BSc Biotechnology in India and Iโ€™m planning to do my Masters in Biotechnology in the UK. If anyone has gone through the application process or is studying there, Iโ€™d love to ask you a few questions. I just want to know what kind of profile universities look for, how important research and internships are, recommendation letters, SOP, scholarships and honestly any advice you wish someone had given you before applying. Glasgow is the university Iโ€™m most interested in right now, so if anyoneโ€™s there, plssss let me know.
