Hi !

I received an offer from Glasgow and I have to reach 92 at the TOEFL. The problem is I got 86... (22/21/22/21) But I will spend 1 month in England in august and I stated it in my personal statement. Would Glasgow accept me ?

Do I Have to contact directly the university through the email adress which I was given by UCAS ?

Hi there,

Just to add to this. You may be referring to the UNDERGRADUATE WELCOME BURSARY. This is a new bursary just announced by the University of Glasgow.

It is likely that fee discounts will happen automatically through the University's online registration system and that students will be asked to decide whether they want the tuition fee discount or the cash bursary when they register online.

The online registration process can be started at anytime from summer 2012 if/when they have the exam results needed to meet their offer terms. There won't be an application form. The decision about when the cash bursary will be paid hasn't been made yet.

More information will be sent to applicants about the Welcome Bursary and other scholarships.

Hope this helps.

Kate, Recruitment & International Office


Hi, I was hoping you could tell me whether it's been decided when the cash bursary would be paid to students yet? Just trying to determine how poor I'm going to be during the first term :tongue: Thanks :smile:
Hello,

I was wondering whether I can still get an unconditional offer if I get 35 points instead of 36 IB points ( my condition is 36 points) ?
I will quote myself from a thread I made today :
Hello,
I have considered applying for a degree in Economics in the University of Glasgow but I feel flustered. That is because I want to pursue a career in the field of analysis,banking or finance and I do not want to end up as an "insurance guy" .Thus I strongly consider studying economics with applied mathematics (Joint Honours). The Glasgow's Uni has two different degrees which are very close to this- BSc in Applied Mathematics with Economics and MA in Economics with Mathematics . A question which stands before me is to what degree is economics taught in the former (because i do want to focus on the Economics and not on the Math). I sincerely thank for all your responses in advance

Is there an official procedure through which one can lodge a complaint about a lecturer? I'd rather not pursue it through my School as they have rather openly swept such complaints under the rug before.


It depends on the nature of the complaint.
You might want to look at this.
www.gla.ac.uk/services/senateoffice/workingwithstudents/complaints/

However, you should probably take a trip to the SRC advice centre
www.src.gla.ac.uk/advice/using/

If it is an issue that is widespread rather than something individual to you, then I'd suggest you ask around your year group about making a complaint as a group rather than an individual.

Hi Vega,

I think its best if you contact admissions office about that coz some university may allow you to register for a pre sessional-english course if you failed to meet the english requirements by an inch....which course are you applying for?

I'm applying for Arts & Media Informatics/Film & Television Studies. I am going to take my English state exam too, so maybe the university could aproove it as my english requirements?

Hello,
I've accepted an offer and hopefully i'll be studying English Literature next year.
I recently printed out the general term dates and it said something about exams finishing as late as the 16th of August?! is that for everyone?

Hello,
I'm in my second year currently studying modern languages. I will be taking two of my languages on to honours next year but my "filler" subject this year is a third language. I really do not have much interest in it and quite frankly it is taking up too much of my time studying for it, when I have no intention of continuing with it and studying for my other languages is of more importance.
What I would like to know, is that if I fail this final exam for my "filler" subject, will it affect my credits and the continuation of my other subjects next year?
As a note: I have attended all lectures and seminars for the subject, handed in all excersises and attempted all class tests and exams.

It depends on how many remaining places they will have for that course.
Hello, I've got an unconditional offer to study History at Glasgow. I was just wondering what the courses available at honours level were like (I couldn't find anything beyond second year on the website). Thanks :smile:

No matter what grade you get, even if it is an E, you will still get the credits for the course. As long as you do well in your other 2 subjects and your gpa is high enough you should be okay for next year :smile: Good luck!

its definitely worth even emailing your adviser about on mycampus. have you tried that? if it doesn't clash in timetables i'd say it seems possible. the MA degree is really flexible apparently.

Hello. I want to choose Film & TV studies as one of my subjects and I've enrolled for it. However, it's written that "entry to FTV Level 1 requires admission via Admissions and Recruitment Service, at advertised College tariff". What exactly does it mean? Will I be able to study film & tv?
