    HI! I think I have a related course cause I am going to join Business school community in the Uni of Glasgow this year. I am going to make my MSc in Environment and Sustainable development. So, we will probably meet! Good luck and see you in Glasgow soon!

    Aww, that's the halls I wanted to stay in! But I had an email from the acommodation office to say that I had to apply to undergrad halls as I'm doing an undergrad course. Maclay looks great though! Hopefully see you all sometime in the 'mature' students society :P

    Turkan, i heard from a number of unis that you should start applying for visa within 3 months prior to school opening,i am planning to work on it today. if you havent received your CAS number email pgadmissions@glasgow.ac.uk and make sure you have uploaded your passport photo. If you are having some problems check with your country rep...hope this will help you

    Do you mean applying 15 days before the classes begin ? If so then it will be too late. I think its best to apply 2-3 months prior.

    the 3 months period applies to international students applying for visa because it usually takes it can take 4-8 weeks...i checked with the embassy here, said a month
