International applicants 2017

Is the welcome programme available on a Sunday? I'm arriving on September 3rd. Already got my ticket!

Hi, Im currently enrolled in a Navitas Pathway in UK and want to switch to University of Glasgow for my 2nd year. What are the possibilities of this happening? I don't mind repeating a year :/ My situation is very complex and is there anyway I can have a chat or talk with someone?
Regards

Hello,

I am an EU student and I am planning to arrive in Glasgow on September 6th or 7th in order to open a bank account, see if I can find a car insurance, and other small things that won't get in the way afterwards. However I've read that in order to open a bank account, I need a proof of address, but when will I get it ? Is it sent by mail in August, or is it given when we arrive in the residence on the 8th (I'm in Murano) ? If so, is there a way to fetch it a day earlier (7th), even though I'm settling on the 8th, since I would really like to open the account while my father is still with me ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi,
I'll be living in murano too. It is rather surprising that they haven't assigned rooms yet. I think it's best if you ring up the residency and ask them.

Oh, so you haven't had your room assigned yet either ? Thanks for the advice, I've sent an email to the Murano staff. Hope they'll read it quite quickly

They are probably waiting till after results day and then assigning them cos atm only a few of us have unconditionals! Ah hope you get it sorted quickly

I didn't get the answer I was hoping for, but it was helpful anyway (and extremely quick) ! They told me they couldn't tell us which room we were in before the arrival date because it would take all summer to assign them, so there's no need to wait for an email that won't arrive x) The address will be on an envelope that we get when we check in. But they still gave me some tips that will be very useful when I arrive, so your advice has served me well, so once again a huge thank you !

Hello,

**I apologize in advance for all the questions!

I'll be enrolling in the Human Rights & International Politics program this fall, and I have a question about orientation. My mother plans on travelling with me the first few days to help me get settled into my accommodation (student accommodation, but not university-owned) and explore Glasgow as neither of us have ever been to Scotland. Would we still be able to utilize the airport service being offered for international students? We have no clue where anything is except that my accommodation is close to MaClay Residences. Does the service only go to the dorms or does it also offer transportation to the university? Also, how long is international orientation on the 5th, and are parents allowed to attend? Or are there sessions that parents can attend to learn about the university?

Thank you!

I am an international student staying in uofg student accommodation, and I'm trying to figure out when is the best date to arrive. The Welcome Programme starts from the 3rd, but can we move into accommodation before the 8th? I applied for Murano Street in March so I'm really hoping I get it! Also any tips on trying to find a part-time job? Thank you!

Hi, I am a Sri Lankan citizen with permanent residency in Saudi Arabia, and I'm having some problems with my Visa process. I contacted a uni representative here in Saudi, and was told that I could only apply for visa on the 10th of September due to public holidays, and the earliest I would get the Visa would be by the 23rd. Would it be a problem if I were to arrive on around the 25th?
Also on the university website, it's mentioned that we can pay our annual fees in installments, but the representative is saying I need to pay all my fees before I can get my Visa. I'm trying to call the contact given in the email I got after my offer was confirmed but they aren't answering.
