University of Glasgow blether thread

I went into the gift shop today. OMG I wanted one of EVERYTHING! I wanted pens, hoodies, teddy bears, notebooks, fridge magnets, mugs I got a candle and a teddy bear keyring, but I'll be back again

I feel so happy walking around the uni

Don't worry. It will stop when exam periods start.

9am lecture next year

I had 9am lectures last year, it was horrible! I think I start at 10 this year.

Do you have to get no less than a 2:i all year in English Lit to get onto single honours? I have no idea how Strathclyde's grading system compares to Glasgow's, but Glasgow might be harsher, and I might get a 2:ii at some point as I begin to figure out what Glasgow are looking for, at the start of the semester at least.

That realllly sucks if that's right

No idea, I'm doing Eng Lang

Ohhh you're just taking Eng Lang to honours? What do you need for that then?

I just looked it up because I couldn't remember. To definitely get a place in English Lit you have to fulfil these requirements (copied from their document last year)

1. Twelve standard courses (240 credits) representing at least three subjects.
2. At least eleven of the standard courses (220 credits) must have been completed with grade D or above.
3. At least four of the twelve standard courses) (80 credits) must be at level 2 or above (and these four courses must represent at least two subjects).
e.g. this normally means a maximum of 20 credits at E, F or G is allowable.

So this means that you have to do 3 courses each term etc, so just the standard stuff, and you have to do 4 courses in level 2 subjects. So you would probably do two level two subjects in second year and one first year subject (for you English Lang)

Then the department asks for

1. All four Level 1 and Level 2 English Literature courses.
2. At least Grade D in each of the two Level 1 courses.
3. At least a B grade in one Level 2 course and at least a C grade in the other.

So you don't need a 2.1 for both terms, a B is a 2.1 and a C would be a 2.2. So even if you might struggle at first it will not be a disaster.

If you don't get those grades you can try and appeal/hope they have a space for you but it's not garuanteed.

If it works for you, be happy. It is definitely not working for me. I cannot enrol for a particular Maths course 2M because there are no tutorial slots available.

did you work it out? That plus a non-existant compulsory course it's telling me to do is stopping me from finishing...

I got in touch with the Helpdesk, which is available on the right-hand side of myCampus. Explained them the problem and uploaded a screenshot. It took them about one day to fix it.
