Anyone joining MSc (MedSci) Clinical Pharmacology at University of Glasgow,Sept 2026?

hi everyone!

I’ll be joining the University of Glasgow this September for the MSc (MedSci) Clinical Pharmacology program.

just wanted to reach out and see if there’s anyone else here who’s been admitted to the same course or is planning to join this year. It would be great to connect beforehand, maybe discuss accommodation, modules, or just get to know a few familiar faces before arriving

also happy to connect with current students or alumni who can share their experience with the course!

Looking for other first year students

Hi! I’m starting my undergrad at University of Glasgow taking an MA in archaeology/history, and I just wanted to reach out and see if there were any other incoming students (international or not) that I could get in touch with here? Just so I at least know someone before I start my first year!

How are assessments usually structured here?

Is it like more coursework throughout the term or big exams at the end? I've heard like a mix, some courses leaning more on coursework and essays, others having heavier exam weightings, but I’m not sure how that actually plays out across the year.

English language requirement for MSc applicants with a Canadian bachelor’s (international student)

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t find any recent information on this, but I was wondering if there are any international students who got their bachelor’s in Canada and are currently pursuing their master’s at Glasgow. Did you need to submit English language scores?

I just found out that apparently Canada is not recognized as a “majority English-speaking country” unless you’re a national (which I’m not). I tried contacting the admissions office through their inquiry portal, but they just replied that I need to prove that my degree is from a UKVI-classified country, even though my master’s program states “Degree from a majority English-speaking country (as defined by the UKVI, including Canada if taught in English).”

Is IELTS my only option?

Opening a student account as a mature PGDE student

Almost all banks seem to require you to have done an under grad in the last 3 years and be doing a minimum 2 year course. The PGDE is one year and I did my undergrad 10 years ago. Any tips? Or do I have to get by without. Thanks.

College Study

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a college research project and looking for a few volunteers to take part in a short online focus group.

The session will be about the 20th anniversary of The Royal Regiment of Scotland and will take place on Thursday at 5pm via Microsoft Teams. It should last around 20 minutes.

You won’t need to be on camera, and while the session will be recorded for transcription purposes, no voices or personal details will be used in the final project.

I’m ideally looking for people aged 18–24, but I’d really appreciate anyone who’s happy to take part.

If you’re interested, I’ll share the Teams link tomorrow. Thanks!

Can I get into a common law course with a HND?

I'm applying to university this year. I've been wondering if an HND in legal services is good enough when applying. I also have three higher (I picked four in S5 but dropped out starting S6) at an AAC. I also know I need to complete my LNAT at a satisfactory score. Is there anything else I could do?

Coming back for a PGDE in August

I'm a Glasgow grad coming back to the uni in August for a PGDE. Is there anyone here I'm likely to meet on the course?

I'm specifically on the Secondary Chemistry course, but I think it would be good to know folk doing all kinds of subjects. I'm also coming to teaching after a career elsewhere for a while, so I'm conscious I might be a bit older than the average, so speak up if you're in the same boat!!

If any PGDE alumni see this, feel free to chime in with advice!
