About UWS
University of the West of Scotland (UWS) — public non-profit university. It is located in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 2007. As a part of European University Association (EUA), Million+, Universities UK, UWS is actively building the academic environment in United Kingdom.
UWS offers bachelor and master programs in different fields of study.
The academic calendar at UWS is divided into trimesters. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. For local citizens, tuition fees at UWS start from 9,931 USD. International students pay a minimum of 20,000 USD per year. The educational institution helps students financially with the help of scholarships and financial aid. They are available to local and international students. The cost of education and the availability of scholarships can be checked on the official website.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.
In United Kingdom, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country. Before applying to the university, you need to pass an exam for knowledge of the English language. The university accepts the results of IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. A subject exam is required. The university relies on the A-Level results. UWS also provides online undergraduate programs.
Master's degree at UWS
When considering candidates for master's programs, the admission committee of the university pays attention to the student's academic performance during the undergraduate program. To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. UWS provides an opportunity to get a master's degree remotely.
UWS campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Glasgow. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. UWS regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
After graduation, you can stay in United Kingdom for 1 year. This time is enough to find a job and change your student visa to a work one. Look for more immigration options in our article.
