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 9,266 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, IB, 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. The IB diploma is accepted upon admission. UWS also provides online undergraduate programs.
Master's degree at UWS
The academic performance of a student in an undergraduate program plays an important role in the selection of candidates. It is impossible to enter UWS for a master's program without confirming knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. There is an opportunity for admission to online master's programs at UWS.
UWS campus
UWS has an urban campus, which provides students with many options for study and recreation. The abundance of museums, theaters and cinemas creates opportunities for the cultural development of young people. In the city, there are also large companies that offer internships. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. Not only locals study at UWS, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
After graduation, you can stay in United Kingdom for another year. You can do this by extending your student visa or applying for a job search visa. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
