Advisers of Studies

Advisers of Studies play an important role in helping you with academic matters and, where necessary, can help you with any social or personal issues.

In Colleges where you have a wide range of subjects to choose from (Arts, Sciences and Law, Business & Social Sciences) your Adviser will usually meet with you before registration to help you finalise your choices of study for the New Year. You will then normally meet again later in the year to discuss your progress, but you can arrange to see your Adviser at other times as required. In other Colleges, where there is little or no subject choice, you will be allocated an Adviser with whom you can discuss any academic and personal problems.

Student Learning Service

The Student Learning Service (SLS) is part of the Academic Development Unit of the Learning and Teaching Centre and offers advice and guidance on academic skills to all matriculated undergraduate and taught postgraduate students.  The SLS aims to enhance students' learning experience by encouraging them to reflect upon and develop their own study strategies to help them in attaining their full academic potential.

Student Network

The Student Network is a University of Glasgow service that puts prospective, new and current students in touch with more experienced students, who have completed their first year of study and can:

• Answer any general queries you may have about studying at Glasgow

 

 

• Give you an insight into what to expect from your first year of study

 

 

• Offer guidance and support throughout your first year of study

 

 

 

For more information on how it works please see About the Student Network. 

 

 

 

If you sign up to the Student Network you will be emailed by current undergraduates within your chosen subject areas. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have of students who are actually studying the course you are applying to. If you end up coming to the University these same students will stay in contact throughout their first year.

Student Finance

We know that finances are a concern for all prospective students and their parents. To find out what assistance is available, and to get tips and tools to help your money go further, visit www.gla.ac.uk/services/registry/support/finance/ which includes sections on financial aid, budgeting, paying tax and setting up bank accounts.

Student Service Enquiry Team

The Student Services Enquiry Team is your first step to Student Services at the University of Glasgow. The Student Service Enquiry Team are  located on level 2 of the Fraser Building and are there to help you make the most of your time at the University of Glasgow by assisting you to get the help, advice and guidance you need.

Childcare

The University of Glasgow recognises that parents have a difficult time balancing the requirements of work and family life. High quality, affordable childcare is very important for parents to feel at ease when they are at work.

Student Disability Service

Our service works closely and successfully with academic departments and student academic advisors to support disabled students. Each department has a DDC Departmental Disability Co-ordinator Contact responsible for addressing and promoting the needs of disabled students within their department.

The Student Disability Service is located on the ground floor of the John McIntyre Building to the left of the University main gate when facing the Gilbert Scott Building. Wheelchair access is from the rear of the building.
