What our students say
Drishti Dudani, International Banking and Finance MSc
"Spending a year studying my Masters (Msc) in International Banking and Finance at the Adam Smith Business School has been one of the most memorable years of my life. It has been a pleasure studying at the University of Glasgow, after completing my Bachelors in Mumbai, even though studying at Glasgow has been quite challenging since the method and quality of teaching is quite advanced.
The experience of living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world has been a dream come true for me. From living in university student accommodation to exploring the city as well as enjoying the vast culture of the country has been a pure joy. All the more so because Glasgow is said to be such a friendly city, which is undoubtedly true. The people around the city are very hospitable and welcoming. The culture and heritage of the city is apparent everywhere as even the university itself is over 500 years old.
I feel proud to be called a "UofG" alumnus today after experiencing all the ups and downs and having faced many challenges during the period of my study. I will always cherish the experience and it will always hold an important place in my life."
