Course recommendations
This is one year master degree course, student must manage to learn maximum in a very limited time, which is quite hard. Tutors should try to make their teaching well organised and prepared. unfortunately, some of the tutors are PHD student in the university, they could not put evey effort on their teaching, instead, their class is not planned, and always finish hastily.

Since trains etc are very expensive in Britain, it is quite useful to get a so-called young person's railcard, costs 18 pounds and is valid for a year, reduction of every price: 1/3

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
If you study at a foreign university for a short period of time, it is much easier to accomodate and to get in touch with other (native) students if you live on campus than far away.

Personal comments
Since I was not offered the chance to live on campus, I do not know much about living on campus. It seemed to be so much easier and more fun to live there.

Personal comments
The local language in Glasgow is quite different with English which I learned before I came to Scotland. Initially, I could not understand the local accent, through communicating with local people and studying in English institution, both my local language and English were improved. And in fact I like Glasgow English now.

It was quite difficult in the beginning of the year tocope with a foreign language and new topics.Indeed, I have been graduated in biomedical science (option nutrition)in belgium before starting a Master degree at the University of Surrey. Nevertheless, after 2 month I had no problem anymore with my English.
