Glasgow School of Art

Really enjoy studying here especially as you progress throughout the years in the course and it becomes more independent study-based as you go. As long as you have clear direction individually, its a great school with access to help with any subject at your disposal.

it was okay. it was complex. it was confusing aswell and i got stuck on some stuff it's big. it's very nice. the people are nice and the building is really nice they are bug. well decorated. modern type they aren't confusing. they are filled with lots of info u need to know. the professors are very kind it's exciting. feels new. it's nice because there is so many things to do

Fantastic, I very much enjoyed it, felt so welcome and was very happy with how everything went. I wish I could just go back and do it all over again

It is very easy to navigate around but can be a tad expensive. The room is nice and I am very happy to be living in it but could get more for my buck. So overall it is a good experience for me

Facilities are great, there is a great abundance of them and the student union is fantastic for meeting new people on a day to day basis. I am very pleased with the facilities at the Glasgow school of art. Couldn't complain

I feel information was transmitted very very well at lectures and I enjoy going to them very much. It is an enjoyable way to learn which I feel makes it much easier to process information that is given to me. Great lectures

City life is great, there is a great amount of sightseeing to be done And there are many many many bars and activities to be done all over town. I like the people also, they are very very friendly. This helps me settle into life here very easily

Although fun and interesting to do I must say to anyone that is wanting to take this course that it is extremely demanding and is not to be taken lightly, you do have to work very very hard in order to achieve greatness in the subject. So overall I would it is a great experience but make sure to approach it with caution as you do not want to fall behind

The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is one of the UK’s leading art and design institutions, known for its strong creative community, innovative teaching, and emphasis on independent thinking. As a student, you’ll find a highly supportive yet challenging environment that encourages experimentation and critical engagement with design and architecture. The studio-based learning approach fosters collaboration and hands-on experience, which is especially valuable for architecture students. Glasgow itself is a vibrant, artistic city with plenty of cultural inspiration. However, since the fire in the Mackintosh Building, there have been ongoing changes to the campus, so it’s worth checking how that might impact your experience. Overall, GSA is a great choice for students looking to push creative boundaries in a dynamic setting.

It was amazing. The Art School which is the student union was so cool and so nearby the accommodation. Unfortunately it is no longer open. Fine! There are two options, I stayed in the cheaper version. I really liked my room and the kitchen. Would recommend. Library was cute! Classrooms/art studio spaces were ok. I studied communication design and wish there was more space as all we had was a small desk, felt like it limited the scale of work I could create. Would have been nice to each have some wall space. Great knowledgeable, friendly tutors. Nice learning environment. Mixture between female and male lecturers. Guest lecturers were great! I love Glasgow so much. Now one of my favourite places on earth. I lived in London all my life and Glasgow was a beautiful place to move to. Easily visit the beautiful mountains and locks. The people are so sweet and friendly.

Unfortunately a lot of events got cancelled because of the Mackintosh fire but Glasgow in general is a fun night out Really nice student accommodation options (higher or lower budget) really good location to the uni Library and studio spaces are really accessible and easy to use Very casual dynamic between students and teachers and a nice comfortable studio environment Glasgow is so good for students! Lots of stuff to do and places to visit.

In the beginning, I was overwhelmed with the intensity of university. However, slowly but surely, I began to make great new friends who I cannot go to campus without! We laugh, party and study altogether. The university itself is beautiful. The campus is bustling with young student energy and the teaching is top class. The tutors and lecturers are very friendly so I don't feel shy askikg questions anymore! I've loved my transition into adulthood and I am sure Glasgow school of art will help you do the same. There's nothing quite like the life, facilities and love here

Nice but not as many events Nice and new rooms, with all the necessary furnitures Classrooms too small sometimes for the number of students but everything else is pretty good All the teachers are really prepared and really care about the students I didn't like it a lot

The people have been very welcoming and the city is a lively place to live. It is ideal for studying art as there is constant events to attend. The course itself has a lot of freedom and self directed study which I find best for the subject. The VLE is easy to navigate and the library has a good amount of resources.

What I love the most about being at GSA is the way you can express yourself through your work and seeing how tutors and teachers appreciate and understand that. You have the chance to experiment in a structured way and learn so much in the process.

My experience with tutors and Stage leaders has been amazing. They are incredibly inspiring and they teach you so much about the subject, but also about yourself. Social life is amazing, the atmosphere feels always free of judgement and creative.
