Scotland has 14 higher education institutions to choose from, including world-famous universities such as the University of St Andrews, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Edinburgh. Scottish universities offer some of the highest rates of student satisfaction for teaching in the UK, while graduates enjoy the highest rate of employment or further study in the UK.
Scottish universities are associated with excellence, and each institution undertakes intensive research. This means students are taught in an environment shared by academics who want to push boundaries in their field. Research at Scotland’s universities has led to inventions and innovations such as the MRI scanner and the development of keyhole surgery.
Scotland is less than one hour from London by plane and just over 90 minutes from Paris. With international airports close by and a host of European cities a short flight away, Scotland is the perfect base to explore the best locations in Europe. Scotland’s fantastic education pedigree and vast history make it a fantastic place for any international student to study and call home.
Tuition fees in Scotland depend on whether you are classed as an EU or international student.
There are various scholarship and funding options available to international students studying in Scotland at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Scotland has a rich and historic culture and heritage and is a fantastic place for an international student to learn, with a wide variety of activities to enjoy away from study. Scotland’s seven cities - Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Stirling, Aberdeen, Inverness and Perth – all offer traditional metropolitan life to varying degrees, but Scotland’s real beauty is to be found in its mountains, countryside and scenic landscapes.
The country is overflowing with monuments, castles, museums and striking architecture, paying homage to a long and storied history. Many of Scotland’s galleries and museums are free of charge, and whether it is kilt-wearing bagpipe players or traditional ceilidh dances, your stay in Scotland will be memorable.
