Scotland - Excellence in Education
Why study in Scotland?

Did you know about Scotland's academic excellence? 86% of research in our higher education institutions has been judged to be internationally excellent, according to the latest independent Research Assesment Exercise.

The Scottish approach to teaching will encourage you to  think creatively and put your ideas into practice in the real world. The result is a challenging, enjoyable and valuable learning experience that enhances personal and professional development.

In a recent report commissioned by the British Council, 86% of university students surveyed would recommend the Scottish experience to others and 91% of international students think Scotland is a good place to be.

Next year, you could be part of it.

In addition to an exceptional education experience, you can apply to work in Scotland or the rest of the UK for up to two years through Fresh Talent Post Study  after your graduation.

This will enable you to gain overseas work experience for your résumé that will put your achievements ahead of your peers.

A great package - so what are you waiting for?
