Culture
Sure, we have stunning castles and monuments. Yeah, we have more than 460 museums and galleries. Of course, we have internationally-renowned, national performance companies. However, we’re also an amazing hotbed of new and emerging music, home to one of the largest concert venues in the UK and have a well-earned reputation for putting on a party and having a great time.
Cities
Scotland’s seven vibrant cities are jam-packed with a huge amount of things to do when you need a break from the books. Each of our cities have their own unique character and charm, offering everything from indie cafes and second hand book shops to intimate gig venues and a selection of pubs and clubs to suit every taste. With so many options, you’ll be spoiled for choice everyday.
Student Real Life Stories
If you’re thinking about studying in Scotland, and looking for first-hand accounts of what life here is like, don’t just take our word for it. Let some of our international students tell you why they chose Scotland - and why you should too!
Getting around
Whether it’s getting to class, or getting time away from the books, Scotland has an excellent public transportation system. Roughly 95% of the population live within a five minute walk of a bus or train stop in Scotland, meaning that wherever you need to go, we can get you there. With most companies also offering discounted student prices, we can save you a few quid at the same time!
Where is Scotland
Located in the mid-west of Europe, Scotland may be small but we’re punching well above our weight! Occupying the northern third of Great Britain we share a border with England in the south and pack some of the most stunning scenery in all of the UK into our borders. From wild coastlines and pristine beaches to rolling valleys and towering mountains, Scotland’s geography is a huge part of its appeal.
