Glasgow international student’s popular choice : The University of Strathclyde

Home to a number of the UK’s globally recognised universities, Scotland is an attractive study destination for international students.

Figures published by the Scottish government show that each year 48,000 international students from more than 185 countries study in Scotland. The admittance of international students to Scottish higher education institutions benefits many parties: the students, the local economy, and the education institutions themselves. UKCISA notes that international fee income enables colleges and universities to invest in additional, enhanced or expanded facilities, and to offer specialist courses which would not be viable for the UK student market alone.
