Description:
The University of Glasgow, founded by Papal Bull in 1451, is one of the oldest and largest universities in Britain. The University offers over 120 departments in eight Faculties. In addition to traditional liberal arts subjects, study abroad students may also take classes in Law, Music and Film/Television Studies. Students interested in Studio Art may also opt to take one class at the Glasgow School of Art in lieu of one academic class.
Highlights:
Scotland, with its vibrant metropolitan areas and vast expanses of remote highland wilderness, has much to offer the prospective study-abroad student. Excellent universities and academic facilities coupled with a long tradition of scholarship and reverence for education make Scotland and Scottish society ideal for the visiting student.
Scottish universities enjoy a long tradition of scholarship and service. Four Scottish universities had been founded by the end of the 16th century, including the University of St. Andrews (1411), the University of Glasgow (1451), and the University of Edinburgh (1583). The Scottish model of higher education has been exported to and imitated in many places, including throughout North America.
The magnificent geography of the country, from the rolling pastureland of the Border Country to the densely populated Tay and Forth valleys, offers every type of outdoor activity. Universities reinforce these benefits with hiking, skiing, mountainbiking and various other types of clubs. Once students arrive in Scotland, they are often encouraged to join these Student Union sponsored clubs which, in addition to outdoor activities, also offer sports, theater and social clubs.
