About Scotland

Scotland is a nation that is part of the United Kingdom. Occupying the northern third of Great Britain, it shares a border with England to its south and is bounded by the North Sea to its east, The Irish Sea to its northeast, and more than 790 islands. In addition to mainland Scotland, over 6500 smaller islands are also part of Scotland.

Why Go to a University in Scotland?

Scotland is known for many things. Perhaps its most famous cultural exports are its highlands, whisky and Mel Gibson movies, in that order. But there’s a lot more to Scotland than Braveheart and kilts. The capital city of Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities; it has an excellent university scene and has been voted one of Europe’s top study destinations. It even beat out Oxford as Scotland’s best city to live in last year!

How Long Are the Courses?

Courses usually run for a period of between four and twelve months. You’ll find some short courses advertised, but these are generally advanced diplomas or postgraduate courses and not Scotland Government Scholarships. The standard period of study is from 12 to 18 months at degree level, or 24 months for a master’s degree. The exact length will be determined by your program when you are accepted into it.
