There is a lot to think about when travelling overseas to study so we have produced our own "Information For Students Pre-Arrival Guide" which provides detailed information about travelling to Glasgow to start your course and what to expect on arrival. Please read it carefully as it contains a whole range of useful information including;

  • Cost of Living in Glasgow
  • Weather!
  • Medical Services
  • Transport
  • Police
  • Police Registration

  • Dealing with an emergency situation

It is very important that you have travel insurance in place before travelling to Scotland. Do not travel to Glasgow without it.
