Out and About with Glasgow School of English
We actively encourage you to maximise your understanding of the English language by practising your language skills in fun, informal settings and at the same time enhancing your experience of Glasgow and Scotland during your stay with us. We do this by organising regular social and cultural trips and events around the city and the country for students. Teachers are also on hand to help out, answer your questions and where possible provide some interesting facts. In peak season we organise trips weekly. In low season, we organise trips every month. We also tailor our trips to what our students would like to do so all you need to do is talk to your teacher and recommend a destination.
