There’s never been a more exciting time to study in Glasgow, with Time Out Index voting Glasgow the 4^th best city in the world in 2022. Students can enjoy some of the most exciting arts and cultural events in the world as Glasgow is home to some of the finest art galleries and museums. A UNESCO City of Music, Glasgow also has one of the most famous music scenes in the world.

Living and studying in Glasgow is a unique experience as with two international airports so close by, we are easily accessible – in fact, it takes only one hour by plane to reach London. Additionally, our campus is only a 10-minute to main bus and train stations, with domestic and UK-wide links. A great base from which to travel, we are only a short journey from the beautiful landscape of the Trossachs and the Highlands.
