Attending universities: 

University of Aberdeen

The University of Aberdeen was founded in 1495, making it the third-oldest university in Scotland and fifth oldest in the UK. Five Nobel Prize winners are associated with the University, and students electing to study at Aberdeen would be joining a varied and thriving community of around 12,000 students worldwide.

Roughly half of University of Aberdeen students study medicine, science or engineering, with arts and social sciences also popular.

University of Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh is a renowned centre for teaching and research in Scotland and was founded in 1583, making it one of the oldest universities in the UK. The University of Edinburgh is amongst the world's largest and most prestigious universities, and Edinburgh is currently ranking in the global top 25 in the QS World University Rankings 2024.

Academically, Edinburgh holds a strong reputation for medicine and science, being home to numerous discoveries and inventions such as anaesthetic, penicillin and the telephone. The University also has the oldest Department of English Literature in the UK, scoring highly for humanities.

University of Glasgow

The University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world, founded in 1451. Based in Scotland’s largest city, the University of Glasgow is one of the world’s top 100 universities and currently has 26,000 students from over 120 different countries enrolled. Glasgow is also a member of the prestigious Russell Group of UK research universities.

Glasgow has produced six Nobel laureates, one Prime Minister, Scotland's inaugural First Minister, and the country's first female medical graduates. 96% of the University of Glasgow's research-active staff work in areas that have been independently assessed as producing research of international importance. Glasgow is one of only a few Scottish universities to offer a Common Law LLB. 

University of St Andrew's 

The University of St Andrews is the third-oldest university in the English speaking world and the oldest in Scotland, founded in 1413. Despite being a small town, St Andrews has long been a centre of Scottish political and religious life, which is reflected in the University’s strong reputation in the humanities, particularly divinity and philosophy. 

Scottish degrees last four years, and at St Andrews, this is used to provide greater flexibility. Students apply to one of four Faculties (Arts, Divinity, Medicine or Science) and take modules toward a degree, with a chance to specialise further in the final two years.

St Andrews was named University of the Year for 2020, 2021, and 2023 and it ranked #2 in the UK for 2024 (The Times Good University Guide), whilst the Teaching Excellence Framework awarded the University Gold for "exemplary" teaching.
