Scotland is home to a diverse and internationally successful higher education sector of 19 Scottish universities. With a reputation for producing creative thinkers, world-changing research, and home to some of the U.K.’s most friendly and welcoming cities, it’s easy to see why more than 50,000 students from over 180 different countries choose to study in Scotland every year. Scotland’s four-year undergraduate degree structure is often referred to as the “gold standard” of university education. It follows a long-established European tradition and has been emulated in the structure of higher education courses in many countries worldwide, including the United States and Hong Kong. No other country within the U.K. offers this degree structure as a standard.
