Program Description:

IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW PARTNERSHIP
Geotag

Glasgow, Scotland

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Glasgow has been voted European City of Culture and is home to the national Scottish ballet, orchestra, and chorus. It’s also known as one of the U.K.’s top cities for both traditional and extreme sports. Glasgow offers students the perfect mix of trendy west end cafés and restaurants, a wide range of shopping in the sophisticated Merchant City, and the green space of the country parks surrounding the city.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Part of the prestigious Russell Group of UK schools, this university has high-caliber academics on a large, city campus, with everything from triple-accredited business to public policy. Special classes like bagpiping make it easy to explore Scottish culture, as well as the arts, medicine, or volunteering.

If the architecture looks familiar, it’s said these historic campus buildings were the inspiration for Hogwarts. And though you won’t meet wizards, with 40 percent of the university’s students from western Scotland, you’ll have many opportunities to get to know local peers.

Rich in history yet plenty hip and spirited, the city of Glasgow is Scotland’s financial and cultural center. Great public transportation makes it easy to explore. You’ll want to experience Scotland’s rugged landscapes, too. Head out hiking or bouldering with the mountaineering club (the most active group on campus).

With IFSA, your program also includes many cultural activities and an unforgettable Highland excursion. Explore icons like the Three Sisters peaks, Loch Ness, and Dunnottar castle, as you gain an insider’s view of the historical events that shaped this country’s history and culture. Plus, special activities give you an insider’s view of the city tourists often miss.
