Why study in Scotland?
Scotland is a very welcoming country. We鈥檙e genuinely happy to see newcomers and make them feel at home. Our supportive communities are made up of people from all over the world, meaning to over 150 languages.
In a survey by , 94% of international students said Scotland was a good place to be, and 86% of Scottish students would recommend it to others. And at least 21% of students in Scottish universities are from outside the country, so we really know how to make you feel welcome.
About Scottish degrees
Scottish undergraduate degrees involve four years of study to give you a broader and more flexible education.
In years 1 and 2, you'll study some fairly broad modules related to your subject area. In years 3 and 4, your studies become completely focussed on the subject you've chosen.
For example, if you take Ethical Hacking, in the first two years you'll study computing, programming and software development. Then, in the last two years, you'll focus solely on Ethical Hacking.
This means that even if you know exactly what you want to do, you add more to your education. All of this is designed to make your skills and in-depth knowledge more attractive to employers, giving you the best start to your career.
Scottish degrees are recognised globally
Scotland is a small country but it's mighty when it comes to education. We've invested in education for centuries, which means no matter where you choose to live, your Scottish degree will be recognised and respected.
Whatever kind of degree you study, and wherever you work afterwards, it's reassuring to know that your degree will be highly valued.
And in the case of Abertay鈥檚 games degrees, your degree will be from a world-leading games school.
