Glasgow is Scotland's biggest & most cosmopolitan city

Our campus is based right in the very heart of Glasgow. We're in the city centre, next to the Merchant City, both of which are great locations for sightseeing, shopping and socialising alongside your studies.

Life in Glasgow

There were a variety of lectures, tutorials and laboratories not only related to my major, Pharmaceutics but also to improve my interpersonal skills.
