Throughout its history, 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.
The University of Glasgow’s main campus is located in the cosmopolitan West End of Glasgow, just three miles from the city centre.

The Welcome Team will meet international students as they arrive at Glasgow Airport and direct them to the free transportation and their new student home.

The University also has more listed buildings than any other university in the UK, and the neo-Gothic main building of the campus was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The University of Glasgow’s Faculty of Engineering is the oldest in the UK, while the only Department of Aerospace Engineering in Scotland is at Glasgow.
SI-UK's service is fast, reliable and efficient. Their consultants are specialists, working closely with all UK universities and, through my personal advice and application assistance, I was able to receive offers from my favorite universities.
