Scotland’s fantastic history extends to its universities, with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and St Andrews among the oldest in the UK, offering some of the most incredible surroundings to study in.

Scottish students may not want to stray far from home: the government covers tuition fees for those studying their first undergraduate degree here.
