Scotland's universities are among the best in the world. We have a long-standing international record of academic excellence, and our strong literary heritage means that Scotland's universities attract faculty who are at the forefront of literary study. Our departments should be among your top choices for the study of literature. For some convincing statistics, read "Efficiency and Effectiveness in Scottish Higher Education", a report presented to the Scottish Parliament by Universities Scotland.

Visit the Scotland Is The Place website for information on who is eligible to study in Scotland, which courses are available, course costs and cost of living, scholarships, student life and accommodation, and working in Scotland. From North America you can contact the Scottish Office in Washington DC if you have any questions, and they will direct you to the appropriate website or office in Scotland.

From the summer of 2005, all overseas students graduating from a Scottish university or college with an HND, undergraduate degree, Masters, or PhD can apply to stay on and work in Scotland for an additional two years under the government's Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme. International students are a key target of the Fresh Talent policy, which aims to attract and retain bright, motivated and hard-working people to live, work and study in Scotland to support economic growth.
