Glasgow is widely regarded as the commercial capital of Scotland, and is located around half way up the country on the attractive west coast. The city was traditionally a centre for shipbuilding and trade, due to its position on the River Clyde, but in more recent times it has added art and culture to its accolades. In fact in 1990 it was honoured with the title ‘European City of Culture’. Glasgow is home to four universities and as such is very student-friendly city.
Learning English in Glasgow will give you a great insight into Scottish culture and way of life, especially if you stay with a host family. One of the other benefits of studying in Glasgow is that the English courses here are very good value, which makes it a great option for those on a budget. Or, it could just mean that you have extra spending money to explore the city with the friends you meet on your course and in activities organised by the school after class.
