Bastian from Chile

Foundation Certificate student at Glasgow International College

The teaching style at the College is really great. You’ve got your lectures first and then for the rest of the week you’ve got seminars where you talk about what you learned. It’s quite good because you get all the information and you can do research at home before discussing with your classmates.

Pre-Master's student at Glasgow International College

At Glasgow International College I was able to get an introduction to university life, a taste of the workload awaiting me at university, and access to knowledgeable staff. I would recommend the College to anyone serious about their education.
