Azerbaijan

The University of Glasgow received our first student from Azerbaijan in 1913.  There are currently very strong links between Azerbaijan and Scotland and we are delighted that Azerbaijan students are choosing to study at the University of Glasgow.

The University of Glasgow is an approved institution for the Azerbaijan Government and SOCAR scholarships.
