Iran
The University of Glasgow has a long history of welcoming Iranian students. The first student from Iran arrived at the University in 1923. Glasgow is one of the approved institutions on the Iranian Ministry of Education list of UK universities and has an active Iranian alumni association.
At Glasgow, you will study to gain an internationally respected degree, but we can guarantee you much more besides. Glasgow is one of Europe’s most diverse cities and includes a large Muslim population. The city is home to twelve mosques and a wide range of Halal butchers and shops. Furthermore, the University has its own Muslim Students Association which represents and caters for Muslim students on campus.
The University offers an excellent standard of comfortable and secure student accommodation, with single-gender occupancy available. Furthermore, we guarantee a place for all full-time new entrant international students studying for a degree (providing students apply on-time).
