Malaysia
We have been welcoming students from Malaysia since 1911 when our first Malaysian student came to the University to study Engineering. The University has a Malaysian Student Society which arranges activities throughout the year and there are currently over 100 students from Malaysia at the university.
Glasgow is a multi-cultural city with a large Muslim and Chinese population. The city is home to twelve mosques and a wide range of Halal butchers and shops. The University has its own Muslim Students Association and student accommodation. Single-gender occupancy is available although we encourage early application for accommodation of this nature to avoid disappointment. Chinese students will also find local provisions good with access to Chinese supermarkets and traditional Chinese medicine stores in the city. There is also a Glasgow Chinese Student Society and Scholars Association.
