Mexico
Mexican students are increasingly choosing the University of Glasgow as a place to further their education, or to practice their English skills. The University of Glasgow has been accepting Mexican students for many years and we look forward to increasing our present number of around 20 Mexican students within our student body. We would be delighted to welcome you as one of our Mexican students, studying either at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
