Norway
The University of Glasgow has a long established relationship with Norway and we have been welcoming students here for many decades. Our Norwegian graduates include Architects, Engineers and Doctors among many others. 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 Nordic population which tend to have more in common with the local population than our shared love of skiing.
