Singapore
Our first students from Singapore arrived in 1947 to study Medicine and Science. Since then many Singaporean students have come to the University and studied a range of subjects including Aerospace Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science and Biomedical Sciences. The university has a Singapore Student Society and there are currently around 150 Singaporean nationals studying at Glasgow.
Glasgow is a multi-cultural city with a large Chinese population. 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.
We also have an active Muslim student society. The Glasgow University Muslim Students Association (GUMSA) is open to helping you with any enquiries relating to your Muslim faith prior to arriving in Glasgow and once you're here.

Meet Us
Students who choose to be counselled by an agency should expect the following standards of service:
- Representatives will support students throughout the application process, providing advice and assistance in the preparation/submission of documents. It is, however, the applicant who must remain ultimately responsible for their account and the management of communications.
- Representatives will have full access to student data contained within the application form and may manage a student application by discussing all aspects of the application with the University of Glasgow.
- Representatives should be honest and accurate in communicating information about the University to the student and vice versa. At no time should representatives disseminate false or misleading information to the student or to the University.
- Representatives will conduct themselves with fairness and integrity at all times and are subject to a rigorous selection and ongoing training process by the University of Glasgow.
- Representatives are paid by the University for their services and will not pass on charges to prospective students.
