Sweden

‌Over 180 Swedes make the move to the University of Glasgow every year, enjoying our balmy southern climate, an education at a world top 100 university, and one of the best student experiences anywhere.

This relationship has been going on for a while - our first known female student from Sweden was Sara Bergson, who studied English Language & Literature in 1906, our first Swede graduating 10 years prior. We have been welcoming you ever since, with alumni working across a wide range of sectors and professions, including education, politics, science, law and media, plus a thriving Nordic Society on campus.

With our shared belief in education, it is hardly surprising that so many come to the land that has more world-class universities per head of population than anywhere else. Not forgetting of course our shared love of music, tradition, wild landscapes... and meatballs.
