The tour of Scotland’s universities was a game-changer for me! I had the chance to visit some of the best campuses, and it really helped me narrow down my options for university.
This program gave me a real taste of what studying in Scotland could be like. I loved learning about the different universities and their programs.
An unforgettable experience! The hands-on workshops were so helpful in understanding what I might want to pursue in the future.
