Student Services and Support

There is more to life at college than just studying and books. The job of the Student Service Office is to help you with your move to the UK and the early settling-in period in Glasgow.

Throughout the term we invite you to socialise with fellow students and visit other parts of the UK until you feel like a real local.

Providing assistance with:

Airport transfers
Accommodation bookings
Induction and orientation
Frequently Asked Questions - for all non-academic questions (eg how to renew your student visa, how to register with the police)

We regularly organise trips to nearby cities and places of interest such as:

Edinburgh Castle, located in Scotland’s Capital City
TCeltic Park, the home of Celtic Football Club
The historic City of Stirling
