Famous for its hospitality and warmth, Scotland is an important part of the UK and a preferred country for many international students planning to study abroad. But what makes Scotland such a popular destination? Stuart Easter, International officer for the University of Edinburgh,recently spoke to The Hindu (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-educationplus/the-scotland-attraction/article7906149.ece) in an exclusive interview to demonstrate why Indian students should study in Scotland and here are just a snippet of the reasons why.
Indian students

Transition from India to Scotland
When arriving at a Scottish university, Indian students will take part in orientation events which will familiarise themselves with the university and also their fellow new students. The transition is further eased by ensuring oversees students are guaranteed a place in on campus accommodation.

End result
Many graduates return to India finding themselves highly employable with the skills they have learned. The graduate employment ratio of 91% is excellent for students looking for opportunities in Scotland itself.
