The tutors at Glasgow International College are really helpful. They check my work carefully and give lots of detail on how I can improve. The Student Services staff are very helpful too, but in a different way. They assist you with day-to-day life and can give you directions and show you around.
The College staff were great – they helped me settle down perfectly and they made sure I had everything. I was enrolled smoothly with no issues and I received my student ID on the same day, so it was really efficient.
Our advisers will be ready to support you even before you arrive in the UK. They will send you a pre-arrival guide filled with useful information and helpful tips, and will be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the process, the College or your studies.
We will be there to support you as soon as you land in the UK. We can pick you up from the airport and take you to your accommodation, and will make sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need.
