Discover Scotland

The International Student Support Team organise a number of trips around Scotland. These are an opportunity for students to see more of Scotland, learn about Scottish culture and meet new friends. The trips take place throughout the year and are open to all students including ERASMUS students and students on Student Visitor visas.

Previous trips have included Edinburgh Castle, Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle, St. Andrews and the Kelpies. Tickets can be bought through the UWS online store. For further information on these trips contact internationaladvice@uws.ac.uk
