City of Glasgow College welcome applications from international students. As Scotland’s largest college, we offer a broad range of full-time courses, with prestigious qualifications.
Entry qualifications
You must demonstrate that you meet the entry requirements for the programme that you wish to study. We ask that your qualification is an equivalent level to the required Scottish qualification. Your school-leaving certificate or college diploma may already meet these requirements. You'll be asked to upload a scanned copy of your qualifications in your online application. The International Office will check that it meets the entry requirements for your choice of course.
If you require any further information regarding entry requirements for your country, please contact the International Team.
