Hi!

I´m from the Czech Rep. and will be applying to Scotland next year. Anyone planning the same? It woud be great to share a few thoughts, advice, plans...

I´m not 100% sure about the universities I want to apply to or the subjects yet. I hope I get a place cause I´m already looking forward to Scotland

[greymoon]

I´m going to apply for Scottish unis as well... probably Robert Gordon, Glasgow Caledonian and Queen Margaret.

great, what do you want to study?

i wanted to discuss qualifications (school leaving exams). our government made it quite complicated - we choose 2 difficulties of the exams and get the results quite late... how is it in your country?

i also need to pass in german, haha, not my best subject

I´d like to study media ...

we also get our final results quite late as well... but I don´t think that will pose a problem. Everyone has to apply for uni before one gets their results...

yeah, i´m more worried about what difficulty to choose, but i guess that´s a question for somebody from czech r.

and are you going with somebody you know or by yourself?

i know two czech girls who study there, but i´m going alone basically. i think it won´t be hard to make some new friends, it´s worth the experience, anyway

I go there by myself... that´s a bit scary! But I hope I will make some friends there (which shouldn´t be too difficult). Yes, it´s definitely worth the experience!

I got the idea because a girl who studies in aberdeen recommended it to me and I´d want to study there even if I had to pay the fees, or maybe in some other part of the UK. But when we have the option, it´d be stupid to pay...

anyway, since you are from England it doesn´t make any difference to you whether you "pay" for Scottish students or for us...

but I agree it´s a bit unfair and I would also be angry if I were you

I'm an EU student and I'm going to study at Aberdeen as well... what are you going to study?

[Kate Kaci V.]

economics or management with some other subject, not sure yet. I´d love to study economics with history of art at the university of aberdeen, but they are quite unrelated subjects

you? are you applying this year or 2013?

[paola__]

I applied for this year... I'm going to study international relations and french!
I'm a bit nervous... I still have to do some exams here in Italy :/
management sounds nice, too bad I'm really poor at maths xD

[THESHade]

I am Slovak and I am starting Uni in Dundee (Abertay) this September.
I also wanna create a blog about my experiences, oppinions and some tips for international students like me.
Other than that, here on TSR is also thread "Any Czech/Slvoaks in here?". You will find lot sof czechs/Slovaks there.

PS. OBV best thing about Scotland is the free tuition fee

Luckily in the first two years you could study both economics and history of art if you really wanted to but you might be better to go into economics and then when you have money from that you can dabble in history of art for fun

You're welcome.

Well I am from the Czech Republic as well (Liberec) and I am starting computing at Edinburgh Napier this September

[Snowzurfer]

I'm applying at Computer Games Technology this year, so I will start on September 2013.

I visited the Abertay Dundee university, and the Paisley University of West of Scotland as well.

What I can tell you is that both are very big and good-looking, but I can't tell you anything about Economic or History courses in these two Universities.
If you want, feel free to ask me questions about the city of Dundee, its facilities for the students and Abertay campus related questions.
You can ask me about Paisley as well, or about Glasgow and its surrounding area.

I'm not going to list here all my thoughts, and info I have about them, as it would be very long, so, as I said, feel free to ask me something if you need .

Cheers!

Oi ... Abertay ain`t big. 3 buildings, that`s it. But it`s modern, awesome and subjects you are applying to are best there.
