Being an international student in Scotland

"Although English is not my first language, it’s not an obstacle to study because the university supports international students by providing the pre-sessional courses and the in-sessional courses for overseas students to prepare and improve their English skill. I also started with the pre-sessional course. It was really useful. I can adapt and use skills of reading, academic writing, critical thinking, discussing, and taking note with my classes."
