10-week social programme

A few excursions will be arranged on Saturdays and during the first week of the course. Destinations may include Edinburgh and Glasgow. Buses are provided free of charge.

Ceilidhs (a Scottish dancing evening), with live music from a local band, are organised during the programme and are always popular with both staff and students.

Other evening activities, such as theatre trips or events at the Students' Union are not included in the course fee. It should be noted, however, that because students on Pre-sessional courses live together in University accommodation, there is plenty of opportunity to get to know each other and there is never any shortage of informal social events!
