Guide to Scottish Higher Education

Many employers, including some who regularly recruit north of the border, may not be fully aware of the distinctive features of Scottish secondary and higher education. The Guide to Scottish Higher education aims to explain how the educational system in Scotland differs from that in England and Wales, and to help employers assess candidates with Scottish qualifications fairly, based on a clearer understanding of the value of their academic record. The guide includes the following sections:

  • Background to Scottish Higher Education
  • Scottish Higher Education Qualifications
  • Scottish Higher Education Careers Services
  • Scottish Higher Education Institutions
  • Entrance Qualifications - FAQs
  • Useful Websites
