It is time to show you my trips in Scotland !   To travel, you have various possibilities: by train, by bus or rent a car. I point out some things to know about the transports.

In Paisley, you can study Business, Engineering, Health, Physical and Chemical Sciences, Social Sciences, Technology and computing. We are around 10 000 students and a lot of foreign students (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Portuguese, South African ...). I study in Business and I can say that French people are more present in this section, it is surprising ! An other thing unexpected is the few hours of course we have: it is less than 9 hours by week. Indeed, we have to work by ourselves (reports, team works). UWS is a modern university where we have a lot of facilities . In the library , we can found various documentation for our reports. A part of the books are a...
