Glasgow

University of Glasgow

(http://www.gla.ac.uk). located in the west end of the city, this university has served glasgow since 1451 and is the fourth oldest in the united kingdom, and also one of the country's most prestigious.

There are many nightclubs, concerts and festivals in Glasgow.

Jobs in Glasgow can be found through the government-run JobCentres. Be aware that you will need a National Insurance number and, if you are not a citizen of the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the correct type of work visa to work legally in the UK. Your employer should require this to ensure you pay the correct rates of income tax. However if you ask around you'll find a lot of bars and nightclubs offer work cash-in-hand. Some of the many temp agencies in the city centre aren't too fussy about immigration niceties either. With the city's growing financial services industry, there are quite a lot of opportunities for office temps, though this has changed with the global economic downturn of the last few years.

Glasgow has three universities:

University of Strathclyde

(http://www.strath.ac.uk) is situated in the north-east of the city centre and was originally founded in 1796 as anderson's university, and later became the royal college of science and technology affectionately nicknamed "the tech" by glaswegians before finally gaining full university status in 1964. in 1993 it absorbed the former jordanhill college of education, and gained that institution's campus in the west end.

Glasgow Caledonian University

(http://www.gcal.ac.uk), to the north of the city centre, is glasgow's newest university. it was formed from the merger of glasgow college of technology and queens' college in 1992. literally a couple of minutes away from buchanan bus station.
