[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which degrees/majors are good at which of these unis ?

[/quote]

This entirely depends. But any major offered at any of these unis will be within a research intensive department offering study in that discipline up to the PhD level. This is true of Edi, Glasgow, and St Andrews.

If you're American and want to practice medicine in the US, I wouldn't recommend studying in the UK. But beyond that, the world's your oyster. Even if you want to practice law in the states, you could do undergrad in the UK and then JD in the US.

My experience is with St Andrews, which offers high-quality teaching in lots of areas, but some of the subjects it is most well known for include: International Relations (top in UK, teaching it for a long time), Philosophy, Physics (esp Astrophysics), Art History, Economics, History (esp Mediaeval History), English, Classics.

The Guardian ranks universities by subject: https://www.theguardian.com/education/ng-interactive/2022/sep/24/the-guardian-university-guide-2023-the-rankings

St Andrews does not have fine arts, law, or most engineering, but Glasgow and Edinburgh will have all of those, as they are much larger universities. 10k at St Andrews, 26k at Glasgow, 40k at Edinburgh. Both of these should be good for law, as would University of Dundee. U of Dundee was a branch of St Andrews until the 1960s, and St Andrews located their law, engineering, etc there in Dundee, thus, when U of Dundee became an independent institution, St Andrews lost law and engineering.

But the best school for engineering in Scotland is actually Strathclyde University in Glasgow. And the best for art in Scotland is the Glasgow School of Art, not affiliated with U of G.

But as with anything, look into the program your DC is interested in, research it at each university, get the view book, ask questions, visit open days and campus tours. Perform your own due dilligence.
