Location: Glasgow School of English is right in the heart of this Scottish city. There are a large number of bars, cafes, international restaurants, shops and theatres close to the school.

Travelling around: Due to its central location, the school is equal distance from the two major train stations in Glasgow; Charing Cross and Glasgow Queen. There are lots of bus routes that pass the school and make it easy to travel throughout the city. Glasgow has a subway system, and the closest station is Buchanan Street, a 5-minute walk from the school.

Local attractions: The school is in an excellent position to explore all that Glasgow has to offer. The majority of the attractions are walkable from the school including Glasgow Cathedral and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, both within a 30-minute walking radius of the school. The Riverside Museum is on the edge of the River Clyde, a 25-minute trip by public transportation.

Course structure: Glasgow School of English has a number of English courses, in a variety of intensities, including full time and part time courses. TOEIC, IELTS and TKT preparation courses are all available at the school, as well as CLIL courses for primary and secondary teaching programmes.

Business courses: The school has a general business English course that can help all students familiarise themselves with English used in the business sector. There is an English course for Health Professionals, and a separate course specifically for Overseas Nurses.
