China's ambassador to the UK has been on a weeklong visit to Scotland in an effort to strengthen the growing relationship between the two nations.

The UK government has rejected recommendations to give Scottish institutions a seat on the UK Research and Innovation board for “no good reason”, one Scottish MP has said.

Scottish universities should diversify income streams away from “potentially volatile international student fees” as they try to fill funding gaps, a government report has argued. 

UCAS has seen a 17% rise from international applicants from outside the EU for the UK autumn intake, while EU applicants dipped, latest figures indicate.

Universities in Scotland are offering a support package to students that aims to improve their wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With a £6m investment, the Scottish government has launched a new campaign called 'Scotland is Now' to encourage tourists, businesses, and students that now is indeed the right time to choose Scotland as a destination.

Around three-quarters of the British public would like to see the same amount or more international students in the UK, after finding out the economic contribution they make to the country, according to a recent poll.

The Scottish government has confirmed that EU students enrolling in Scotland in 2017 will have access to the current funding scheme.
