University and College Support for Refugee and Asylum Seeking Students

This blog provides details of the support offered for Refugee and Asylum Seeking students at Scotland's universities and some local colleges too. 

Scotland's colleges and universities recognise the barriers and challenges Refugee and Asylum Seeking students can face in accessing and progressing through Higher Education, so many have additional supports in place, both pre-entry and throughout. Support varies across institutions, and may include:

  • Pre-application support
  • A named contact for support throughout studies
  • Access to additional funds
  • Additional academic support and flexibility
  • Access to student wellbeing services, counselling and health services

We have compiled a list of support pages for students at universities and colleges in Scotland. Where available, we have included links to dedicated support pages for Refugees and Asylum Seekers, otherwise we have linked to their general student support pages.
