International students have long been attracted to Scottish further education - with the University of Glasgow alone having a population of around 14,000 from over 140 different countries.
And new research has found that the top three universities in the UK for overseas students are in Scotland.
The report by Cargo Force sought to answere the question of where in the UK do international students have the best overall experience and prospects.
To find out, looking at all UK universities, they analysed a wide range of factors including the number of international students enrolled, the proportion of graduates securing full-time employment, overall employment success rates, average one-bedroom rental prices, and more.
By combining these metrics into a comprehensive index ranking, they were able to uncover the top UK universities for international students.
Here are the results - the 10 best universities in the UK for international students.
