💡 Relevant to all
From dry humour and friendly teasing to a strong sense of local pride and community, life in Scotland is shaped by understated yet deeply embedded traditions, local customs, and a distinctive sense of place. But what does it really take to feel at home when studying or working in Scotland? As we navigate Scottish humour, everyday expressions, and social rituals over coffee, tea or Irn-Bru and begin to understand expectations in university life, we learn that Scotland offers a distinctive academic and cultural environment – one that is also shaped by its particular position within the UK and wider debates around identity, belonging, and internationalisation. Join this campfire session to hear from both a Scottish colleague and colleagues who have moved to Scotland, as they share their perspectives on (adapting to) life in Scotland. Together, they will offer practical insights and personal experiences to help you confidently find your place in the Scottish context.
