It's double celebrations for Glasgow University which, alongside the University of Edinburgh and St Andrews, made it into in the UK’s top 25 institutions.

Complete University Guide chiefs claim that their league tables 'support prospective students in making informed decisions about their future' and the regional-specific rankings 'help people find the right university for them in their area' which they say are 'also informative for local employers'.

Professor Amanda Chetwynd, Chair of the Complete University Guide Advisory Board, said: “Congratulations to the University of St Andrews for achieving the top position in this year’s Complete University Guide regional rankings.

"The tight rankings show just how high the standards are among Scotland’s top universities.
