A fantastic week! Thank you all for choosing @UniWestScotland for this #comenius International Study Week. And thanks to Laurence Giaud @LGiraudJ1 and Martin Mullen @irishosaru for putting together such an impressive programme!
The final day of the @UniWestScotland Comenius International Study Week saw the students join other UWS students on a bus tour to Conic Hill, followed by a stop at Inveraray. The weather was fantastic and we even got to see some Highland cows!
A super end to a super week.
