Glasgow offers a high standard of living at a competitive price. And if the pace of life in the city gets too much, you can always escape to the country to wind down with the Highlands and Islands less than an hour’s travel from your door.

Glasgow’s also got talent.

Within a 100 mile radius, you’ll find further institutions noted for their work in the field of digital media, including he University of West Scotland, the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics and The University of Abertay in Dundee.

Home to the creators of worldwide bestselling game Grand Theft Auto, Harry Potter creator JK Rowling, Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, and the Edinburgh International Festival, Scotland is the place where creative companies succeed.
