Are the Uni courses in Scottish Universities the same as in English Universities?

E.g. Geography or whatever.

:eek:
Surly by now you must have realised that ALL uni cources are differant as they all do differant modules etc etc, plus finding a "geography" course for example is quite hard, its normally all split up like Marine geography, Geology etc.
The short reply is no, check the god damn perspectus (sp) thingy :D

No, like Bopperz said different uni's offer different modules and different styles of teaching. It'd pay to look around. (:

I think he meant the system, not the content.

Kinda. Bit of both really. I want to take a Business course when I'm older but if I moved either up or down the country or even out of the country to England say, would it be roughly the same? Would I still have the same degree?

I should think the same degree, yes. Like a BA (Hons) in Business is a BA (Hons) in Business - I can't see it varies. Just the course content. If you look around, you'll find a uni that offers you all the stuff you're interested in. Hopefully. :)

Every uni will devise it's own course and modules, so there might be a bit of a difference in content. Although you'll still end up with the same degree, you'll find that certain degrees from certain universities will carry a bit more weight in industry. For example: Heriot Watt's Science degrees carry a lot of respect but their language degrees aren't considered any better than one from another university.

If you get what I mean. I haven't explained that very well.
