The university operates over four campuses in the south and south-west of Scotland, offering higher education to local people, and giving students from outside the area a chance to live in a lovely part of the country. The Paisley Campus is located in the heart of Paisley, Scotland's largest town. Paisley is seven miles west of Glasgow and, as such, is ideally located for access to some of Scotland's, and the world's most beautiful and historic places such as Edinburgh and Stirling.
