Your friend may be able to study in Scotland with you if their private intermediate education is considered equivalent to a UK bachelor's degree, which is a key requirement for pursuing a master's program. They will need to confirm the equivalency of their qualifications directly with the Scottish universities they are interested in. English language proficiency, usually proven through exams like IELTS or TOEFL, is also necessary unless an exemption applies. Additionally, they must show that they have enough funds for tuition and living expenses, as international students typically do not receive public funding in Scotland. If your friend needs more guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help clarify the specific eligibility and admission process for their situation.
