Strong Performance of Scotland's Universities
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Scotland's universities on their performance in the league tables that have been recently published by the Complete University Guide; recognises that St Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow are in the UK top 20 and that Aberdeen, Abertay, Heriot Watt, Strathclyde, Robert Gordon and Napier all rose in the rankings from the previous year; believes that central to this performance are research quality, student satisfaction and graduate prospects; welcomes the value that the country's universities bring, but recognises that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, they might face severe financial and logistical challenges in the upcoming period.
