From the vibrant and cosmopolitan social life of the cities to the peace and quiet of some of the world’s most stunning scenery, Scotland offers a lifestyle to suit everyone.
The country has a strong economy and a reputation for allowing new industry sectors to emerge and thrive. As a result, job opportunities in Scotland are diverse.
Scotland is a centre of excellence for electronic technologies. It is the fifth largest financial services centre in Europe.

In addition, Scotland continues to break new ground in areas such as computer gaming, literature, fashion, textiles, music and animation.
However, while many people come to work in Scotland because of the career opportunities, others are drawn by the appeal of enhancing their quality of life.
