3 Welcome Welcome to Scotland, Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University. We are delighted that you have chosen to come here to complete a course of study in Forensic Science and aspects of the Scottish Criminal Justice System. Over the next three weeks you will take part in an exciting and packed programme of study which will include lectures, laboratory exercises and field trips. A group of highly qualified professionals will deliver a programme which will keep you engaged and make your learning experience. For many of you, this will be your first visit to Scotland. You have arrived into a country steeped in rich heritage and cultural tradition. In this programme you will experience some of the vast cultural wealth the country has to offer. This will include a visit to the ancient Stirling Castle and taste Scotland biggest export, whisky at its source. Glasgow has much to offer in the arts, music, dance and nightlife. It is a vibrant city and you will have plenty of activities to choose from during your time here. The way of life here can be very different to where you live. You should absorb the culture and enjoy it. Some form of International experience is becoming an important requirement of University education. What you will accomplish here in Glasgow Caledonian University will be educationally rewarding, interesting and something you will be able to draw on in any future career plans. I wish you a pleasant stay. Dr Mahesh Uttamlal Programme Leader Senior Lecturer, School of Engineering and Built Environment 02
