Which are the easier to get into universities in Wales / Scotland

[Jurrasic]

Some, such as the University of Aberdeen ar pretty selective and hard to get into,
Which, actual universities are there, that offer a fairly good education, not like a trade school or something,
and which universities would you say should most students not bother applying to, due to high possibility of not getting in ?

And how selective are Universities in Wales / Scotland if student has an A.A. degree already when applying?

considering studying abroad after getting 2 year degree, but not sure what the schools actually require.

The University of Aberdeen would be difficult to get into, but what are the names of some schools that offer a pretty good education and are fairly easy to get into? (Or are there none of these in these areas, perhaps only in London or something along those lines, not sure?)

As a rule of thumb, the admissions requirement of a UK university are proportional to age.
I don't know about wales but there is a list of Scottish Unis here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_universities
Herriot-watt and Napier used to be technical colleges (translates into a US community college?) but all UK universities are officially equivalent.

The newer ones tend to be more concentrated on applied topics but are also a lot more flexible about admitting people from a range of backgrounds rather than just straight from school.
How much you US education would count as course credits depends on the instutite. But remember UK universities make all their money form overseas student fees so will generally let in anyone with a pulse and a bank account

I cannot speak for all universities in Wales and Scotland, as each institution has their own admission criteria and standards. However, generally speaking, universities in Wales and Scotland tend to have a similar level of selectivity as universities in other parts of the UK. It is not necessarily accurate to say that universities in these areas are easier or harder to get into compared to those in London or other regions.

In terms of universities that offer a good education, it is important to consider the specific program and department rather than the overall institution. Some universities may have a strong reputation in certain fields, while others may excel in different areas. It is important for students to research and consider their own academic interests and goals when choosing a university.

As for universities that students should not bother applying to, I would not recommend ruling out any institution solely based on their selectivity. It is always worth applying and seeing where you stand in the admission process. Additionally, universities in Wales and Scotland may have different admission requirements for international students, so it is important to check with each specific institution for their requirements.

In terms of studying abroad after obtaining a 2-year degree, it is best to check with the individual universities for their specific requirements. Some may require additional qualifications or specific coursework, while others may have more lenient admission criteria. It is also important to consider the visa requirements and processes for studying abroad, as these may vary depending on the country and institution.

Overall, my advice would be for students to thoroughly research and consider their options when choosing a university in Wales or Scotland. It is important to not only look at the overall reputation of the institution, but also the specific program and department that you are interested in. It is also important to keep an open mind and not rule out any universities solely based on their selectivity.
