pretty rare to stop in third year when at a Scottish university.

3 year degrees at the traditional universities in England and Wales 
are also degrees with honours. I thought that the difference was 
that Scottish kids leave school one year earlier than their English 
and Welsh conterparts, so that the first year of Scottish University 
is equivalent to the last year of English and Welsh school?

(who can recommend Manchester University. The setting for some of 
the best - and worst moments of my life. I can recommend it for its 
access to great City Life - although erm, Manchester itself is 
perhaps not the prettiest of towns, it is one of the liveliest).
