THE achievements of Scotland’s universities will be toasted tomorrow at The Herald Higher Education Awards – in association with University of the West of Scotland. Hosted by STV’s Jennifer Reoch, the ceremony – to be held at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow – will celebrate how colleges and universities work with employers, use technology, support students and focus on widening access.
