I'm planning to apply for an LLM in Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow. Now I'm worried that the referendum will damage the reputation of Scottish law degrees abroad. According to the last polls the anti-UK will win. What are your thoughts about this?

Why should Scotland's independence have any effect whatsoever on the reputation of its universities?

I#m worried that Scottish universities may become regionalized institutions. At least there are already discussion about whether Scotland will introduce high tuition fees for non-Scottish students:

Ok, this thead was a little premature! Interesting to see that Glasgow City and Dundee were among the few parts of Scotland that voted in favour of the independence.
