A list of first ministers of the Scotland and the educational institutions they attended. As of January 2024, every first minister has been university-educated with a minimum honours degree. Of the seven first ministers to date, all seven attended universities in Scotland, with three attending the University of Glasgow. Six UK prime ministers were also educated in Scotland: three at the University of Edinburgh and three the University of Glasgow.
Two of Scotland's seven first ministers attended a fee-paying high school, Donald Dewar[1] and Humza Yousaf[2]. All seven attended state primary schools.
Three first ministers pursued degrees in law, two working as solicitors (Nicola Sturgeon[3] and Donald Dewar[4]), the other an advocate (Jim Wallace[5]). Only one first minister of Scotland, Jim Wallace, has attended an English university.
