University of Glasgow

Established in 1451, the University of Glasgow is recognised internationally for our ground-breaking work and we have inspired thinkers from eminent scientist Lord Kelvin to the father of economics Adam Smith.

As a world top 100 university and member of the prestigious Russell Group, we support talented students to fulfil their ambitions regardless of background or circumstances.

To study here is to join a dynamic community of more than 40,000 world changers from across the UK and from more than 140 nationalities globally. We encourage our students to have a global outlook and support them to study or work abroad with one of our 200 partners worldwide.

We are a university for the world. Working in partnership with others across the globe, we are advancing solutions to real world problems. We are proud to be a founding member of the university networks Universitas 21 and The Guild of European Research Intensive Universities.

We are committed to tackling the most pressing global challenges facing humanity and the natural world. We are delivering against the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are ranked in the top 20 universities in the QS World Sustainability Rankings.

Over the last decade, we have invested in our estate to expand our world-class campus and facilities. Opened in 2021, the James McCune Smith Learning Hub provides state-of-the-art teaching facilities, with flexible study spaces and interactive teaching to create a more immersive learning experience.

In 2023, we were named Scottish University of the Year by The Times/Sunday Times and were awarded the prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize for the sixth time.
