Welcome
Formed in 1993, when Glasgow Polytechnic merged with The Queen’s College, Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian University can trace its roots from those institutions back across three centuries to 1875.
With more than 16,000 students from over 100 countries studying on almost 200 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, GCU is now one of the most dynamic and diverse higher education institutions in the UK.
The university has particular strength in health and the environment, with its allied health research ranked among the top 10 in the UK and, similarly, studies by its School of the Built and Natural Environment appearing in the nation’s top 20.
It also has a reputation for applying its knowledge and skills for the social and economic benefit of the communities it serves, reflected in the Glasgow Caledonian University motto, “for the common weal”.
The university’s mission is to provide a high-quality, accessible, inclusive and flexible learning and teaching environment, enhanced by curiosity-driven research. And it has received several awards for its widening participation initiatives - working with communities where traditionally few people have gone to university.
Based on a modern, single-site, city centre campus in the heart of Glasgow the campus has been designed to meet the academic, social and personal needs of students and staff. The multi-award winning Saltire Centre was named one of the best learning environments in the UK (The Guardian).
