The University

Glasgow Caledonian University is Scotland ’s fifth largest university in terms of student recruitment – with nearly 17,000 students. We were formed in 1993 when The Queen’s College Glasgow  and Glasgow Polytechnic merged to receive university status. Since then the university has established a reputation for providing vocationally focused programmes – currently 95% of the university’s graduates seeking employment find work or further study within six months of graduation.

We have over 90 undergraduate and 40 postgraduate programmes, as well as a large number of students engaged in research for PhDs in topics that put them at the forefront of their disciplines.

Academic provision is divided into seven academic schools:

• Built & Natural Environment
• Engineering & Computing
• Health & Social Care
• Life Sciences
• Law & Social Sciences
• Nursing, Midwifery & Community Health

The university is one of the leading institutions in Scotland for social inclusion, and we are actively improving access and widening participation in higher education through non-traditional routes and sectors.
