STEAM
There are many opportunities to further your passion for Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Maths (STEAM) at Glasgow Caledonian University.
Strong STEAM skills can lead to careers in engineering, science and IT. But currently, only an estimated 25% of the STEAM sector are women. At GCU, we aim to inspire and enable more women to engage with STEAM.
As the University for the Common Good, we are a proud partner of Equate Scotland and the Women's Engineering Society. We are home to a dedicated WiSE research centre and winner of the Athena SWAN bronze award. The University has a range of study options and opportunities that can help you to find a lasting STEAM career.
