Incoming students

We regularly welcome students from all over the world to come and spend part of their studies with us.

At Glasgow Caledonian University we offer a range of exchange opportunities across our three Glasgow schools; Glasgow School for Business and Society, the School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, and the School of Health and Life Science.

We want to make sure that our exchange and study abroad students have a great time outside of the classroom too. On arrival, you will be invited to a welcome induction where you can meet other exchange and international students, as well as take part in a range of free events and trips. We also have an on-campus gym, VISA support team, wellbeing services, learning development centres, a Students’ Association and much more.

On completion of your exchange, you will become a GCU alumnus which comes with a range of benefits, including our 30% Student Loyalty Discount for further study at GCU.
