Career-boosting, life-enhancing learning
At Glasgow Caledonian University, we believe that university is for everyone. But we also know that for many of us, full-time study isn't a practical option.
That's why we offer flexible, part-time courses with a wide range of funding options to help you achieve your goals.
Part-time study at Glasgow Caledonian University lets you boost your career and earning potential while maintaining an income. Our single-site campuses in Glasgow and London welcome around 4,000 part-time students each year and host a range of part-time courses and learning options from our convenient city-centre locations.
We also provide work-based learning to allow you to study as part of your current job.
Part-time study options
Many of our part-time courses offer professional accreditation and hands-on experience so it’s no wonder 90% of our graduates are in employment and/or further study, outperforming the Scottish sector average by +2 percent (HESA, 2026)
