Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. Today we are a broad-based, research intensive institution with a global reach.
Our research-led approach is one of the reasons why a degree from the University of Glasgow is so prized, but our students also benefit from opportunities to study abroad, improve their employability, take part in work placements and explore a wide range of social activities. As a result, we welcome scholars from more than 100 countries around the world every year. The 2010 International Student Barometer ranks us 3rd in theUK, and 90% of our final year undergraduates report satisfaction with their experiences. Our students graduate equipped with the skills they need to compete in a global workplace, and with friendships and networks that last a lifetime.
For those who are new to the city, Glasgow is a wonderful place to explore, to try something new, develop your skills and get a world class education. Those students already living in Glasgow will know what a great city it is, but will now get to experience it from the perspective of a new student.
Glasgow is one of the most exciting cities in theUK and has one of the largest student populations. You will find something to cater for every taste, be it dancing until 3am, shopping for the latest fashions, sampling some of the local music, or relaxing in one of the many coffee shops.
The University has around 3,500 residential spaces available for its students with approximately a quarter of those designated as best suited for postgraduate students. Providing you have firmly accepted an unconditional offer, or met the conditions of a conditional offer from the University of Glasgow, and have submitted your application for residence before the 22nd August, then you are guaranteed accommodation (please check our admissions policy for full details).
A range of accommodation is available, from self-catering flats to more traditional halls of residence. All residences are furnished with internet access and have fully trained support staff to advise on a wide range of matters. There is also a free SRC Halls to Campus minibus service.
