About Glasgow Caledonian University

Glasgow Caledonian University, the University for the Common Good, is a vibrant, values-led, multi-cultural, civic University with a global outlook and strong commitment to delivering social innovation and sustainable development in its education and research.

Our welcoming university community of 1,500 staff and more than 22,000 students from nearly 130 countries enjoy state-of-the-art facilities across each of our campuses in Glasgow, and London, with transnational partnerships in China, South Africa, Oman, Bangladesh and Mauritius. Our success as a globally connected university is demonstrated by the large number of international students studying at our UK campuses.

Central to our Strategy 2030 is the ambition to be recognised as world leading in social innovation through our research and teaching. Achieving these ambitions will involve building on our flagship research centres, such as our Mary Robinson Centre for Climate Justice and our Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health, with a Common Good suite of taught Masters’ programmes including the MSc Social Innovation.

Our research expertise spans our three Schools (the School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, the Glasgow School for Business and Society, and our School of Health and Life Sciences) and various centres. These contribute strongly, with our globally recognised researchers regularly advising governments, industry and international bodies on policy development and delivering impact.

We have a wide range of accreditations and industry links, and 93% of our graduates are in work and/or further study 15 months after graduating (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2022). We offer demonstrable academic and teaching excellence, as well as high rates of student satisfaction. GCU’s student experience nurtures knowledge and creativity to address real-world challenges, changing the lives of our students and others. 

GCU has a strong global presence and makes a significant contribution as a driver of social change – through transformative education, research excellence and our approach to sustainability. Guided by our values – integrity, responsibility, creativity and confidence – we work with others to transform the lives of the people and communities we serve.
