Glasgow Caledonian University

In 1993, Glasgow Caledonian University officially became the third university in Glasgow by Act of Parliament, although its origins can in fact be traced back to 1875. It is now one of the biggest universities in Scotland, with over 18,000 students enrolled.

The GCU is regularly cited as one of the most modern and vibrant universities in the UK. It has established campuses in London and New York and is home to the British School of Fashion. The university places a strong emphasis on the future employability of its graduates and boasts consistently high levels of student satisfaction.

Glasgow Caledonian University is based in the heart of Glasgow on Cowcaddens Road, with the Saltire Centre as the hub of student activity. This award-winning centre opened in 2006 and its academic library is one of the most-visited in the UK with over 1.4 million visits per year.
