About Company

Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. Today it is a broad-based, research intensive institution with a global reach.

A leading research centre
The University of Glasgow is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of leading UK research universities, and they’re striving to change the world with their expertise. Their annual research contract income totals more than L116m, which puts them in the UK’s top 10 earners for research. This enables them to make important discoveries, whether that’s finding a way to detect malaria in minutes, or contributing to the biggest particle physics experiment in the world: the Large Hadron Collider.

Excellence in teaching

The research-led approach is one of the reasons why a degree from the University of Glasgow is so prized, however 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, scholars are welcomed  from more than 100 countries around the world every year. The 2010 International Student Barometer ranks this University as 3rd in the UK, and 90% of the final year undergraduates report satisfaction with their experiences. The students graduate equipped with the skills they need to compete in a global workplace, and with friendships and networks that last a lifetime.
