If you’re looking for an undergraduate degree that will kick-start your career, Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is the place for you. You’ll enjoy a modern learning experience and an excellent network of support that we know you’ll find really beneficial. Our city centre-based campus is among the most modern in the UK and we are one of only 29 universities and colleges in the world to be certified as a 'Changemaker Campus' by Ashoka U, for promoting higher education as a vehicle for social change.
At GCU, we pride ourselves on being a practical institution that offers a unique range of degree programmes. Our approach has led to the development of teaching facilities such as a virtual hospital, high-tech broadcasting suite and a fashion factory. GCU is also a popular choice among students for courses in nursing and midwifery, and the university has strong links with the NHS.
At GCU, we know you already have the creativity and curiosity to achieve your full potential and go above and beyond to become part of a bigger movement for change. We are here to support your ideas so that you can go on to contribute, create, lead and influence the way we work and live.
Our job is to help you do what you love, and the vast majority of our graduates find work or further study within 15 months of graduating. The lecturers for your chosen course will have good industry contacts to help you with placements and future career opportunities. Each of the academic schools has developed close links with business, the professions and the public and voluntary sectors to ensure that a high proportion of programmes hold professional body accreditation and to facilitate work or clinical placements for students. In addition, many programmes have industrial advisory groups, which provide guidance on careers, as well as offering guest lectures. In 2018-19, 66% of our programmes held professional accreditation
GCU also has the facilities to accommodate study sessions with a difference – from moving shelves in the Sir Alex Ferguson Library that make finding books a breeze, to ‘think pods’ with whiteboards for group work and private ‘inflatable igloo’ learning areas.
Our University is made up of three schools; the School of Engineering and Built Environment, Glasgow School for Business and Society, and School of Health and Life Sciences. We offer more than 100 degree programmes designed to shape your future and help you tackle some of the many global challenges of our time.
