'This sets out a bold ambition to transform lives through ideas and action grounded in world leading research, teaching and innovation.' - UofG Principal, Professor Andy Schofield

We are delighted to launch ‘World Changing Glasgow: University for the World’, known as ‘Glasgow 2036’. Our strategy for the decade ahead.

This marks an important moment for our University. As we look ahead, in our 575th year, we reflect not only on our heritage, but on the role the University of Glasgow will play in the future.

This is a strategy shaped by our Team UofG community, and it will be brought to life through our shared commitment and the contributions we make every day. Thank you everyone.

We look forward to engaging with students, colleagues, alumni and partners on our ambitious plans and to working together to fulfil the bold ambition set out in Glasgow 2036, ensuring that we continue not only to be regarded among the world's leading universities, but also as the best university for the world.

We can’t wait to see the incredible world-changers you will become.

University of Glasgow is just too beautiful not to capture on camera 🥰

And honestly, is it even possible to take a bad shot of the Gilbert Scott Tower?

The old and the new ❤️

While our James McCune Smith Learning Hub is just 5 years old, the Gilbert Scott building is over 100. A modern and historic campus rolled into one!

And did you know, the University is 575 years old this year! 🎂
