About

History

Over the last five centuries and more, we’ve constantly worked to push the boundaries of what’s possible. We’ve fostered the talents of seven Nobel laureates, two Prime Ministers and Scotland’s inaugural First Minister. We’ve welcomed Albert Einstein to give a lecture on the origins of the general theory of relativity. 

Education

‌The University of Glasgow offers a range of online postgraduate programmes and short courses as well as free MOOCs (massive online open courses).

Research

Our Research Beacons are cross-disciplinary areas of excellence that bring together inspiring researchers to address grand challenges.

Our world-leading biomedical researchers are at the forefront of developing new treatments and diagnostics for chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and stroke, and our research informs policies and practices to improve individual and population health, and reduce inequalities.
