Information about the University of Glasgow for Academics

institution

Our people are at the heart of our institution, and we are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where all colleagues can contribute, thrive and reach their full potential. We continue to advance these ambitions through our focus on service excellence and enhancing colleague experience.

We support our researchers in a positive and collaborative research culture. We deliver an award-winning researcher development programme for postgraduate students. Our 15 centres for doctoral training provide funding and collaboration opportunities.

The University’s diverse research community is highly recognised for the quality of its research and its global impact. Our researchers are renowned for collaborating with partners locally and internationally to build dynamic teams to advance knowledge across a broad range of disciplines.

Through our membership of The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities and our partnership with the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), we have launched a new network of Clusters of Research Excellence to build research capacity in Africa and foster collaborations between our two continents.
As an institution, we embrace and support curiosity-driven, applied and challenge-led research.

Join our university community, where people have always been at the forefront of innovation, including eight Nobel Laureates, two UK Prime Ministers, three First Ministers of Scotland, 10 Fellows of the Royal Society and 11 Fellows of the British Academy.
