Overview of Glasgow University Scholarships

In common with universities of the pre-modern era, Glasgow originally educated students primarily from wealthy backgrounds; however, it became a pioneer in British higher education in the 19th century by also providing for the needs of students in the growing urban and commercial middle class. Glasgow University served all of these students by preparing them for professions: law, medicine, civil service, teaching and the church. It also trained smaller but growing numbers for careers in science and engineering.

Glasgow is the largest University in Scotland by total enrollment and with over 19,500 postgraduate, the second largest in the United Kingdom by postgraduate enrollment.

The university has the sixth-largest endowment of any university in the UK. It is a member of Universitas 21, the Russell group and the Guild of European Research- Intensive Universities.

the university was originally located in the city’s high Street; since 1870, its main campus has been at Gilmore hill in the City’s West End. Additionally, a number of University buildings are located elsewhere, such as the veterinary school in Bearsden and the Critchton Campus in Dumfries.
