The University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. It dates from 1451 when King James II of Scotland persuaded Pope Nicholas V to grant a lead seal, or bull, authorising Bishop William Turnbull of Glasgow to set up a university.
Glasgow, established more than 550 years ago, is Scotland's second oldest university, the UK's fourth oldest, and an important pillar of Scotland's biggest city. As well as excellent teaching and a worldwide reputation, students enjoy a compact campus at the heart of the city's stylish West End. A flexible system of study means that those who aren't studying for a professional degree can make the final decision about their honours subject/s at the end of the second year. There's an unusually high proportion of local students: almost half come from west Scotland. Among the rest are representatives of 124 other countries. Glasgow is a confident and dynamic city that has reinvented itself in recent years. Facilities for shopping, entertainment and cultural pursuits are excellent, and there is dramatic countryside nearby. |
