The University of Glasgow has been named Scottish University of the Year 2018 by The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide. We were also shortlisted for the UK University of the Year award, having jumped nine places into the top 20. We saw improvements in rankings for:

• graduate prospects
• completion rates [the proportion of students graduating with a first or 2:1 is... above 83%]
• teaching quality
• student experience
• entry standards

We are also ranked 1st in the subjects of animal science, dentistry and education. "Glasgow is in the midst of one of the biggest capital spends for a Scottish university - around £1bn over the next decade - with the redevelopment of the former Western Infirmary site, which will reshape the city"s West End. It is a great example of the transformational role that can be played by universities, not just in individual lives but in communities more widely and in regional and national domains. It recruits internationally based on its outstanding reputation for research, and it has avoided the pitfalls of others in Scotland in being able to provide a student-centric undergraduate experience alongside that. Glasgow"s success in the annual National Student Survey is no accident - and neither is its recognition in our University of the Year awards for 2018."
Our vision is world-class, world-changing university, Our mission: To bring inspiring people together and create a world-class environment for learning and research, empowering staff and students to discover and share knowledge that can change the world
The shared motivations and beliefs which bring our community together. We are Creative, curious and deeply committed to the pursuit and sharing of knowledge. Dedicated to our students, actively seeking to develop their skills, knowledge, understanding and sense of citizenship. Ambitious, adventurous and confident, with the courage to accept and balance the risk of failure with reward in the pursuit of progress.
The higher education landscape continues to change rapidly. Since the publication of our 2010-15 strategic plan, many challenges have arisen: but these also bring new opportunities.
The global higher education sector is more competitive than ever. New providers are emerging in the UK and abroad, and universities are responding by raising the bar of what constitutes a quality higher education experience. However, we believe that the University of Glasgow has the vision, resources, people, talent and commitment to meet these challenges head on and remain a destination of choice for staff, students, research funders and other external partners.
Demand for higher education is coming from increasingly diverse sources. The number of students across the world seeking a degree continues to grow, but more and more often they wish to be educated in their own country, leading to opportunities for transnational education. The rise of innovative learning models, including online learning, distance provision and workplace CPD, provide fresh avenues for growth as the higher education sector adapts to the needs of a more connected society.
Reductions in public spending over the next strategic planning period are expected to limit the availability of national funding for teaching and research. However, exciting new opportunities are emerging to grow our revenue elsewhere, including innovative strategic partnerships with industry and other external bodies, research funded by the European Research Council and large-scale interdisciplinary projects.
