About the University of Glasgow and Scholarship

The University of Glasgow stands as a venerable institution with a rich history dating back to its foundation by papal bull in 1451 [O.S. 1450]. As the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of Scotland’s ancient universities, it has played a pivotal role in the intellectual tapestry of the region. Alongside the universities of St Andrews, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, the University of Glasgow was a cornerstone of the Scottish Enlightenment during the 18th century.

With a proud legacy and an unwavering commitment to academic excellence, the University of Glasgow has become the largest university in Scotland by total enrollment. Boasting over 19,500 postgraduates, it holds the esteemed position of being the second-largest university in the United Kingdom by postgraduate enrollment. The university’s journey in the QS World University Rankings reflects a trajectory of continuous improvement, climbing from 59th overall in 2011 to 54th in 2012 and further ascending to 51st in 2013.

Glasgow’s standing within the top 20 in the UK and 3rd in Scotland for the employability of its graduates underscores its dedication to nurturing students who not only excel academically but are also well-equipped for success in the professional realm. The 2008 Times RAE table, which assesses the university based on an ‘average’ score across all departments, positioned Glasgow as the thirty-third-highest of all UK universities. This reflects the institution’s broad spectrum of activities and its commitment to maintaining excellence across diverse academic disciplines.

Within this illustrious academic landscape, the School at the University of Glasgow emerges as a beacon of intellectual rigor and innovation. The School’s vision extends beyond conventional education, aiming to attract academically talented students for postgraduate programs. The overarching goal is to provide these students with an intellectually demanding, research-driven, and industry-informed education that prepares them for leadership roles in their respective fields.

In pursuit of this vision, the Excellence Scholarships have been established, serving as a testament to the university’s commitment to fostering academic brilliance. These scholarships are offered to candidates who have demonstrated exceptional academic prowess, holding a 1st class UK-equivalent honors degree of 70% and above.
