Glasgow is a university which is steeped in history and tradition, immensely proud of its past, but focused on an exciting future. Our staff are among the best in the world – dedicated, passionate individuals renowned for their leading-edge research – and their skill lies in the expertise of their subject and in being able to convey this knowledge to our students. Glasgow offers an open and warm welcome to all. You'll find plenty of like-minded people with whom to share your ideas and interests. At Glasgow we attract talented students from home and overseas, offering you a wealth of opportunities and experience to make the most of your abilities. As a postgraduate student here, you will study and socialise with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and from across the globe – building friendships and networks that can last a lifetime. Because we want you to benefit from a stimulating educational experience and have the confidence to realise your ambitions for the future, we make every effort to ensure you can enjoy a whole range of opportunities above and beyond your postgraduate study. We are continually developing our work-related learning opportunities and encouraging entrepreneurship: you can get involved in voluntary work, participate in student organisations and societies, and take advantage of a whole range of services which help you build and develop your own particular set of skills. It is therefore unsurprising that employers actively seek out our graduates. 88% of our alumni are either employed or further pursuing their studies six months after graduation.
