Program Overview
About University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow was established in 1451, making it the fourth oldest university in the UK. Scotland’s first female medical graduates completed their degrees here in 1894 and the world’s first ultrasound images of a foetus were published by Glasgow Professor Ian Donald in 1958.
If you choose to study at UoG, you’ll be walking in the footsteps of some of the world’s most renowned innovators, from scientist Lord Kelvin and economist Adam Smith, to the pioneer of television John Logie Baird.
About Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland's biggest and most cosmopolitan city. It is home to many bands that are now international names and there's loads of new talent coming out of the city's live music venues. As well as its thriving street culture, Glasgow has more than its fair share of high culture, with a year-round program of arts and music. There are over 20 museums and galleries, and the city is home to Scottish Opera, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Royal Ballet. People visiting Glasgow for the first time are often surprised at the amount of green space in the city centre - all the 19th-century landscaped parks and gardens are the perfect balance to the urban pace of life.
